Can Restylane work on eye bags ?

Eye bags and fillers

Eye bags can mean fatty pockets that are herniated or even malar edema. Hard to say without an exam. Fillers may camouflage the fatty bags a bit, and can make the malar edema worse.

Restylane for eyelid bags

Some bags are caused by fluid swelling. Restylane won't help this. Other bags are caused by fat deposits and in this case the overall contour might be made more smooth if a concavity below the fat pad is filled out to make a straighter line on profile.

Restylane for Lower Eyelid "Bags"

Hi, As a matter of fact, as I am writing this answer to you, I am waiting for a patient to arrive for her Restylane injections for her "tired" hollow lower eye area. Yes, Restylane is the product of choice to fill the hollows of the lower eyelids. The area is very delicate and unforgiving so make sure to choose your injector most carefully. Good luck and be well.

Often Restylane works well for under eye bags

Often bags under the eyes form because, as we age, we loose fat from our cheeks. When that happens the fat under the eyes appears more prominent. If that is the cause of the bags then Restylane often works very well to correct the problem. In fact, the results are often much more natural than from surgery.

Lower lid Restylane

Restylane can sometimes disguise puffy lower lid bags if they aren't really puffy but just look that way because of a deep tear trough below them.
