Fixing Under Eye Wrinkles with Blepharoplasty? (photos)

J
Joy_FullerJul 6, 2013

I was born with wrinkles underneath of my eye and hollowness as well. This is very unattractive to me and has always made me very self conscience. I'm 21 and I want it fixed. I want a normal under eye area. My eyes have always aged me. I was wondering if I should go with lower blepharoplasty to fix the wrinkles and hollowness/crease of fatty extra skin right by my nose? I was also wondering what are any other options that might be beneficial to fixing my under eye problems? Thanks!

The size of the eye (globe) is usually due to how much the eye ball protrudes in its socket rather than the difference in size. For example, after trauma there can be loss of fat volume in the socket so the eyeball sits back in the socket making it seem much smaller than before. On the other...
