Which procedure would address my scar and droopy, hooded eyes? (photos)

Question

Hello, I have a scar on my eye that I got as a child, I'm now 32 and would like it gone, can this be removed surgically or through other methods? My eyes also seem to be a bit droopy in the outer corners and a bit hooded.. I have two creases on my left eye due to the scar it seems, how can I open up my eyes? Blepharoplasty or canthoplasty? Eyebrow lift? As well as scar revision?? Please help

Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.
