Is There a Nonsurgical Way to Remove Bags from Under my Eyes?

I am 52 years old and I have bags under my eyes. One is worse than the other and I would like to know a nonsurgical way to get them to go away. I don't have any winkles and this is the only thing that gives my age away. Also being on a fixed income I would like to know how I can get rid of them the most cheapest way possiable. Can anyone advise of a nonsurgical solution?

Possibly, Restylane can help

If you have deep grooves below the bags, you have what are called "tear troughs." Without surgery, these can be injected with Restylane to fill in the depth of the troughs and disguise the apprerance of the bags. This treatment lastd about one year. Your best advice would be to see a plastic surgeon and ask what your options are.

Volume Lift can help in a less invasive way

The Volume Lift can be something that can help in a less invasive way.  This technique entails volumizing the face with no incisions and is done through small puncture holes that heal essentially imperceptibly.  Volumizing is the best way to hide eye bags without the hollow surgical look.

Non-surgical blepharoplasty

It is difficult to tell what you would be a candidate for without examining you or at least looking at some photos. Many patients are scared of surgery and are looking for non-surgical treatments. Restylane injections can help camoflage puffiness and reduce hollowing along the tear trough, which can sometimes dramatically improve the appearance of the under eye area. For the right person this is a great treatment, but it is definitely not for everyone. It works best for patients with... more

Nonsurgical eyelid bag removal

In my opinion, the best way to address lower eyelid bags is with surgery. Injections for the lower eyelid are not optimal as the skin is very thin and the slightest irregularity from filler injections will be seen through the thin skin. Filler injections can also cause prolonged swelling in the area. Lower eyelid surgery has a very quick recovery and can be done in my office under local anesthesia with consistently excellent results.

Surgery is likely to be the best and least expensive long term

While injections to obscure the transition from the bag to the cheek may be effective, it is only short term. It is also more difficult to adjust injections for uneven bags, althought it can be done. The injection routine also gives you the up and down correction because initially it may be great, but you need the result to decrease before you can have the next maintenance. A lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplasty can be done under just local anesthesia and oral sedation and provides... more

Non-surgical Blepharoplasty (eyelid)

Non-surgical treatment of lower eyelids consists of primarily using fillers in the depression immediately below the eyelid bags. Different physicians recommend different fillers such as juvederm, restylane, and radiesse. These can be performed in the office with generally no downtime. Bruising is a possibility. It is better to under rather than overcorrect. Autologous fat can be used but is highly technique dependent and does involve minor surgery.

You can try Matriskin. I am 45 years old and this product worked on my wrinkles.

I had a lot of wrinkles and it was worse when I was smiling because people could see my wrinkles around my eyes. I didn't want to use cosmetic surgery so I tested a lot of products and I have often been disappointed.

But in this moment, I use Matriskin product line and frankly it's amazing. I don't want to tell you that I have nothing anymore but I radically fewer wrinkles.

Try it :-)
