Can Fat Under Eyes be Removed Without Surgery?

To achieve best results, you should have a consultation with an eyelid surgeon to discuss the effectiveness of a nonsurgical approach. Only surgery can get rid of the hoods from the upper eyelids. The procedure can be performed within 45 minutes and appear healed in 2 weeks. If the fat bags in the lower eyelids are mild, then fillers can be used to augment the cheek volume and conceal the appearance of the bags. Fillers are relatively inexpensive, but will have to be repeated in about a year. I hope you find this helpful.

Fat under the eyes cannot be removed without surgery, however there are some non surgical treatments that may improve the appearance.  See an expert injector in your area to see what options are best for you.

Thank you for your question about eye bags treatment.  Fillers are often an excellent choice for the treatment of the lower eye bag area, but filler only camouflage the appearance of these bags...and eventually surgical intervention may be necessary.  Filler cannot be used to minimize excess upper lid fat or skin. It is vital that you are seeing a seasoned professional for this area of the face.  If the filler is placed incorrectly it can make the prominent eye bags even worse.  The use of a cannula in this area can minimize bruising and the risk for vascular compromise.  
To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps. 

There are some non-surgical treatments that help with the appearance of fat bags.  These include some laser procedures or injectable fillers.  There is no substitute for surgery, however. Excess bags are often not caused by just fat alone.  They are often a result of some connective tissue of the lower orbit that weakens and causes normal fat to bulge.  Surgical manipulation of this membrane can help blend the appearance of this area and reduce the prominence of the eye bags, without appearing "sunken in"

So we cannot remove the fat without surgery. We can camouflage it though. This can be very successful with fillers and fat transfer. To tell you the truth the paradigm has shifted. We (as surgeons) are not removing as much fat as we once used to. This is because we have learned that 20 years down the road people end up with a hallow and aged look. 

So now even when we do surgery it is more of a re positioning of the fat than removal. With fat transfer we can camouflage this transition point. 

It is all about the balance of this transition from the orbit to the cheek. There are many ways to treat this and they vary by the underlying cause. I recommend seeing a surgeon who also does a lot of these treatments. This can make a big difference as most people have a combination of the above that lead to the issue.

Hope this helps.

Best of luck,
