I have noticed over the last 2 years that I have developed this puffiness under my left eye. It's not so bothersome now but I do notice it even after makeup is applied. I worry about how it will look as I age.
Answer: Under eye concerns Asymmetry of the area under the eye can occur for several reasons. Based on your photo it appears that yours is caused from fat protruding more under the one eye. We often treat this with fillers to try to even contour irregularities, but there are other options available. I would welcome you to our office in Houston for an in person evaluation if this is something you are interested in treating.

Answer: Young patient with lower lid bags Dear Stace,It appears that your starting to develop lower lid eyelid bags as a result of periorbital fat pushing forward into the lower eyelid space. This can make a person appear tired, sick and older even when they feel fine inside. Best to seek a surgeon in your area with a specialty in Oculoplastic Surgery.Options could include temporary fillers to camouflage the fullness there vs. surgery to remove or relocate the fat in this region.I hope this was helpful.

Answer: Puffy Eyelids Can be due to Allergies Eyelid puffiness can be genetic (your girdle that holds the fat behind your eye is weak), due to allergies or the first sign of the autoimmune disease like thyroid eye disease.

Answer: Why is one eye more puffy than the other? Hello Staceface_88,If you are starting to notice puffiness below one eye that is present all the time, this likely represents fat that is normally below the eye that is starting to push out. When it develops in younger patients, it is usually associated with genetics (thanks mom and dad), although the aging process can also bring it on. As you age, it will likely continue to become more noticeable. There are several ways to treat this including using fillers to camouflage and surgery to remove it. I would recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon to learn your various options. I hope this helps and good luck.
