Does rhinoplasty help with under eye bags too?

Great question!  Unfortunately, a rhinoplasty will not decrease the show of your undereye bags.  Depending on how bad it is, you may need a formal blepharoplasty to remove that fatty tissue causing these bags.  If you have more volume loss, then facial fat grafting at the time of the rhinoplasty is a very good addition that I perform with most of my rhinoplasty procedures that will decrease the show of the undereye bags as wells as provide you with a more refreshed and youthful appearance.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai  @DrRogerTsaiBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well;..based in your question unfortunately rhinoplasty does not help with the pouch under the eyes, it only helps to correct or harmonize the nose.

A rhinoplasty will address the appearance of the nose, but will not change the appearance of your lower lids.  You may want to discuss with your surgeon if you are a candidate for lower blepharoplasty or fillers to the lower lid tear troughs. 

Rhinoplasty does not treat under eye bags however in the next few months following the surgery there will be some swelling at the transition of nasal sidewall to the cheek which might affect the aesthetics of that area temporarily.

Removal of eye bags involved a procedure called a blepharoplasty.  This can easily be done at the same time as your rhinoplasty.  These procedures are commonly combined.

Rhinoplasty will not help lower eyelid bags. However, a Lower blepharoplasty can be done with the rhinoplasty to remove the bags. 

No, a rhinoplasty procedure accomplishes making cosmetic changes to the nose, not the eyelids. A lower blepharoplasty procedure can accomplish removal of excess skin and fatty deposits creating the puffy look for the under eyes.

A rhinoplasty will not decrease your lower lid bags. They can be improved at the same time with a variety of different procedures including: fillers or micro fat grafts of the tear troughs, a lower lid blepharoplasty, a combination of procedures.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do and technically how to do it without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

The anatomy and structures of the lower eye lids will not be manipulated with a rhinoplasty.  You can do the correction of both at the same time but one will not affect the other.  Don't be surprised if you get swelling under your eyes after a rhinoplasty but this will return back to normal.Discuss both of these issues with your surgeon and find a good solution for yourself.Best WishesDr. Peterson

Well, generally spoken, no one positive effect of any rhinoplasty on your lower lid can be expected, becouse the rhinoplasty and the lower blepharoplasty (to repair your "under eye bags") work quite differently. Please let us know more details and send some pfotos (info@dr-tribull.de) to lern more about your particular case.
