Are fine lines around the eye corners removed after lower eyelid surgery?

Lower blepharoplasty, also called lower eyelid surgery is a type of surgery to improve the saggy lower eyelids and the under-eye area. However, does the lower blepharoplasty help improve fine lines around the eyes as well?

Lower blepharoplasty may not be an effective option to improve wrinkles around the corners of the eye. It is common to call wrinkles or fine lines around the eye corners crow's feet.

Well, lower eyelid surgery is best to improve deep wrinkles under the eye area. The surgeon makes a long incision inside the lower eyelid and removes excess skin and fat tissues.

If you would like to improve wrinkles or fine lines around the corner of the eyes, then you can opt for Botox or filler injections. If the wrinkles are superficial, then it is better to get a Botox injection. However, if the wrinkles are thicker and deeper, filler injections will help improve those wrinkles and fine lines.
