Doctors please give me some news!! I have deep hollow bags under my eyes. Cannot afford under eyelid surgery. Is there any type of injections I can have injected to get rid of these deep ugly bags that are sunken in. I look like a raccoon under the eyes. Please help me. I need to bring life back to my face rather than look tired.
Answer: Under eye fillers in the form of Restylane filler. Unfortunately, fillers are also expensive and their maximal clinical fades after about a year. More filler would then be needed to restore the volume again. For this reason, in the long run, you don't save any money choosing fillers as an alternative to surgery. No question though you, you can get immediate benefit at a fraction of the cost of lower eyelid surgery right now.

Answer: Eye bags I WOULD TRY FILLERS BEFORE GOING IN AND DOING SURGERY , THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT TRANSFER AND FILLERS ARE FILLER ARE LESS INVASIVE AND CAN LAST 6-9 MONTHS SOMETIMES UP TO A YEAR DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES. FAT TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY SURGICALLY DONE WITH LIPO AND TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER AREA OF THE BODY. A FAT TRANSFER CAN ALSO BE DONE THROUGH A LOCAL AFTER SURGERY FOR A REPEAT FAT INJECTION. FAT INJECTIONS OR TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY MORE PERMANENT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT IN A CONSULTATION AND SEE WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.

Answer: Help with ugly sunken, hollow deep under eye bags! Thank you for your question and images. You look like a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery. I understand that you are concerned about the costs and although fillers may sound cheaper at first you will be surprised at the costs over the long term. Your eyelid bags are well defined and relate to herniation of the middle and medial lower eyelid fat pads. Thus can be significantly improved through an invisible lower eyelid incision. My advice would be to discuss your concerns with a plastic surgeon and add up the differences between the two treatment methods. You may be well surprised.RegardsDr Guy Watts

Answer: What to do for lower eyelid bags, darkness and hollowing Thank you for sharing your question. The treatment of choice in your case is having blepharoplasty performed. You might get some improvement with the injection of dermal fillers, but this can only be determined by in-person evaluation. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of possible treatment options. Good luck,
