Juvederm

Juvederm works great for the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. If ultra is injected taht can be good for the tear troughs as well. Bags are fat that need to be treated with excision.

Realistic Expectations for Under Eye Bags with Juvederm & Restylane

Although cosmetic dermal fillers to the hollow of the eyes (tear troughs) cannot remove fat pads/bags, the idea is to use dermal fillers to camouflage this area by adding volume underneath to smooth the transition and groove that accentuates the fat pad. Although Restylane (we do not use Juvederm in this area) is an excellent treatment option, there is a limit to what these products can do. Only an in-person evaluation will determine if you are an appropriate candidate... more

Fillers

There is a limit to what fillers can do. You are describing a good amount of aging or sundamaged skin or the combination.One can not fill indiscriminately otherwise you start to look artificial. Have a consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon for exam and advise. You may need a full Face lift, not fillers.

Fillers for smile creases not for lower eyelid bags

For deep smile creases 2 layers of Juvederm Ultra and Ultraplus can be used or Radiesse. Usually bags of the lower eyelids need to be treated surgically but other times fillers can be used to smoothen the contour between the pouch and the eyelashes but this must be done by someone who is very experienced and you need to be informed of all the risks.

Fillers For Troughs, Not For Bags

Fillers work only for tear trough or nasojugal lines, not for bags themselves. Shallow bags can improve with Thermage, and larger bags will need surgery.

Use Restylane to Fill Under Eye Lid Hollows

Hi, Examination of your lower eyelid "bags" will determine the best treatment for you. If you have a hollowness that can be filled to allow the bag and cheek to be blended, then Restylane can be used to fill the hollow. The area is very delicate and unforgiving. Juvederm occaisionally will cause too much fullness in this area, and problems that are difficult to correct. It is very important to make sure that your physician is skilled and experienced... more

Lower eyelid hollowness

Your options for your lower eyelid hollowness is fillers or surgery, or a combination of the above. It depends on your lower eyelid and cheek anatomy and contour difference, and if you want surgical vs nonsurgical treatment. Dr T.

Not for the eyes

Juvederm may be an optoin for the nasolabial lines by the nose and mouth (likely at 58, Radiesse would give a better bang for your buck). But the under eye bags would worsen with filler. Surgery is likely the best option, or MAYBE fractional CO2 laser.
