My surgeon won't do CO2 laser with my upper & lower eyelid surgery. Should I get laser done prior to surgery? (Photos)

Asked By:lk789 in Riverside, CA

Everything I keep reading is that an individual should have CO2 laser done in addition to the eyelid surgery. I am 60 years old and have bags under my eyes that are quite swelled and make me feel a lot older. I am a CA girl who loved the sun too much growing up, so my skin is not in prime condition, but it's not too bad either (I do use Obaji). I am just afraid that my skin will look too crepe-y under my eyes if I don't have the laser...any thoughts or suggestions prior to my final decision?
