Puffy eyes may be caused by allergy or sinus

Nissan Pilest, MD answers: Puffy eyes treatment for a 26 year old?

According to my plastic surgeon, I am too young to do a blepharoplasty surgery. I am 26 and does not want to leave a scar. What I have noticed about my puffy eyes is that it's close to my nasal area.

I see redness and it's more puffy, but the outer corner on the eyes is not. He suggested that I do Thermage. But I read online that Thermage is not effective and you have to wait six months. If it doesn't work, what else? This cosmetic surgeon is well respected in my state. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

For the deeper acne scars, fillers will not do the job alone. Subcision by special needles is done to release the tethering scar tissue underneath the scar. The other option is to excise the scar & either close the resulting defect with suturing; or refill the defect with a graft of healthy skin, usually obtained from behind the ear.
