8 months post-op botched upper & lower blepharoplasty - can it still be saved? (Photos)

Frangipani88Sep 5, 2022
The unsightly, strange wrinkles under my left eye bothered me on the fotos where I laughed, which is why I went to the surgeon. He persuaded me to also operate on the upper eyelids so that I look more "rested". Actually I liked my face very much and asked him to take away as little as possible. 8 months have passed, I haven't laughed once since then. I'm just ruined. Can it still be saved?

If you truly have a prominent fat pad of your lower eyelid (difficult to tell from the photo), then the only solution is a lower blepharoplasty. Filler will not solve your problem and only look worse. However, it appears that you have both a fat pad (volume excess) and a tear trough (volume...

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused...
