I've had eye bags ever since I was a baby and no amount of makeup covers them. They're more on the red side, not really dark circles, and kind of puffy. I would like to get rid of them permanently. Nonsurgical is my preference but if that isn't recommended I understand. My main concern is blindness risk. Which procedure would be the best considering my age, and also has the least risk of blindness? Thank you.
Answer: Lower blepharoplasty Common reasons for lower blepharoplasty include tear trough deformity or pseudoherniation of the orbital fat. An in-person exam would provide a more accurate diagnosis, but preliminarily based on your photos it does appear you have pseudoherniation of fat creating "eye bags.” They should also be more prominent when you look up. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning will provide nice results and a better lid-cheek transition in this case.

Answer: Correction of eye bags and an 18-year-old patient Thank you for your question. I do see puffiness underneath her lower eyelids and dark circles underneath the puffiness. This often is inherited and patients with this issue often notice darkness under the lower eyelids even when they are young child.
