29F - asymmetrical eyes & bags. Ptosis, blepharoplasty & fat transfer? (Photos)

Glorious34250Dec 30, 2023
I have asymmetrical eyes and deep eye bags which have worsened with age. I think I would be a good candidate for ptosis corrective surgery but I also want to address the eye bag as well. Would I be a better candidate for lower Blepharoplasty or fat transfer in this area? I’m at 29F and would like my eyes to look symmetrical, youthful and awake.

You would be a good candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty with CO2 laser resurfacing. Because of your early festoons (worse on your left side), laser resurfacing would be a must. This would soften the transition from your lid to cheek. Best to see an eyelid expert.

Festoons are a tough entity to treat. In my hands, the best option is an extended lower lid blepharoplasty and aggressive laser resurfacing. This surgery essentially gives you a cheek lift and tightens the muscle under the eye. You really need a in person consultation to discuss. Best to see an...

Given the history of prior tear trough treatment with a hyaluronic acid filler it is possible that this is what has been called "under-eye puffy pillows," which can result from prior treatment in the infraorbital region with an inappropriate for the area HA filler and/or which had been injected...
