What is the best option for my under eye area? (photos)

Question

I'm really hoping you can help. I hate my under eye area, it's making me depressed. I have some fine lines and crepe like texture, however the worst part are the huge smile lines when smiling. I've tried 2 methods of resurfacing with no improvement. I've had Botox to the under eye area with no improvement, also had chemical peels. It's costing a fortune. Do I have excess skin and need a blepharoplasty?I had filler in the past but it was restalyne Lyft which created buldges when smiling.

Thank you for the question. Based on your photos, you are a goo candidate for lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). This will treat the excess skin and fullness of the lower eyelid area. This can be combined with other facial procedures such as fat grafting for enhanced result.. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Fellowship-trained plastic surgeon. Houston, TX

It may be that a lower blepharoplasty, (eyelid), procedure can improve things for you; particularly if combined with lifting the mid-face area.  Seek an opinion from a member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.  They should be able to advise you properly
