S.O.S - Under Eye Bags - Surgery or Filler?
Had them most of my life, only in my thirties are they more obvious. The only thing that ever lessened them was a good sweaty work out. Now that doesn't even work. I can't understand how filler would be good option since under eye bags tend to increase/decrease thru-out the day??? My skin is thin, very pale, and I have a boney face. Per your experience with similar patients what r options/potential risks? Advice much appreciated! Eye pix below looking down/up/sideways etc. Thank you!!

Eyebags surgery, eyebags filler, risk
Filler will only partially correct large eyelid bags.
Carefully and conservatively injected Restylane or Radiesse below the lids will camouflage the bags to decrease their visibility. Sculptra or fat injected into the cheeks is another good option to fill out the hollows below the lids and the cheeks.
Lower Blepharoplasty with eyelid fat repositioning is the most long lasting option which corrects both the bags and the hollows below the lids.

A note of caution here.
You have very thin eyelid skin. Without a personal examination it is not possible to predict how you will do with lower eyelid fillers.

Treatment of tear troughs and lower eyelid bags
As you may have already realized if you ask 10 different surgeons you will get 10 different answers.

It is not clear that you have excess lower eyelid skin though. My preferred treatment for that is to surgically suture that protruding fat to the deeper cheek fat and then trim any excess off the superficial surface of that fat. That...

A well-performed Injectable Filler treatment may improve the appearance of your lower eyelid bags.
I read your concern and reviewed the photos you posted.
In my practice, the majority of patients with lower eyelid bags may benefit from an Injectable Filler treatment. Your lower eyelid bags are prominent since you appear to have lower eyelid grooves between your lid bags and your cheeks. Carefully placed filler into your eyelid grooves may improve the appearance of your lower eyelids by allowing the bags to blend into your cheeks.
Be sure your physician is experienced in the...

Under eye bags best treated with lower eyelid surgery
The photo, of your eyes, appears to show excess fat bags in all three of the lower eyelid areas. Lower eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) will remove these, I prefer the transconjunctival technique using an incision inside the lower eyelids.
