I don't like my lower eyelids. Do I need a blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I don’t really like my eyes situation especially because of my lower eyelid status. I would like to have a cat eye for my upper eyelid but I don’t know what could benefit my lower eyelid regarding the area I circled in the pics. Co2 laser? Plexr? Lower blepharoplasty? What? I’m so confused. I’ve had this since I was little but it’s getting worse with age I think. I’m 30. Thank you in advance

For puffiness and sagging under the eyes, we often use Renuvion helium plasma radiofrequency energy to achieve incredible results and take years off of your appearance. Combining RF energy and cool helium plasma, the signs of aging (wrinkles, pigmentation, skin laxity) are improved in a ‘Nonsurgical Eyelid Lift.' The focused heating tightens and peels the upper layers of skin with extreme precision, leaving the surrounding area undamaged, smoothing and tightening the periorbital skin, and improving the overall skin quality around the eyes. It's an aggressive treatment, and the recovery time is longer than with other nonsurgical procedures, but the results can be life-changing.​ See an expert to determine if this is the best solution for you. Best, Dr. Emer

You would just need simple skin removal which would help (blepharoplasty) without fat removal. It seems as if there is just redundancy of skin.

Great Question! Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that helps treat eyelids, which can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. This surgery can help target the eyes by removing skin, muscle, and even fatty tissue. Some patients increase their results by adding lasers post-operatively. As with any surgery, finding the right candidate for the procedure is imperative. Schedule a consultation to find out if a blepharoplasty is right for you! Best, Dr. RG

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. The treatment of choice for your upper eyelids is blepharoplasty. The lower eyelids could benefit from erbium laser or having a pinch of skin removed. Make an appointment with an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for detailed in-person evaluation and proper guidance. Good luck!

You would benefit from having a lower eyelid surgery called blepharoplasty.  This is a safe surgical procedure performed thru a tiny incision performed underneath your eyelashes.  You might want to consider doing a conservative procedure on your upper eyelids.
