I have folds/excess skin ober the corners of both my eyes - how csn this be removed?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

The excess skin around the corners of your eyes is often addressed through blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or an oculoplastic surgeon to assess your specific situation.

From the photos provided it's very difficult to visualise the area. I would advise that you see a Plastic surgeon with an interest in facial aesthetics for a full assessment.If there is excess skin elsewhere on the upper lid, you may benefit from an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. If the excess skin is confined to the inner part of the upper eyelid only, I would advise to refrain from any surgery. Surgery isolated to this part of the upper eyelid would have a high risk of webbing and overall patient dissatisfaction.

Hello E,
The corner of your eye skin next to your nose is difficult to take care of without causing severe scarring.  I would advise you to leave it alone!  Good luck and be well.
