Eye Bag Removal Options? (photo)

I am 28 yr old female in Seattle, wa. Everyone thought i was about 18yrs -22 yrs of age until this past year when I developed these eye bags. I went to see an eye surgeon at a Spa Party and he thinks there is not much fat but it is puffy/swollen. He said they will not go away and suggested line fillers or transfer fat under my eyes. What do you think is my best option???

Repositioning of the lower eyelid fat is an good option for puffiness

Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a good option for the puffiness from the fat bulging in the lower eyelid. I have performed this procedure from a behind the eyelid (hidden) incision since 1997.

Puffy bags under the eyes

I would start simple with injectable fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm in the cheek region just underneath the eyelids and tr to blend the contour of the cheek with the lower eyelid. These products usually last anywhere from 6 months to a year and a half. The actual injection is an art form but it is non-invasive and you have virtually no down time. If you like the look then you might consider fat transfer in the future as it is easier to inject a larger volume and the results often... more

Just get a little bit of filler placed in the under eye hollow.

Restylane for the under eye hollow is an excellent alternative to actual lower eyelid surgery. Longevity of the service can be well over a year up to two years. The service is an art form. Look for a very experienced injector.
