I am a 62yo female who has recently consulted with several cosmetic surgeons regarding my under-eye circles. Two doctors recommended a lower blepharoplasty, but two said a lower bleph wasn't necessary and that under-eye fillers (Restylane) would yield better results. I'm genuinely confused about which recommendation to follow.
Answer: Treatment for under eye bags Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photograph. Your bags have progressed beyond the point where injection of fillers would help. You require lower blepharoplasty at this point. Please see a board-certified Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation end guidance. Good luck!

Answer: Lower Eyelid Surgery May Address Under Eye Concerns Thank you for your questions and pictures! Horizontal eyelid wrinkles and sogginess can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. Based on the photos that you have provided, a lower blepharoplasty would benefit you over a filler option. A full examination would be required to provide definitive treatment options. 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: Lower blepharoplasty Common reasons for lower blepharoplasty include tear trough deformity or pseudoherniation of the orbital fat. An in-person exam would provide a more accurate diagnosis, but preliminarily based on your photos it does appear you have pseudoherniation of fat creating "eye bags.” They should also be more prominent when you look up. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning will provide nice results and a better lid-cheek transition in this case. @drdonyoo

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty or fillers? A lower blepharoplasty or fillers could both improve bags under the eyes in some people. The dark circles you see are caused by a shadow that is created by the puffiness above. The puffiness is caused from fat in your lower eyelids. A filler can be placed into the area below the bags to help camouflage the issue. This would normally be a temporary result, since most fillers that would be used in that area are not permanent. A lower blepharoplasty would directly address the excess fat and would provide a longer lasting improvement. It is also possible that you could try a filler first and then have surgery later, if you wished.

Answer: Age 62 with Under Eye Circles: Lower Blepharoplasty or Fillers? Fillers often can produce a nice temporary cosmetic improvement in some patients, but not all. They certainly do not achieve what a well performed blepharoplasty will do.
