I'm 35, and have recently noticed a dramatic downturn in the way my face looks. I now have really bad double eyebags under my eyes. I've attached two photographs here - one from straight on, and one from slightly above. Realistically, what would the best treatment options be? And how long would each of them typically last? Sorry the photos look a little creepy! I was out hiking, and thought it would be a great place to get a photo in natural, unforgiving light! Many thanks!
Answer: There is no substitute for You need an actual examination where the doctor actually physcially examines the projection of the orbital rim and how your herniated orbital fat drapes this area. A consultation from the door of the consultation room is not going to cut it. There are three basic options here with numerous variations. The first is chemically peeling the lower eyelid skin with phenol 89% which would help tighten the lower eyelid skin holding the orbital fat back. The second options is transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with arcus marginalis release. This transfers the herniated orbital fat into the top of the cheek solving the lower eyelid fullness and the relative hollow at the top of the cheek. I would not recommend a transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty. This will wipe out your orbicularis muscle roll just below the lower eyelid lashes. You may not like this now but you will not appreciate this feature being wipe off your face (think Rene Zellweger). The key is less is more. You want what makes the most sense for your features and for your comfort level.

Answer: Treatment for lower eyelid bags: Thank you for sharing your question and photos. Under eye bags can be improved with injection of dermal fillers for mild cases (Restylane is the best) or through surgery in more severe cases. It is difficult to judge the degree of buldging in your case. Please see an experienced eyelid surgeon in person for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options.Good luck,
