I'm a 40 y/o woman with under eye puffiness/bags that have bothered me for years. The pictures attached were taken in the evening however they are much more pronounced in the morning. They're always present along with crepey skin. My mother has severe under eye bags and my grandmothers both had upper and lower blepharoplasties. Any suggestions before I make an appointment for fillers or surgery? Thank you!
Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles -- Fillers Belotero, Volbella; Fraxel/Halo; emeragecosmetics ENLIGHTEN/AERIFY/COSMELAN this needs surgery and lasers (see my link to recent IG post of exact treatment). at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fat transposition and skin treatment Fat transposition would work well for you in youth. Later fat removal may be necessary given your family history, the result will be enhanced with laser skin resurfacing. Good luck! Stay safe.

Answer: Do you have any suggestions for eye bags before I make an appointment for treatment/surgery? I would suggest a lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat transposition of the lower eyelid fat. This will eliminate tor significantly reduce the nasojugal groove, which is the depressed area below the lower lids. At the same time I would also suggest conservative skin excision of the lower lids. This should give you a very refreshed appearance. Good luck!
