The American Society of Plastic Surgeons website will be a good starting point for a list of qualified surgeons. Dr. Parmod Sharma is a possibility. Consult with 2 - 3 surgeons in your area to find one that best meets your needs. Photos will help to determine if you are a candidate. In person consultation is most beneficial to confirm and develop a surgical plan that makes sense for you.

You are not too young.

I commonly treat young people with lower lid bags. It is usually a straight forward procedure to remove them - and they often do not reoccur. What you have has been inherited - it is not a sign of aging. It can usually be corrected without any external incisions. Look at my web site for some examples.

Without examining you, it would be difficult to suggest what you should have done. If you have bags of fat in the lower lids, this can be easily treated by removing the fat from inside your eyelid. This will not leave a scar on the lower lid skin. Dark circles may be a pigmentation issue and again it is best to evalute in person. Good Luck.

In addition to being board certified eye surgeons, they also complete a very specialized and rigorous two year fellowship devoted to eyelid and facial plastic surgery.

There are many experienced doctors in NY/NJ for eyelid surgery. However, if I had to choose one I would recommend Dr. Norman Pastorek. You are young at 26 to have eyelid surgery but it could be herediatry where some people age fast in that area. Dark circles could be from reasons other than baggy eyes. It could be allergies, pigmentation, increased vascularity in the area. Also remember, for younger individuals sometimes improvement in the lower eyelid area can be achieved by fillers like... more

New York or New Jersey Eyelid Surgery Doctor

There are several well qualified, board certified plastic surgeons in the area with experience in treating baggy eyes and dark circles. However, very few of us have had additional training in oculoplastic surgery, where we just focus on eye and eyelid problems. A consultation with a surgeon with these qualifications will give you better insight into your problems and allow you to achieve your goals using either surgical or non-surgical treatments.
