Can a mini face lift be done through the lower eyelid (blepharoplasty)?

Asked By:Ronellati

I have seen a plastic surgeon for a lower and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Since i have no wrinkles, no bags and no dark circles, but only an excess of skin just under the eye bone, the doctor suggested a mini face lift through the lower eyelid. He said that this will be considered a mini face lift. Is that possible? Does it result in droopy eyes?
