FIllers vs.Surgery for Lower Eyelid Issues (Eye Bags)
Thank you for your question and the photo. There are non-surgical options for camouflage of the contour issues and skin texture in the lower eyelid region, including fillers and resurfacing procedures. The results of these treatments, however, may be disappointing if you have excess skin, loose eyelids, or too much fat. These issues are best addressed with a lower eyelid lift. For my patients, I recommend a procedure that uses the excess orbital fat to help fill in the hollow...

Dark circles
There are several issues that will need to be addressed. First a transconjunctical lower blepharoplasty will remove the fat bags. Second, excess skin will need to be tightened up thru a pinch technique and a canthopexy to tighten the outer corner of the eyelid. Any residual wrinkles , if present, could be treated with a fractionated laser

Non-surgical treatments for wrinkles and dark circles, but puffy eye bags require surgery
Thank you for your question. You are asking if there are non-surgical treatments to treat dark circles and wrinkles under your eyes, and indeed there are. However, judging from your photo alone, there are other procedures you should consider to treat your under eye area as a whole.
In my practice I would treat the two concerns you mentioned non-surgically. I treat wrinkles under the eyes using a fractional CO2 laser. For dark circles, I use another cutting edge...

Hello
The procedure that will give you the best and longer lasting results would be the blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). You do have other options but it all depends on what kind of results you are looking for.

Photos Show Much More Than Dark Circles
It is true that you have dark circles and wrinkles. More importantly your photos show a fairly obvious asymmetry between your eyes, some lid retraction and significant fat bags which are the main cause of your dark circles. What you have is definitely a surgical problem and could be the subtle indication of a thyroid problem. I would recommend a complete eye exam, thyroid studies and to stay away from anyone who thinks fillers is the answer.

Fillers would be disappointing
Honestly, although I love using fillers in my practice, this is not a great indication for it.
Although the easy answer is "lower eyelid blepharoplasty", your anatomy is a challenging one because you have prominent eyes, lower lid fat prolapse and wrinkling with mild eyelid retraction, and midface volume loss. All these factors make you a set up for worsening lower lid retraction if it is not addressed at the time of surgery.
What I would recommend is lower lid retraction repair with...

Under eye bags
Dear Adagietta,
In my experience, Restylane may not give you the results you are looking for
I have injected Restylane in eyes that look like yours and although there is improvement, it does not fully correct it
A lower blepharoplasty with a fat transfer will give you the results that you are looking for
Best regards,

Non-surgical treatments for under eyes
The only non-surgical treatment to help with the hollowness beneath your eyes would be to use an injectable filler. There are a variety of options for the fillers, but my recommendation would be to use one of the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, or Belotero).
