Can a lower blepharoplasty be safely and successfully repeated?

March 14, 2014
Asked By:Delph

Twenty years after a lower blepharoplasty, my eyes desparately need rejuvenating. The skin looks crepy and hollow with pronounced tear troughs. I've always had large, round, sensitive eyes. An occuloplastic surgeon said it would now be necessary to do grafting or some such thing while a facial plastic surgeon said there should be no problem with a basic blepharoplasty. I want a natural outcome with the least chance of complications.
