Question

I’m considering eyelid surgery but every picture I see of someone who’s had it has dark or puffy lower eyelids. Mine are more wrinkled. Will this surgery fix my issue or should I consider other better suited options?

You are a good candidate for lower eyelid blepharoplasty with CO2 laser. This procedure will reposition the fat of your lower lid to create a smooth transition from your lower lid to cheek. The CO2 laser will then help with fine lines and wrinkles.

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

Hello. Eyelid surgery can be performed not only in cases where puffy eyes, i.e. fat bags, are enlarged, but also in cases where there are wrinkles on our skin to remove this excess. Upper and lower eyelid surgery is right for you. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile (+90 539 204 40 90). You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Difficult to tell what’s going on based on your photos and the fact that you’re wearing glasses.

Lower blepharoplasty is good for fat bag prolapse.

Wrinkles can be addressed in other ways. My Undereye Weekend Lift is a non-surgical procedure that can help with not only wrinkles, but also fat bag prolapse (if present) in many patients.

See an Oculoplastic surgeon for a proper evaluation and recommendations.

It appears you would be a good candidate for a lower blepharoplasty.  You can consider other treatments to optimize your results.  Morpheus8 combines RF technology with microneedling to improve skin tone and texture.  Botox is great for addressing dynamic crow's feet wrinkles.
