Fillers or lower blepharoplasty?

User Avatar
stone80Apr 13, 2017

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?!
