Answer: Eye bags when smiling Under eye bags and dark circles are certainly a tricky area to treat. It is important to identify the cause before selecting a treatment plan. The causes of under eye bags and dark circles are usually multiple and include volume loss, increased pigmentation, increased vascularity, and fine lines and wrinkling. The options available to target these factors include fillers such as Restylane or Belotero, lasers for pigment and vasculature, and resurfacing, ultrasound, or radiofrequency for fine lines and wrinkling. The wrinkling when you smile may be addressed with neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. Combination treatments will typically achieve the best results but they must be applied in skillful and experienced hands. In your particular situation, trying to even out naturally occurring imbalances takes a delicate touch. Please consults with a Board Certified cosmetic dermatologist with experience in these types of treatments. Hope that helps and best of luck!

Answer: Eyelid Bags and Puffiness There are several different ways to approach your condition. I would probably start with botox or xeomin injections to soften the wrinkling around the eyes. After that, fillers or surgery may be necessary to see continued improvement. Schedule a consultation with a board certified oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your goals. Good luck!
