Is there any laser treatment that can tighten my lower eyelids?

Question

I'm 5'2", part Asian, weigh 112-115. I've had lower eyelid surgery about 20 years ago. I was told by one doctor that I didn't have enough fat under my eyes to reposition the fat. Another doctor told me that he would just remove what I have, but I'm afraid of having hollow eyes. Do you accumulate more fat in the area with age? Should I wait to have the procedure to correct the bags? Is there any laser treatment that can tighten that area? Do filler work well?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

There are many options available to address the lower lids, but the one that is best for you requires an in person evaluation.  You can tighten the lower eye area and even improve bags with AccuTite/FaceTite.  Fillers are also an option to improve contours.  A lower blepharoplasty is the surgical option to correct your concerns.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

There is no yes or no answer to your questions.
Fillers can be an excellent option. If done on patients were good candidates by providers who have exceptional skill.
Fillers by themselves do nothing unless the provider has to skill to use the product well.
People typically do not increase the amount of fat in their lower eyelid, fat pads over time.
Typically what causes the aged appearance is the peri-orbital septum becomes a weak and allows Bulging of the fat pads.
I suggest having in person, consultations with senior board-certified, plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, or oculoplastic surgeons in your community to get a better assessment, and better understanding of treatment options.
Without including pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment.
Best,
