I HATE my under eye bags. They are genetic. I want to have them fixed. My aunt had it done but 10 yrs. later she has hollow, sunken orbital area. I don't want that so I am considering having a filler put in my tear troughs, but I've heard horror stories. I've tried every type of cream, home remedy, etc.I'm 39 and I don't want to look like I'm in my 40's. I'm attaching a pic taken with light over my head so you can see the bags well. Suggestions?

Answer: The Management Of Tear Trough Deformities It's not unusual for patients with tear trough deformities to request plastic surgical consultation. When this situation arises, a variety of treatment options exist to treat this condition. These include surgical procedures that release the arcus marginalis and the use of injectable hyaluronic acid fillers that minimize tear trough deformities.It's extremely important to individualize the treatment of tear troughs. For this reason, the specific procedure chosen will depend upon the patient's anatomic findings and aesthetic goals.It's important to realize that lower eyelid filler injections are very effective for treating tear trough deformities, but aren't for everyone with this condition. In some cases, the lower eyelid skin is extremely thin and for this reason, injectable fillers aren't always indicated. In this situation, injections may be accompanied by nodules and bluish discoloration. Furthermore, this approach only provides a temporary solution to the problem.It's important for patients with tear trough deformities to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Blepharoplasty for your problem You have dermatochalasis with too much fat to hide with a filler. The definitive treatment is lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Possibly fat transposition would be appropriate in your case, but it is too difficult to see in the photo. Good luck.

Answer: Tear trough correction Although you don't have much excess skin, you are a good candidate for lower blepharoplasty with repositioning of the fat pads over your year trough. Fillers can camouflage the tear trough but you would still be left with bags. Surgery would correct both of your problems.
