Age 27, What injections/surgery could fix my under eye problem? (Photos)

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. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. #drdonyoo

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos you have dark circles and a little puffiness under your eye area. For get rid of this tired image and dark circles I can suggest lower eyelid blepharoplasty and fat injection to your under eye area. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Hi @madylina777. Thank you for sending your photos-- you would be a great candidate for a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer. A lower blepharoplasty will address the herniated fat pads and excess skin under your eyes giving you a more refreshed and rested appearance. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused electrical plasma energy to tighten skin, producing small columns of energy just above the skin, allowing the skin to tighten to help improve wrinkles. This area will have 3-5 days of small “dots” that will then scab and peel, then the skin will tighter and brighter after. Numerous treatments are needed over lasers where only one or two give a bigger result, but more downtime. After plasma pen you NEED peels 2 weeks like later Cosmelan, enlighten or aerify, see emeragecosmetics (link). At home derma rolling should be started weekly even after plasma pen or lasers to further increase collagen, see emeragecosmetics AERIFY x anteagemd stem cell ampules. To properly heal you need light Stim red LED, EmerageSkin refit face, refit eye; AnteageMD serum, silagen silicone gel, jan Marini bioshield, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish, and EmerageSkin hyla b and AOX, and Sente dermal repair. Otherwise there is EXTREME risk of pigmentation issues and “dots” in the treatment area. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (AERIFY emerageskin roller with Anteage MD ampules) should be started now regardless for antiaging, sun damage, and wrinkle prevention. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning (if doing lower eyelid surgery) will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora, PiXel8 or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photos. Since you are young and don’t show significant signs of aging, you don’t appear to require surgical intervention. You mentioned that tear-through filler didn’t provide satisfactory results, but this is generally a favorable treatment option for adding subtle volume and reducing the appearance of bags and lines around the eye. Keep in mind that while filler treatments are not surgery, they do require a great deal of skill and precision to achieve the best possible results. In my office, we use a micro-cannula to inject this area, which minimizes bruising and swelling and ensures the smoothest outcome.
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can review your concerns and injection history to determine the best treatment option for you.

I see a bit of excess lower lid fat that is bulging and results in the bubble appearance below your eyes resulting in the 2 lines you see beneath each eye. A transconjunctival blepharoplasty should help this along with a chemical peel to the lid at the same time to tighten the skin and improve texture and pigmentation.

Adding fat by microcannulamfat grafting is the best way to achieve a long lasting and natural result. You do not have excess fat so a blepharoplasty is not required. To optimize the results and not add too much you might need more than jnesession
But it is an office procedure that is only modestly more involved than filler. The problem with filler is that it is temporary and a small percentage of patients react with swelling ( fluid accumulation in the tissues) that can be very resistant to treatment.

Hello Madylina. Thanks for your question. You are a perfect candidate for Restylane injections under the eyes (see link). Because of your age and the fact that you do not have a lot of excess skin under the eyes, we would avoid surgery at this time. If you did not get a good outcome from the under eye injections previously, perhaps it is because the practitioner doing the work was not experienced in this particular area. It is one of the most difficult areas of the face to inject well. We prefer only Restylane in this area as it has the proper consistency and water absorbing properties.

An examination of you would provide the most information to give you advice about your under eye area, but just based on your photos, you appear to have some fullness that could be due to fat under your eyes. If this is the case, this issue can be addressed with lower eyelid surgery. In many cases, fullness under the eyes can be due to hereditary causes and not due to aging.

Since the upper cheek region acts as a major support for the under-eye area, when there is volume deficit in that area not only do the cheeks suffer, but the under-eyes, do as well, with the formation of tear troughs and bags, etc. The use of an appropriate robust, natural HA filler injected properly by an experienced injector can not only nonsurgically enhance a more feminine oval face shape, but can significantly improve the under-eyes, as well. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologists. Best of luck.
