Are eye bags and fat deposits the same thing? Seen 3 doctors 1st doctor says its fat deposits, need lower eye lid surgery. 2nd doctor tells me eyelid surgery is no good cause later on I will have a hollow look. 3rd doctor tells me I am a good candidate for Radiesse. I have no IDEA what to do. Every had a different solution. I prefer not to have eyelid surgery cause If eyelid surgery is my solution then l definitely go with that. Don't want to spend that kind of money if it's not necessary.

Answer: Lower eyelid bags I greatly appreciate the pictures. It appears that you have some fat beneath your right lower eyelid and minimal fat below the left lower eyelid. I definitely would not recommend Radiesse or any other filler in that area. Only a physical examination would determine if surgery is appropriate.

Answer: Treatment of Lower Lid Bags Lower lid bags are typically caused by accumulation of herniated orbital fat. This condition is surgically treated with lower blepharoplasty. In patients with mild herniation, dermal fillers such as Belotero, can be used to fill around the area allowing the lower lid to appear smoother. This procedure is popular for many who wish to avoid surgery. Volume loss, causing a tear trough deformity, can also give the illusion of lower lid fullness. This condition can also be addressed non-surgically with fillers. I would not suggest using Radiesse in the lower lid region, this filler can lead to contour irregularities in this delicate area. I would suggest consultation with a board certified surgeon specializing in facial rejuvenation to go over all your options, minimally invasive and surgical. Good Luck!
