I'm 52, btw, so likely in need of upper bleph, but could I improve the one bag non surgically for the time being?
Answer: Volume loss or excess? If you truly have a prominent fat pad of your lower eyelid (difficult to tell from the photo), then the only solution is a lower blepharoplasty. Filler will not solve your problem and only look worse. However, it appears that you have both a fat pad (volume excess) and a tear trough (volume loss). In this case, I recommend lower blepharoplasty first, then 6 weeks or more later after the swelling has resolved, filler to the tear trough.

Answer: Blepharoplasty This is a common question. Upper eyelid hooding can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your unique anatomy as well as what exactly is bothering you.

Answer: Eyelid improvement Correction of lower eyelid concerns can be achieved through surgical and non-surgical treatments. Options are dependent on the anatomy of the individual, as some patients will not benefit from non-surgical treatments despite trial with dermal fillers. We recommend an in office evaluation where you and your provider can determine the treatment option best for you.

Answer: Lower eyelid bags The answer this question depends on how much of an improvement you are hoping for. I notice a significant discrepancy between your right lower lid and your left lower lid. Some filler on the left could soften the area slightly, but it would not be near the appearance of your right lower lid if overfilled could look puffy and unnatural. Surgery would be a great option to address your eyelids.

Answer: Treatment of under eye bags You have some puffiness under both eyes, but it is worse on one than the other. This issue is caused by fat that is protruding under the skin. Lower eyelid surgery could be done to directly address this protruding fat and would produce the longest lasting results. It is possible that a filler could be used to be placed under the puffy area to try and camouflage it. This would be the non-surgical option.
