Would Restylane Be Enough for my Under Eye Bags? (photo)

I would love to have a beautiful under eye area. I look sick and tired. Im 27 years old and in the past three years my under eye bags have gotten significantly worse. I believe it might be due to aging and genetics because at 21 the area was smooth and had a lot of volume. I am really unsure of what would be the best course for treatment. Im afraid lower eyelid blephanorasty will leave hollowness and restylane would not deal with the fat. Im open to hearing alternative suggestions

Restylane and lower lid rejuvenation

Based on your photos it appears that you are a good candidate for lower lid rejuvenation with a dermal filler, like Restylane or Juvederm. Without seeing you in person however and examining you, it's difficult to determine what will be the most optimal treatment for your specific needs. Meeting with a reputable, well-trained, and experienced injector will help educate you and hopefully provide you a more rested and youthful appearance you are trying to achieve.

Try combining filler with botulinum toxin

Hyaluronic acid fillers can do a fantastic job of softening the transition between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek. Ask your provider to evaluate you for botulinum toxin in the upper cheek muscle as well. This will further soften the tear trough area and extend the longevity of your filler.

Restylane for under eyes

Since you are so young I would recommend Restylane. I would wait until you are older for a lower bleph, though that would be good. I don't usually recommend facial plastic surgery on people under 35 because that's when significant changes to facial structure begin to be apparent, so doing surgery too young means you'll most likely need another procedure several years down the line as the facial structure changes. Doing Restylane now, in that area, from a qualified physician injector, should... more

Unfortunately, I don't think your question is really answerable without a complete examination. Restylane would help, but it probably wouldn't address everything. Consider seeing a qualified eyelid specialist.

Under eye issues

Photos are very difficult to use to properly evalute the unwer eyes. An in perason evaluation would be best. Filler sometimes are beneficial to camouflage and then in others sometiems fat excision. Probably the former in someone of your age.

Restylane is great for under eyes

Although your pictures do not take the place of a formal consultation, I would most likely recommend against a blepharoplasty at your age. Some extra volume in the form of Restylane or other HA filler would be appropriate. Any blepharoplasty would necessarily need to be EXTREMELY conservative to prevent hollowness as you age.

Lower eyelid hollows in 27 year old

Restylane may be ideal for your under eye hollows (tear troughs), especially given your age, as it is safe and effective. Surgery (lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition) may be valid too depending on how much fat is present on your lower eyelid, which is difficult to assess from the photo. See an oculoplastic surgeon.

Restylane for under eyes

Although You need to be evaluated in person, it does appear that the minor hollowing under your eyes could be easily treated with Restylane. You are absolutely right to avoid surgery in this area.

Hello

Thank you for the picture, in our opinion we believe that blepharoplasty would be the best solution to get rid of you’re under eye bags. It is dangerous to inject filler to that area there is a 1% chance of becoming blind if a nerve is hit. I would do research first before anything. If you’re looking into getting a refreshed look and fatty tissue and excess skin removed surgery would be your best options.
