I am 21 years old and I have really bad under eye bags and puffiness and I guess you could say signs of aging and wrinkling... I've notice this issue for the past year and it seems to be getting more noticeable even with concealing and foundation trying to hide it. Should I look into some sort of surgical treatment, or is this some sort of product that might help some before deciding to go under the knife at such a young age?

Answer: Correcting Early Facial Aging Without Surgery Hi Cassie,The cahnges that yoiu are seeing in your face are part of the natural course of aging. Ealry in life, usually in our late teens, we start loosing fat around what doctors call the "periorbita," or the area around the eyes. Because of this fat loss and decent, we start seeing bags under our eyes and a less happy or tired look. At the same time the lower third of our faces becomes more heavy. Although many go straight for blepharoplasty surgery, This is not the correct initial solution in my opinion. the best solution is replacing the lost soft tissue in shapes that appear youthful and happy. In my practice I call this "Aesthetic Facial Balancing." I use high quality hyaluronic acid products such as Perlane or the bodies own natural fat. The most important part of this is not what filler is used but rather the aesthetic judgement of the person placing the fillers. However all fillers besides hyaluronic acid and autologous fat should be avoided because they actually cause further fat atrophy, facial scarring and further facial aging. The concept is to restore volume in a manner that leaves no stigmata of intervention. I even did this to myself in a minidocumentary on YouTube.Thoughtful placement of hyaluronic acid fillers will restore and balance your face and if done properly will deliver a more natural and beautiful result than even a perfect blepharoplasty.
