Im 31 years old and I have so much loose skin/wrinkles when I smile. What can be done to fix it? Is it a lower blepharoplasty case?
Answer: Try Botox First Based on your photos, this does not look like you're dealing with true under-eye bags. What you're likely seeing is dynamic wrinkling from muscle movement when you smile. In cases like this, Botox (or a similar neuromodulator) can be very effective. It works by softening the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eyes, which in turn reduces the appearance of those smile lines or “crow’s feet.” This approach can significantly improve the skin’s appearance without the need for surgery like lower blepharoplasty.

Answer: Lower Bleph Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for a lower bleph procedure as that procedure will remove excess skin to your lower eyelids. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can assess your eyes, listen to your goals, and create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Answer: Pinch lower blephroplasty. Thank you for your photos. You have no excess fat of your lower eyelids and it appears you only have skin laxity. You are an ideal candidate for what is known as a pinch lower blephroplasty. This is performed under local anesthesia. The skin of the lower eyelid is gently and repeatedly pinched, just under the eyelashes until there is a standing ridge of excess eyelid skin and the rest of the skin of the lower eyelid is smoother. This standing ridge of excess eyelid skin is then excised and the incision closed. This results in a smoother lower eyelid with an incision line hidden just barely beneath the eyelashes. Bruising is minimal and recovery is fast. Speak to your plastic surgeon about this option.
