Know which line you have before deciding about it
An assessment of the eye corner takes a few minutes and answers the question everything else depends on: how much of the line is the orbicularis oculi folding the skin, and how much is the skin itself. You should leave knowing what each option changes, what it does not, and whether doing nothing is the reasonable answer for you.
