The eye bags are worse now. My past surgery was amazingly successful. The lower eye was cut directly aligning with my eyelash, healed quickly, the stitching concealed. What peocess is used now, and at what cost? Will my age be a problem?

Answer: Eye bags Hello! You can definitely undergo lower eyelid surgery again. It sounds like some of the excess fat has returned to this area. It may need to be removed or repositioned. Also, your skin will need to be addressed and maybe a small amount will need to be excised to tighten the area after the fat is removed. This surgery can be done through an external lower eyelid incision, an internal eyelid incision or most likely a combination of both which I prefer to do. Very special attention needs to be paid to maintaining support of your lower eyelids so as to ensure good eyelid position for an optimal cosmetic outcome and to prevent any dry eye problems post-operatively. Of course, in order to formulate a specific plan for your particular situation this will require a consultation and evaluation by one or more experienced plastic surgeons. I hope you find this information helpful! Thomas Taylor, MD, FACS

Answer: Second lower blepharoplasty? Yes this can be done and at your age it is probably done the same way or from the inside of the eyelid if there is minimal excess skin. See a very experienced surgeon for this.
