I am looking to do a CO2 laser around my eyes to address creepiness and some scaring post upper/ lower bleph. however, my eye surgeon offereded to my entire face. I do have laugh lines and little lines around my lips( not a smoker or drink from straws, but I do have naturally big lips and am also a very expressive person).
