Common reasons for lower blepharoplasty include tear trough deformity or pseudoherniation of the orbital fat. An in-person exam would provide a more accurate diagnosis, but preliminarily based on your photos it does appear you have pseudoherniation of fat creating "eye bags.” They should also b...

Training varies between surgeons even within the same specialty, and you'll find that some ophthalmologists feel comfortable performing surgeries outside of the eyes, and some facial plastic surgeons feel comfortable operating on every aspect of the face, while some may not. I would focus more...
