Which procedure would help minimize bulkiness, asymmetry and hyperpigmentation in the lower lash line? (photo)

Question

I have a very accentuated lower lash line, contributing to the asymmetry and bulky appearance of my lower eyelid. Besides that, I am struggling with very dark pigmentation underneath my eyes. What would be the best procedure/surgery? I am not sure that lower eyelid blepharoplasty would help in my case, since my assumption is that the bulkiness is coming from muscle, but would love ti hear professional opinion.

Your lower eyelids look fine to me, and I see no need for surgical intervention.
I’m sure there’s no shortage of providers. Happy to take your money enough for all kinds of great treatment options for you.
Before scheduling any permanent, irreversible surgery it’s just you ask providers to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patient who had similar eyelid characteristics to your own. An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.
If they can’t show you an impressive collection of before and after pictures, it means you’re either not in the hands of the right provider or you don’t need intervention.
Best,
