I had a lower blepharoplasty 5 months ago for under-eye bags. The eye bags are still there and neither my husband nor I notice any difference at all. The oculoplastic surgeon told me that she only removes the fat that comes out easily. Unfortunately, very little came out easily and now she said she can only offer filler. Could there be another reason for under-eye bags? Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer: Help for residual lower eyelid bags. If you do not have other eye problems from surgery, I would recommend a transconjunctival approach with fat repositioning to both reduce the remaining bulging, and fill the infraorbital hollowing below the lid. I feel this is a better solution for the long term.

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty Did Not Help Dear FightnTrojans, An in office examination would be needed to provide a proper diagnosis. However based on your photos alone if you were my patient I would perform and endoscopic browlift to put your brows back to their pre-aging position and a transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty with repositioning to address your lower eyelid bags. This combination procedure is done with no tell tale signs of surgery as the incisions are in the hairline and inside of the lower lid. This would provide a nice natural youthful appearance. I would not suggest using filler in the lower lids for your particular concern. See examples in the link below and these combined procedures in the video attached. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
