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.

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.

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.
