I have bags under the eye and hollowing and when I smile I have developed excessive skin that wrinkles a great deal. I would like to know if a transconjunctival blepharoplasty and reposition the fat would help. I then wonder if a skin pinch would help the extra skin. Would it help the wrinkles? Could the insision scar or darken ( I have melasma?) what are the overall risks?

Answer: Lower Lid Options You mention two very effective tools in lower lid improvement, but be sure to see a surgeon who also has expertise in chemical peel of lower eyelid skin. A peel can tighten skin without a scar, and correct melasma (will need to follow pre/post peel skin protocol for best results).

Answer: Blepharoplasty vs laser resurfacing Hi,It is difficult to answer your questions without medical quality photographs. If you only concerned with excess loose skin around the eyes and fine lines, then laser resurfacing is a great option. The laser requires a series of 3 treatments with minimal downtime, there is mild redness that resolves in about 72 hours. If have big eye bags, then a blepharoplasty with laser is a great option. A skin pinch has some risks associated with it and I prefer resurfacing (for moderate skin laxity) over excision. Best,Mehdi Sina, MD
