Options for lower eyelid bags

Injectible fillers such as restylane, juvederm, and belotero can in skilled hand help to camouflage lower eyelid bags, but only to a point. The trick is to fill in the hollow beneath the bags. If you have severe protrusion of the fat, surgery usually works best. In younger patients with good skin and muscle tone, the fat can be approached through the inner surface of the lower eyelid, a procedure known as transconjunctival blepharoplasty

How Can I Get Rid of Undereye Bags?

Undereye bags result from orbital fat pushing forward. The definitive treatment is lower blepharoplasty where some of the fat is removed or repositioned. If you're seeking to avoid surgery, dermal filler can be placed to camouflage the bag and fill in the hollow below the bag. Filler treatments are performed as an office procedure and require 30-45 minutes. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen Weber, M.D., F.A.C.S. Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgeon

Non-surgical Lower Eyelid Bag Improvement

Generally, there are a few options to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids, eye bags, or dark circles. First option includes basic skin care, tretinoin, and/or chemical peels.

Ahh, no.

Surgery or fillers are generally how these are addressed. However, it is worth trying a good under-eye moisturizer. While this is not a sure thing, moisturizing the skin can make things look much better. You might even be satisfied with the level of improvement you achieve. For select people, a chemical peel is also a potential option but this is kind of like a surgery.

Options to treat under eye bags

There are basically two options to help treat under eye bags. One is the surgical option, which involves removing some of the protruding fat which causes the puffiness. The other method, which is non-surgical, would involve injecting a filler, like Restylane, under the bag to help even out the area and improve it. The result from the Restylane would be temporary, whereas the result from the surgery would be much longer lasting (i.e. years).

Eye bags

If you've had "eye bags" since you were young, its likely you have lower eyelid prolapsed orbital fat. This is usually an aging change, but in a subset of patients this is hereditary in nature. There are two ways to address this problem: 1. Camouflage with fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane or Boletero. Injection of these dermal fillers in tear trough region can improve the appearance of the bags 2. The more permanent way to address this is through lower eyelid... more
