There are a variety of different options that can treat under eye bags depending on the specific patients needs and anatomy. Facial fillers can utilized to fill in eye hollows and are non surgical. By artistically filling the hollows to the point where it is at the same level as the most prominent portion of the "bag", the "bag" can effectively be made to disappear. Specific lasers and micro needling can also help improve the tone and texture in the area, but are generally less effective. Finally, a lower blepharoplasty, is a surgical approach that can reduce baggy eyelids by removing excess skin and protruding fat thus improving the appearance of the lower eyelids. I often transfer fat during the blepharoplasty to provide a smooth transition from the lower eyelid into the cheek to eliminate the dark hollow's or "tear troughs". I recommend going for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or oculoplastic specialist to determine best corrective treatment plan.

I suspect that you could do very well with a full face chemical peel including a somewhat more intense peel of the lower eyelid. This firms the lower eyelid tissues and helps even the area even without surgery. On examination, it may also be appropriate to discussed lower eyelid surgery options including no skin incision, arcus marginalis release surgery. The photograph is not ideal as you are looking down. Generally it is helpful to seek several opinions before deciding what makes sense for you personally.
Hello. Thank you for your question, and pictures. I would recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss which option or options will make the most sense for you. Examining your skin condition in person from all angles will produce the best recommendation. From your photo, you could be a candidate for a lower eyelid surgery, fat transfer, transposition or removal, as well as a laser treatment to improve the surface skin quality or fillers. With so many treatment options available for your concern area, you have great odds of resolving this area to your liking. I wish you the best.- Daniel Lensink, MD
