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.

Answer: Repeat blepharoplasty After 20 years you may have some skin laxity again. You may also have some laxity of the tendons which support the lid, so just taking off skin may pull the lid down. If the oculoplastic surgeon told you you would need a graft to safely do the surgery, they probably were talking about a graft on the inside of the lid so that it won't pull down with a skin excision. If you are hollow with deep tear troughs, you may also need filler or fat.

Answer: Can a lower blepharoplasty be safely and successfully repeated? Cosmetic surgery does not stop the natural ageing processes
