Question

I am really bothered my lower eyelids, especially whenever I smile. I am interested in orbicularis oculi muscle hypertrophy blepharoplasty. I have seen online one doctor offers a "lower eyelid muscle tuck." I have done Botox on th lower eyelid before but results were temporary and didn't allow a complete seal when I closed my eyes to wash my face or shower. I wa What options do I have and can I completely get rid of my lower eyelid pilows permanently?

You would benefit from a lower lid blepharoplasty with conservative orbicularis reduction. The “bulge” will never go away completely but you can make it less pronounced by filling in your tear trough with your natural fat (lower lid blepharoplasty) and reducing the muscle.
