What’s the cause of these sudden under eye bags at 25 years? (Photos)

Thank you for your question there are many things you can do to treat under eye bags, but a combination approach with nonsurgical treatments would give the most improvement: fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, Cosmelan peels and stem cells. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to see what is best for you and your goals.

Dark under eye circles can make you look tired and older than you are. I would use a combination protocol that includes topical Melarase creams first, followed by a combination of injectable fillers, fractional laser, and RF to blend out the eyelid hollowness and tighten the skin.

Hi there! 
Thank you for your question. There are many different factors that could cause eye bags to appear including the ageing process and environmental factors such as lack of sleep and stress. In terms of treatment options tear trough fillers may be an option. There may also be a component of lymphatic drainage to what you describe as water retention in the area can make puffiness look worse especially in the morning. With Tear trough treatment, dermal filler is carefully placed under muscle around the eye to reduce the appearance of under eye bags and dark circles. It is a great alternative to surgery and results last 9-12 months. If you are thinking of going ahead with treatment it is important you thoroughly research practitioners to make sure you find a highly trained and experienced injector.


Hope this helps!

Weight loss can cause volume loss in the face.  If they have come on suddenly they could be related to allergies.  Most times the cause is genetics.  The good news is they respond well to treatment with fillers.  This is performed in the office and the results last up to one year.  See an expert injector in your area to learn more.

Under eye bags can be permanently corrected with surgery or temporarily camouflaged with fillers (Restylane, Belotero, Volbella) which can also help nasolabial folds.There are great non-surgical options to fill in under eye depressions and hollowness. Using dermal fillers, a liquid eye-lift can be performed. A dermal filler such as Restylane would be placed in the cheek and tear trough to hide the depression or bag underneath your eye. 
Surgery would require a fat-repositioning lower lid blepharoplasty. In this surgical procedure, fat from the eye area is moved into the tear trough depression filling the actual depression. 
I hope this helps!
 

Thank you for your question about under-eye bags.
There are many non-surgical ways to tackle under-eye puffiness, lines, and/or dark circles.  There are some skin care products you can use.  Some laser treatments such as ErYag lasers can tighten skin under the eyes and help reduce fine lines.  Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) microneedling can also tighten the skin and help promote collagen production.  Finally, you can camouflage under eye bags by placing fillers such as Juvederm Vollure or Voluma, or Restylane Defyne in the area.   
To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Under eye fat bags develop as one ages but genetic has a lot to do with it too. It can develop as early as teenage years. Treatment is possible.

Hello and thank you for your question. As stated previously, genetics, lack of rest, stress, and many other factors affect the way we age, especially the face. Fillers, eye lid surgery, and other treatments may be beneficial to you, so consulting in person with a trusted surgeon would be your best option. Hope you get the results you are after!

There are many causes of eye bags. Genetics, diet, sleep, specific anatomy all have to do with it. If there are variations on your symptoms, meaning one day it is more swollen than other days then its mostly fluid retention. Try these things: 1. Cut down on salts preservatives 2. Sleep on your back 3. Avoid sleeping on your face. You need to be evaluated by an oculoplastic surgeon to find the best treatment option for you. Unfortunately a picture is not sufficient to determine the cause and treatment. For more information visit our website.

Thank you for your question! There are many possible causes including genetics, aging, fluid retention, salt retention, allergies, lifestyle, sleep, alcohol use, and unknown reasons.  In younger patients, the most common causes that I see are allergy, sleep, and alcohol use.  Allergies cause swelling around the eyelids that results in lower eyelid puffiness. You may notice that the area is worse after eating certain foods or at certain times of the year. In terms of camouflage options for a mild bag associated with a tear trough deformity/hollowness, my favorite option is a filler.  The filler is temporary and when placed deep and conservatively by an experienced injector, the risk of irregularity or migration is very low.  Fillers are great options for patients who aren't interested in the downtime from surgery and who want an immediate result.  The cost of a syringe of filler varies depending on your area but can be between $500-700+ depending on the type of filler.   I recommend a consultation with your primary care doctor to discuss possible underlying issues that can cause swelling/fluid retention in this area. I would wait to do any cosmetic treatments until evaluated by your physician. Best of luck!
