Under Eye Bag in One Eye What It Can It Be? (photo)

Rob3Mar 1, 2013
Hi about 8 years ago I got hit on my left eye and got a small cut under the corner of the lid. A few days my eye heeled from the bruising, though my eye seemed to be a little smaller than my right eye. I have an eye bag a bit bigger than my right. I am sure it has to do with the accident I never had this before and till now I still have it. I have been with the opto but my eye seems fine I can see and I have no problems but the eye bag. It looks like my eye got pushed up a bit. Can it be fix?

Thank you for the question. Do not be concerned about two procedures at once. They both will help your appearance, and likely will not conflict at full healing. Discuss this with your surgeon. Best Wishes Thomas Narsete, M.D. Austin, Tx
