Ultherapy: Q&A

Will Ultherapy Work to Reduce the Appearance of Eyebags Cannot Use Fillers or Surgery? (photo)
I was wondering if Ultherapy will work for me here are the photos. I have asthma and a heart condition so anesthesia is out of the question for vanity surgery. I also have reactions to injections and don't like the effects of fillers as my biggest problem is seeing when I look down due to the bags so evening out the bags with fillers would not improve the problem. Is there a non invasive form of blepharoplasty the procedure is HORRIFIC I do not do well with pain either :/

Ultherapy for Eyebags
Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is commonly used on areas of the face and neck to address sagging of the eyelids, brow, cheeks, chin and jawline. Generally, this treatment is not used to correct under eye bags. Ultherapy is more suited towards tightening of the skin. I would schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Ultherapy + Dermal Fillers = Lift & Smooth
In general, we believe that Ultherapy does not address lower eyelid puffiness. However, indirectly it may improve this area if you get some amount of cheek lifting. I would speak with an experienced surgeon who also uses Ultherapy to evaluate your options. Combined, Ultherapy to lift and smooth, along with dermal fillers to plump in the right places, you can find some nice results.

Ultherapy may not help lower eyelid bags
Whether the bags of your lower eyelids are composed of fat or fluid, the Ultherapy may not help improve the appearance.

Ulthera will probably not work for eyelid fat pads
Utthera is really for skin tightening and does not reduce fat pads. The fat pads can be removed under local aneathesia in a cooperative patient. You may also want to explore fraxel repair. Although fraxel repai does not reduce fat pads, it causes significant tightening which may give the appearance that your fat pads are smaller

Ultherapy for undereye fullness
Looking at the limited picture you've provided, I don't believe Ultherapy can provide you with any noticeable improvement. Your best option for effective treatment of the lower lid pseudoherniation of fat and slight skin excess is a subcilliary blepharoplasty with fat removal or repositioning. This procedure can be done in the office with mild oral sedation and local anesthesia as long as you are able to be off any anti-coagulants or aspirin containing medications.
