This all started after volume injection under the eyes (or so I thought). I had that dissolved, then later belotero injections helped significant for about 5 months. Now I recently had restalyne silk under eye area, which appeared to help for about two weeks but now seems to have exacerbated the situation. I wear my reading glasses all the time to help camouflage. I was wondering if volume in the apples of cheeks would help (I realize it won't correct, but maybe improve?) I'm 58 yrs old. Thanks so much
Answer: Malar Bags - Care with Fillers Thank you for your question. You have evidence of malar bags, given the presence of what appears to be swelling below the level of your lower orbital rim. Fullness here defines the region of the SOOF, or the malar bag fat pad, that for some people takes on fluid to generate the so-called bags. Fillers tend to exacerbate the problem. Certainly the filler above your orbital rim can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. However I find that if correction of malar bags is your desired goal, then an extended lower lid blepharoplasty proves to be very helpful. This can be better explained during your consultation during which I can share examples and the corrective surgery that has resolved similar issues for patients in my hands.

Answer: Under eye bags I am so sorry to hear about your bad experience with fillers. It's what I use on myself to treat my under eye bags but so much of the effectiveness is going to depend on placement. For now, I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to be assessed in person. Lasers could help bring down the swelling around your eye, but I still thing that filler is going to be your best bet for correcting the issue. My best,

Answer: Correction An in person examination is necessary to see if the irregularities of your lower eyelid can be corrected with a conservative lower eyelid blepharoplasty. It may be beneficial to wait until the fillers dissolve prior to proceeding.

Answer: Dark Circles, Eyelid Wrinkles/Bags Treatment -- Restylane or Belotero with Cannulas, Clear+Brilliant, Eclipse Micropen, Viva you need less filler and more lasers and RF treatments. I suggest reversing your fillers and starting venus legacy treatments to help get rid of the swelling. Once gone, you should start fractional lasers and do very small non inflammatory fillers (belotero, voluma) but in very little bits over time. Best, Dr. Emer.
