Would I benefit from eyelid surgery? Prominent lower lids

Question

I'm a 30 year old female and am wondering why my lower lids are so prominent. Would I benefit from a procedure?

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos you have extra skin under your eyes. For get rid of this extra skin you may need lower eyelid blepharoplasty. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

You might benefit from lower blepharoplasty but need more detailed evaluation to determine. See an expert.

You have relatively prominent eyes with some bulge in the orbicularis muscle below the eyes. Filler might be of help.

I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.  You may benefit from a lower blepharoplasty.  You may also be a candidate for fillers as an alternative.  An in person evaluation and discussion of your goals is needed for the best recommendation.

Lower eyelid lift with fat grafting may help recontour the prominence of the excess skin and hollowness of the lower eyelids and cheeks.
