CO2 laser or blepharoplasty, or both? (Photo)

October 6, 2020
Asked By:mfvbyfvb in San Diego, CA

I was thinking of having CO2 laser resurfacing with a focus on the eye area to treat crepey skin under the eyes and to tighten up the eyelid area. Now I'm wondering if what I really need is a blepharoplasty, lower, upper or both? Should I do CO2 laser first to see what kind of results I have, and then do blepharoplasty if the CO2 doesn't sufficiently resolve the eye sagging /crepey skin. If I do in that order, does it look like upper eye or lower eye is the bigger problem?
