Multiple treatments for under eye Bags
There are multiples causes of eye bags. While blepharoplasty is probably the longest lasting and most 'complete' technique, there are many patients who do not want the risks and complications and higher costs associated with surgery. In some patients particularly if the bags are secondary to a sight to moderate excess of skin or loose skin then the Pixel Laser or fractionated Co2 laser can offer significant improvement. It too will have downtime with it . The length of the downtime will be...

Treatment of lower eyelid bags
The treatment of lower eyelid bags is very individualized, and largely dependent on your physical examination. The problem can certainly be corrected with a blepharoplasty/eyelid surgery. Some people have bags due to excess skin, and others have either excess fat, or fat herniation/bulging. Most people have a combination of problems. Depending on your individual situation, the bags can be corrected by skin and or fat excision/repositioning.

Do not Remove Fat From the Lower Eyelids. If Done You Will look Skeletal.
Do not remove the fat from lower eye lids. Period. Lower eyelid fat is not excess fat it is herniated fat. I equate removing it about as logical as cutting out a piece of your intestine in an abdominal hernia. Look in the mirror. Look at others. 97 % of humans are fat deficient. We are hollowed eyed creatures as we age and it only gets worse. Aging is a process thet entails loss of fat. As we age we look more and more like...

The surgical treatment if you are not a candidate for filler would be lower lid blepharoplasty - most surgeons perform this through a transconjunctival (inside of the lid) approach to remove fat. If your lid is lax or loose, then a tightening procedure and skin excision if...

Correction of eye bags
Correcting eye bags if due primarily to an excess of visible fat can be corrected with a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty through a small incision behind your eyelids without leaving a visible scar. Talk to your surgeons in your area about that procedure. I hope this information helps.

"Bags" under eyes respond well to blepharoplasty
As we age, the tissue that "holds back" the under eye fat relaxes, and the fat moves forward becoming more visible. The "extra" fat is removed with lower lid blepharoplasty, along with any extra sagging skin. This is a "minor" surgery. In some clients, a volume filler may help fill in the "trough" below the "bag" area. A Plastic surgeon experienced in fillers can evaluate your situation and make a good recommendation...
