Pinch Blepharoplasty for Under Eye Treatment

In appropriately selected patients, this can be a perfect intervetion that gives fabulous results.
It can be done under local in the office and takes about 1 hour in total. Healing time is about 3-5 days, depending on bruising levels. I have given fillers at the same time and have some VERY happy patients as a result of this procedure. It can be repeated and will not interfere with a more traditional blepharoplasty if you ultimately need one down the line.
Patients are typically younger (40s or 50s) and must have tight lower eyelid tone. If the lower eyelid is weak, then changes to the lower eyelid shape can occur.
Find a reputable surgeon and you will get the best answer as to whether this is the right procedure for you.
Best of luck

We do not generally perform pinch blepharoplasties in our practice. The reason for this is that I believe that removal of skin from underneath the eyelid causes an alteration in shape of the lower eyelid. Often this takes months to occur fully, but it is present if you look closely.
Typically the look of a slightly downgoing side of the eye is the result of removal of skin without support.
Therefore we typically perform an ultrashort incision cheeklift (USIC) when removing skin from below the eyelid.

I highly recommend that you spend your time and energy focusing on identifying a surgeon you are comfortable with and less time and effort on what procedure you should have.  Every procedure has its risks and benefits.  Every procedure works differently in the hands of different surgeons.  If you arbitrarily decide you need a skin pinch, I assure you that someone will offer you that surgery whether it makes sense for you or not.
