I am a 50 year old woman who has under eye crepey skin and wrinkles when smiling. I also have hollows and bags that make me look tired and older. Interested in treatment options. I am 5’8” and average weight.

Answer: Several options Hi angiemarie. You have several options, and it really depends on how aggressive you want to be. For the lines, the easiest starting point is getting neurotoxin injection to the orbicularis oculi muscle because that will decrease how intensely that ring of muscle around your eye can contract when you're smiling, thus creating less wrinkles. You should expect to get this consistently every 3-4mo or so, and it will definitely take time for this to soften. Because your skin already looks crepey as you say, it likely means that your skin is already losing some of its collagen, so anything to work on boosting your collagen and strengthening your skin will also help- measures like microneedling+RF and excellent skincare and laser will be your friends for this. Finally, for the bags, the best treatment would be to consider a lower blepharoplasty possibly with fat grafting. Good luck!

Answer: Lower eyelid bags and crepey skin Lower eyelid bags are addressed with removing the excess orbital fat; at times this fat can be transferred into the tear trough to smooth the valleys. Crepey skin is carefully excised and often with a lid tightening procedure like a canthopexy. Blepharoplasty give much longer lasting results than fillers.
