Lower blepharoplasty for hollows and wrinkles below my eyes - Am I a candidate? (photo)

Question

I have concerns on the hollows and wrinkles below my eyes, am I a candidate for this procedure?

Thank you for sharing your questions and photo. It appears that you could improve from laser skin resurfacing and fillers. See an oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and guidance. 
Good luck!

A lower blepharoplasty can fill out the hollows by transposing the fat.

Best Wishes,

Before jumping to the expense, risks and downtime of invasive, blepharolplasty surgeries, especially considering that the under-eye changes seen in the photos are very early on, you would be wise to first consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. 
Most likely, you would be placed on an at-home topical prescription regimen that would entail the daily use of an alpha hydroxy acid and a topical retinoid to be combined with a series of in-office superficial peels, consisting of high concentrations of an alpha or beta hydroxacids, Jessner's Solution or low concentrations of TCA. You would be surprised how much improvement can be obtained in this way in the course of just a couple of months or so. A good rule of thumb for any algorithm is not to jump to plan Z before exploring plans A & B. 
And finally, in your quest for treatment, you will no doubt, along the way, be hawked all kinds of expensive, supposedly "next big thing" energy-based devices, like fraxel lasers and RF gizmos. Just know that the hard science to support the use of these bells and whistles lags woefully behind the heavy marketing hype and social media buzz to promote them. So, buyer beware when it comes to considering these.
Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello dear. Since you only have excess skin on the top of your feet, you would only be a candidate for blepharoplasty in this part, in the upper part. This will help you rejuvenate your face, removing excess skin, giving you a more rested, fresh, and youthful appearance. Write to us at 829-554-6062 for a more accurate evaluation.
