Hi. I've been on 3 consults regarding lower eye bags .One Dr said blepharoplasty, and the other 2 said I'm young (37) and I'd be happy with fillers, and hold off on surgery. Not sure what to do. Don't want fillers to cause more attention to bags?!

Answer: Fillers for lower eyelids Fillers to help appearance of lower eyelids should not be placed into the protruding part of the lower eyelid but in the hollow area below it. Without photos it's hard to say exactly what you need. Surgery will have a longer lasting effect when you are young, but if you are worried about permanency fillers usually are completely reversed and gone in about a year, so you could always do filler and punt the decision down the road. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. It is not possible to advise you without quality photos. In general someone as young as you will benefit greatly from gentle filler injections such as Restylane Silk or similar. Sometimes a skin resurfacing treatment provides a great deal of improvement while being much less invasive than a blepharopalsty. You should find a surgeon you trust who offers a full range of options. Together you can make an informed decision. Good luck!
