Carboxytherapy seems excessive

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: Should I have Carboxytherapy before Blepharoplasty?

Should I get Carboxytherapy first before I consider Blepharoplasty for minor eye bags (starting to sag a little) and major dark circle (I am in my 20s)? As Carboxytherapy claims to break up fat cells, if I get Blepharoplasty first, would it make my eye hollow at the bottom if I get Carboxytherapy later? Thank you.

I would caution against carboxytherapy or any injection of material to dissolve fat such as lipodissolve. A blepharoplasty is a much better and more predictable procedure than either of these treatments.

A: No Carboxytherapy before Eyelid Surgery

Carboxytherapy would be foolish and possibly dangerous. I cannot state which treatment I would recommend for you. It depends on the anatomy. Blepharoplasty, even in young patients, gives splendid results. Injections can be used, understanding that fat injections are less predictable. Laser resurfacing may play a role. It all depends on the particular problem. But carboxytherapy has no role.
