Tear troughs - would a lower blepharoplasty improve the appearance of my eyes? (Photo)

Asked By:cantwaitfornewme in Ottawa, ON

I've had pronounced tear troughs for as long as I can remember. I'm sure they are genetic as my 8 yr old DD has them too. I consulted an oculo PS 12 yrs ago when I was 28 yrs old and he told me then that he couldn't do anything for me and that I shouldn't believe any other surgeon that says he could help. He told me that I didn't have any excess fat and that the troughs couldn't be filled. He mentioned that some fillers would be available soon for that purpose. Can anything be done today?
