Non-surgical treatments for your eyebags and to improve your light, thin skin

You are concerned that your skin is loose particularly when you smile and this is certainly a common concern that a lot of people have. With the photos you submitted, I can assess that your skin is very light. People who have very light skin tend to have the skin under their eyes are almost transparent, and you can see the red quality of the muscle and the blood vessels under the eyes. If you have very light and thin skin, when you smile, the wrinkles are more obvious. What you are... more

FIllers are your best option here.

I personally do not believe that Boletorois the right product for this area. I recommend Restylane. Please find someone who does a great deal of this know their eyelid anatomy.

Lower eyelid bags, bulges, and dark circles in Younger patients

Generally, there are a few options to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids, eye bags, or dark circles. First option includes basic skin care, tretinoin, and/or chemical peels.

Eyelid surgery in youth

You will do very nicely with a mid facelift to raise your demarcation line combined with a fat saving operation. You must never have fat removed or you will be hollow in your later years. As well as the lift, a nice muscle suspension will add the extra beauty. Little if any skin should be removed. It would be better to have a peel or use a Retin A combo for lower lids. A laser may help also. Always best to... more

Lower lid bags

You have apparent fat pockets in your lower lid creating puffiness in the lower lid and accentuates the crease under the eyelid towards the nose. This is seen commonly as part of the aging process. However, some families have these pockets at an early age. Fillers such as Restylane or Bolertero injected into the crease can camouflage the fat but is only temporary. You best option is a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. This a surgery that takes 30 minutes where... more

Prolapsed fat and skin "discoloration"

From the photo provided, we can see a couple of features: You have mild prolapsed lower eyelid fat, and there is also a slight reddish purple hue to the skin. This is due to the very thin skin of the eyelid allowing the muscle underneath to be visible. Unfortunately, short of concealing creams, there isn't much to be done with the color, however the transition between the between eyelids and cheek caused by the proplapsed fat can be improved. There are a couple of different ways to... more

23 Year Old. What Can I Do About Bags Under my Eyes?

From the photo provided, there does appear to be a small amount of lower eyelid fat however, the cheeks themselves appear quite flat. Flat cheeks will make the face appear relative rectangular and elongated and this may be the reason that your eyes appear somewhat small. Lower Eyelid Surgery would make the eyes appear less tired but do not have the aesthetic ability to make the face appear more feminine as Cheek Augmentation with fillers (I prefer Perlane) or Cheek Implants... more

Bags under the eyes

For someone your age the best and most effective treatment is the placement of facial fillers along the lower orbital rim. This will build up a deficient area under your eyes and get rid of the shadows there. I prefer Radiesse or Artefill; the injections should not be in the soft tissues but deep along the bony rim. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can show you a comprehensive portfolio of pre- and post-op pictures so you can see the types of results... more
