Post lower blepharoplasty bag when I smile. Is this skin or muscle? (Photo)

Asked By:magali kamari in Florida, FL

Ihad a lower blepharoplasty ayear ago for wrinkling (no bags) I am now left with a bag which when I smile makes the suture line scar quite visible as it it quite a low scar. I have been told it is because I have strong eye muscles, a bit of the muscle needs to be trimmed. I am worried about having the muscle removed that it may cause more problems but am dissapointed I still have wrinkles and now a bag too! Is this safe or should I just leave well alone and put up with the bag?? Any advice please? TIA
