I'm in my late thirties and my skin is great except for this long term worsening problem. It's been three months since my co2 treatment. I've had no improvement. Phenol peels seem quite extreme for the area so close to the eye, and after all the failed skin treatments I've had to address this issue, I am wondering if surgery might help even though my problem is wrinkling, not under eye fat or malar bags. I am located in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the question. You should be able to flying by 1-2 weeks after your surgery. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.
Only you and your surgeon know what the deformity was prior to surgery and what was the objective of the surgery. I would recommend that you discuss the outcome with your surgeon and what was done during the surgery and attempt to reach a consensus on the result and plan for correction....
You have post operative swelling. The alcohol and smoking are not helping your situation. Also spring allergies may be contributing to the problem. Elevation of the head and cool compresses will help. You have not ruined your surgery. Follow up with your surgeon....
