27 y/o female. Good genes from parents but bad health. Got crepey skin under eyes with fine lines when squinting overnight a couple of weeks ago. Have only gotten worse. Dry eyes and bad vision for about a year so have been squinting a lot. Stressed. Attempted retin-a 0.025% for 2.5 months starting aug. Went close around the eyes. Didn't use SPF, but live far north and hardly go out. Stopped retin-a. Had tear trough filler end of april and got temporary swelling which might have thinned skin.

Answer: Treating Eye Bags & Crepey Skin Eye bags and crepey skin can be due to many factors including: genetics, aging and lifestyle. Under eye bags can be permanently corrected with surgery or temporarily camouflaged with fillers.There are great non-surgical options to fill in under eye depressions and hollowness. Using dermal fillers, a liquid eyelift can be performed. A dermal filler such as Restylane would be placed in the cheek and tear trough to hide the depression or bag underneath your eye. Surgery would require a fat-repositioning lower lid blepharoplasty. In this surgical procedure, fat from the eye area is moved into the tear trough depression filling the actual depression. Cost will vary and can be discussed at your consultation. I hope this helps!

Answer: Crepey skin If you are most bothered by the crepey skin under your eyelids that gets worse when you squint then a tiny amount of Botox can be helpful in this area with light laser resurfacing for the skin. You certainly do not want to put Retin A so close to your eyes and if you suffer from dry eyes you want to be cautious about how much Botox is injected in your lower eyelids as it could cause a temporary ectropion and significantly worsen your dry eye problems. I really do not think filler is your answer if what bothers you if the crepey skin that gets worse when you squint, but an exam would clarify this for me and allow me to give you the best advice. All the best! Dr Tamboli
