Other than surgery, are there any products or lasers on the market to target the under eye puff and bags?
Answer: Fillers may help for eye bags It is difficult to give specific advice on "eye bags" without an examination. Bags usually come from the fat around the eyes protruding which can be either inherited or come on with age. If there is a hollow area beneath, called a tear trough, it can be filled with an injectable such as Restylane. However, the skin in this area is very thin and patient selection is important. The best treatment is usually surgery to either remove the excess fat or take the extra fat and move it to adjacent hollow areas. This latter procedure is called fat re-positioning.

Answer: Puffiness and bags For eye bags and hollowness, fillers would be suitable. Fillers add volume to smooth out the area. For general wrinkles and crepey skin, fillers, laser skin resurfacing and Botox can help depending on the location. For puffiness, this would need to be examined. If the puffiness is caused by bulging fat, then surgery would be probably be the most suitable option.

Answer: Injectable fillers are wonderful for lower eyelid rejuvenation. The appearance of bags in your lower eyelids is usually due to a groove that forms between the lid-bag, and cheek. By placing Injectable Fillers in the lower eyelid groove, you can camouflage them and dramatically improve your appearance. I've attached a link demonstrating a photo using Silikon-1000 to permanently reduce the appearance of lower eyelid bags. I hope this is helpful, and best regards.

Answer: Possible Alternatives for Eye Puffiness and Bags Thank you so much for your question! Eye puffiness as well as eye bags, while they may look unsightly, could be improved. That said, it is important to always be careful in using products or undergoing treatments to fix them. Now, depending on the severity of the puffiness or the bags, various treatment plans can be executed by a board certified plastic surgeon. If your puffiness or bags are not severe or just starting out, you get good results with topicals although these may not last long or will not totally eradicate the issue – only improve it minimally. Topicals also do not help in eradicating the root cause. Should your puffiness or bags become severe, the best option would be surgery. So, if you are looking to improve such puffiness or bags, do consult a board certified plastic surgeon and have the puffiness evaluated. After assessment, he or she will be able to guide you in deciding which best solution to solve your issue. Hope this helps!

Answer: Lower eyelid rejuvenation options
You would be a candidate for a lower eyelid blepharoplasty. If you have herniation of orbital fat causing bags of the lower lids with lack of soft tissue fullness. These features can be corrected with a lower eyelid blepharoplasty. If the condition is only lose skin then you may want to consider SmartSkin or SmartXide microablative fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing. A consult would be needed to advise you which procedure would meet your expectations. Other choices would include soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm.
