Eye Bags Treatment: Q&A

Non-surgical Treatment for Undereye Bags?
Is there a non-surgical way to treat bags under the eyes? I'm getting to the age where they are starting to become noticeable (I'm 41), so is there any drug or process to eliminate them at least temporarily? I'm really not interested in surgery, but I also don't want to waste my time.

There is No Effective Non Surgical Treatment for Under Eye Bags
Thank you for your important question.
Puffiness of or Bags Under Eyes is a structural problem caused by excess or herniation of eyelid fat bulging against the eyelid skin.
This fat must be repositioned and or removed to remove the puffiness or bag.
Do not believe ads that say a cream or laser treatment will remove puffiness or eye bags-they will not.
Fat injection and Filler injection such as Restylane can camouflage the problem but injections into the eyelid can be...

Restylane is an excellent filler for minimizing under eye bags
Restylane is a great product for injecting under the eyes, in the "tear troughs". Filling this area reduces the appearance of the under-eye bags by providing a smooth transition between the lower eyelids and the cheeks. The skin in this area is very thin and therefore this procedure should only be performed by expert injectors. The advantage of Restylane is that in the event of a lump or irregularity, the product can be dissolved. A recent scientific paper demonstrated that the...

Lower eyelid bags
There is no good cream or non-surgical treatment for lower eyelid bags. If you, however, have a hollow appearance under your eyes, you may be a candidate for an injectable such as Juvederm, which can temporarily fill in the area and soften the look of the "bags". If, however, there are actual "bags" under your eyes, then only surgery will help at removing some of the excess skin and/or removing/repositioning the excess fat deposits.

Restylane might help
At 41, you might have early tear troughs making it look like you have buldging fat bags above them. It may be that rather than needing fat removed or repositioned, you could mask the tear trough very effectively with Restylane. I have had many patients with this and they have great non-surgical results that last a year or longer.

Fillers under the eyes are great for under eye bags!
Fillers have really become the number one treatment for bags under the eyes. We used to think most bags were caused by herniation of under eye fat and would treat it with eyelid surgery, called blepharoplasty.
Currently, we know that most "bags" are actually caused by adjacent indentations or sagging skin. Surprisingly, these bags can be improved with fillers placed in the tear trough and cheek bone area.
This can be a tricky area to treat and is the most...

Non-surgical Treatment for Under Eye Bags
Although surgery is the most permanent treatment for under eye bags there are non-surgical options as well. Fillers are frequently injected into the tear trough, or the shadow below the eye bag, to lift this depression. This creates a smoother and more uniform under eye surface. If you also have dark circles or concerns with skin texture then injection of your own platelet rich plasma, also referred to as the Vampire Lift or stem cell facelift, could be an option...

Bags under eyes, eyelid bags
Topical steroids, ice and cool cucumbers have been used to temporarily improve under eye bags.
Fillers such as Restylane or Fat injections can smooth out the areas below the bags to make them less noticeable.
Please consult in person with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making any treatment decisions.

Non-Surgical Treatment of Bags below the Eyes
There are no good creams or lotions to resolve bags under the eyes.
For textural changes of the skin, Erbium or CO2 laser resurfacing treatments can help rejuvenate the skin.
For someone with mild volume loss below the eyes (tear trough), hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm are excellent.
In the occasional patient with excessive lower lid fat pads, partial debulking of the fat with transconj. blepharoplasty with incision behind the lid may...

Nonsurgical treatment for under eye bags
There are no nonsurgical ways to remove under eye puffiness. But it certainly can be smoothed with the use of fillers. I would try this and I prefer Restylane for this. Good luck!

Injectable fillers are wonderful for lower eyelid rejuvenation.
You can have your lower eyelid bags effectively treated with Injectable Fillers. The bag becomes more prominent in your 40s because a groove develops between the eyelid and cheek. Filling the groove can lead to natural, youthful appearing lower eyelids.
I've attached a photo demonstrating lower eyelid rejuvenation with Injectable Fillers.
I hope this helps, and best regards.
