Age 33, blepharoplasty or laser resurfacing for lots of wrinkles on my lower eyelid when smiling? (Photos)

November 12, 2023
Asked By:shirayukib in San Francisco, California, États-Unis

I am 33 yo with lots of wrinkle on my lower eyelid when smiling (almost none at rest) and kind of heavy upper eyelid, again especially when I smile and more on the outer corner. I have been advised laser skin resurfacing (erbium 1540 nm) by a dermatologist and blepharoplasty (upper + pinch on the lower) by an eye surgeon. I am lost in assessing what would be the best solution between the 2 options. Any advice?
