Every "Remedy" to Curing Puffy Bags Under my Eyes Hasn't Worked

I'm 22 years old and wake up every morning with bags under my eyes... this has been an on going thing since i was maybe 10. I've chalked it up to heredity. However, every "remedy" and "cream/roll" hasn't worked, nor has putting cucumbers, tea bags, spoons, etc. I would like to know approximately how much I'm looking at for surgery if needed, or if maybe botox would help tighten the skin tissue under my eyes. Thank you!

Botox isn't for lower lid bags

Some patients in your age group get some passing improvement from cosmetics such as Chanel under eye serum. If this hasn't helped, then you could consider a filler such as Restylane. I would also caution you against smoking, which will worsen the lower lid bags, and sun exposure, which accelerates aging in the face. No need to rush. Do some research and consider your options. If you think that you're ready for treatment, make an appointment with a local... more

You may be a candidate for an Injectable Filler treatment to minimize the appearance of your lower eyelid bags.

Congenital lower eyelid bags may be camouflaged by a well-performed Injectable Filler treatment to the area just below the bag: I call this the lower eyelid groove. I prefer Silikon-1000 for permanent results. You can see the attached photo from my RealSelf gallery demonstrating this in one of my gracious, younger patients. I hope this is helpful for you.

Puffy lower eyelids

Find a good plastic surgeon in your area. Consider Long Island Plastic Surgery Group, Franklin Avenue, Garden City, NY.

Get a couple of opinions, see "before and after" photos, learn as much as you can about the procedure and what to expect, and choose a... more

Treatment of Puffy Bags Under Eyes

As an eyelid specialist, I have yet to find a home remedy that is effective in treating bags under the eyes.  The most effective options are surgery and injection of fillers.  My preferred fillers are hyaluronic acid (such as Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm) because hyaluronic acid is normally found in the skin.  Furthermore, these fillers can be readily dissolved by injecting an enzyme should you have any concerns with your results.
