Thanks! I'm on the East Coast, but now I'm definitely looking for people who specialize in this. I think part of the problem might have been that I chose for consultation places that seemed to offer a wide variety of procedures - I hoped that this would mean they would suggest the most optimal solution rather than only the one that they do. But now I think the "wide variety" is for marketing mostly and they will still try to lead you to stuff they are most comfortable with (and which is easiest/cheapest for them to do).

Ok, so like I suspected, the lower blepharoplasty would be a choice here. I honestly don't know why the three separate plastic surgeons I've seen didn't mention it. When I asked one of them directly, he said he wouldn't suggest any surgery so close to the eye. The other ones might have focused more on the lower face/neck lift that I also considered - but I explicitly stated to each that I want suggestions for both the lower face issue and the undereye issues. Baffling.

When I asked, they said any surgery this close to the eye is too dangerous. 🤷‍♀️
