45, female - under eye bags. Is eyelid surgery the best option for me? (Photo)

wonluv80Sep 27, 2025
45 year old female that has always been self consious of the bags under my eyes. My main issue more now that im older are the rings of death or the bag line. The skin is very thin and a little crepe. Im hesitant to get the fat pads reduced just to have the same rings but maybe hollowed instead of buldging and then need to fill the area. I would love some feedback and if possible a dx that is close that feels confident with my issue. When I was 21 I had a doctor do fat repositioning - it did not change the look of my 21 year old bags. Recently I have tried morpheus 8 and biofiller made up of my own plasma to try and make things look better. There has been little success.

A photo with your face in repose would have been more helpful for evaluating your issue. However, a robust HA volumizing filler works very well for addressiving cheek volume loss and restoring a more feminine, heart-shaped oval face. It usually secondarily improves the under-eyes, as well....

You would be a good candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty with fat grafting or fat transposition. This surgery would remove the “bag” from the lower lid and give a smooth transition to the cheek. In my opinion, surgery is the best way to address the issue.
