42 yr old female looking to address my aging eyes. What are my best options? (photos)

Question

I am a 42 yr old female looking to address my aging eyes. I posted previously but only one photo. I have fine lines, crepey skin, hollows, dark circles, etc. The only in office thing ive done was about half a syringe of bolotero in my undereye about 18 months ago. Recommendations going forward? Keep in mind i also have melasma. What are my best options? Any recommendations in Minnesota or should i consider traveling?

Hope this finds you well. To start you have beautiful eyes! Some options to make them pop even more could be upper lid blepharoplasty, possibly lower lid bleph, filler or fat transfer under the eyes and an annual laser resurfacing. Whoever you decide to go with make sure they have adequate experience with the eyes. Best of luck.

Your photographs are somewhat limited.  However, it looks like you have excess upper eyelid skin and you may have some excess lower eyelid skin as well.  You may benefit from an upper and lower blepharoplasty.  You may also benefit from a brow lift.  I would need photographs taken straight on and both side views to give you a more accurate answer.

Best Wishes,

Best options for eyelid rejuvenation based on your pictures are a conservative upper eyelid blepharoplasty , laser skin resurfacing  around the eyelids and consider some fillers with a fat transfer procedure.

Other non surgical options include laser skin resurfacing, Botox and injectables fillers such as the belotero you already had.

You most likely would benefit from lower blepharoplasty and upper blepharoplasty. See an expert for evaluation and treatment.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Based on these very limitted photos upper and lower blepharoplasty would be a good option with full face chemical peel or laser. Periorbital fat grafting or Renova should be considered as well. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in these techniques is recommended. Good luck.
