My under eyes look hollow now when I smile. Before was no hollowness. Why have my under eye bags returned so soon? (Photo)

Question

One month ago I got Resytlane fillers for my hereditary undereye bags. The doctor mentioned the results would last for 2 years. It's been one month and my bags are more noticeable now. My face under my eyes looks hollow when I smile. Before this wasn't there. Will this go away? What is causing this? I am a 26 year old female.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photographs. It is difficult to determine what the problem is from your photographs. You should be evaluated in-person be an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for discussion of treatment options.Good luck,

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers combined with lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer
