What can be done to correct the appearance of my translucent, sagging and thin eyelid skin? (photos)

Asked By:LH789 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I'm in my early 30s and my eye skin is saggy, paper-like and translucent. I went on some acne medications (isotretinoin and spironolactone) in my 20s which turned my skin tranclucent and it's never recovered. I've been using retinal eye creams and red light therapy for years. I wear sunscreen and take care of my skin but nothing helps. I'm not sure if I'm a good candidate for upper blepharoplasty though because of the poor quality of my skin. Am I doomed?
