Will Blepharoplasty Reduce Wrinkles Under the Eye?

Yes, the lower eyelid wrinkles will improve with blepharoplasty.  There may be better options such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels for lesser degrees of wrinkling such as yours.

Typically, lower blepharoplasty is done to decrease lower eyelid skin excess and remove fat bags. It is not an effective treatment for removing lower lid wrinkles. If it is done to do that, it may result in pull down of the lower lid and would best be temporary in nature. The laser resurfacing or chemical peel is a better option for lower eyelid wrinkles. I hope this information helps.

Not all eyelid wrinkles are solved with Blepharoplasty surgery. Believe it or not, different wrinkles will respond better to different therapies.

Finer wrinkles in the lower eyelid correct nicely with chemical peel or laser resurfacing procedures. Since you do not have puffy lower eyelids, that might be a nice option.

Wrinkles that go onto the cheek near the side of the lower eyelid are best treated with Botox.

Horizintal lower eyelid wrinkles from excess skin can be corrected with a Skin pinch procedure, which can be done in the office.

Generally, full blepharoplasty procedures are reserved for patients with wrinkles AND contour problems, such as fat protrusion or muscle thickening.

Hope this helps

Best of luck
