I am seeking permanent treatment to get rid of my eye bags and dark circles. For as long as I can remember, I've had bags and under-eye circles which is hereditary. I am 33 years old. Wearing makeup to cover them only helps a little and creams does nothing. I'm tired of looking like a raccoon with puffy bags! Can transconjunctival blepharoplasty help me achieve this result? I am not interested in fillers. Please advise.
Answer: Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty for hereditary eye bags Thank you for your question. Both hereditary factors and aging can play a role in eye bag formation. Often patients at a young age can be bothered by contour irregularities in this area. Fillers can provide a temporary option. Surgery, specifically a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, can provide a permanent correction of the fat. I often perform the lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat transfer to avoid hollowing of the eyes. This can improve remove the fat pockets and create a smooth contour to the cheek. The darkened shadows that are caused by the depressions will be improved. If the darkness is in the skin itself it is possible this darkness may not be completely removed with surgery and other options can be provided. I would recommend a consultation to determine the best treatment option for you.

Answer: Lower eye procedures 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 or oculoplastic specialist to determine best corrective treatment plan.

Answer: Lower eyelid bags and treatment. Yes--a transconjunctival blepharoplasty will give you the result you want if you see a very experienced surgeon who can show you many patients who have had this surgery and look good after. Having done this for more than 35 years without any complication I can tell you this is normally a surgery without problems.

Answer: The answer very much depends on your actual examination. You do have fullness in an area that is commonly caused by herniated orbital fat. If this proves to be the case on examination, then yes, this can be very successfully managed with a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty. Typically it is best to preserve the lower eyelid fat and use it to help add volume to the top to the cheek. That maneuver is called an arcus marginalia release. The reason why it is necessary to examine you is that the fullness can also be caused by a prominent orbital rim. In that case, fillers are a much better option.
