Question

I’m looking in getting upper eyelid surgery already, will also getting a lower help my mid face lines. Really insecure how tired they make me look. How can I treat these?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Common reasons for lower blepharoplasty include tear trough deformity or pseudoherniation of the orbital fat.  An in-person exam would provide a more accurate diagnosis, but preliminarily based on your photos it does appear you have pseudoherniation of fat creating "eye bags.” They should also be more prominent when you look up. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning will provide nice results and a better lid-cheek transition in this case.  If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you and discuss your options. @drdonyoo

It's on your photo, you may have a prominent middle and medial lower eyelid fat pad. By removing these, it may lead to a smoother lower eyelid appearance and it may also minimize the appearance of your under eye groove. An examination would be necessary to determine if this is the case. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
