Eyelid Surgery

Q:

I had rhinoplasty 25 years ago and was never really happy with the result. I would like to have a second rhinoplasty, but now have deep puffy bags under eyes. If I were to get a lower blepharoplasty and then have rhinoplasty six months to a year later, would the rhinoplasty stretch out the skin below my eyes?

A:

The best secondary rhinoplasty plastic surgeon I know is Dr. Jack Gunter in Dallas, TX. Rhinoplasty after eyelid surgery does not negate the eyelid surgery. There is no relationship.
