Is there an injection to remove the under eyelid bags?

Question

non-surgical procedure......for removal of lower eyelid bag

Mathew A. Plant, MD, FRCSC · Answer

It is difficult to give specific advice without a photo or a consultation but in general the only way to truly address these is with a blepharoplasty, which can remove the excess fat that is responsible for eyelid bags. A filler such as Juvederm or Restylane could be used to camouflage them by injecting the tear trough but this could result in a puffier appearance to your cheeks and lower eyelids and would have to be done on a regular basis as these fillers are not permanent. Its best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon who can offer both injectables and surgery to see what they think after examining you in person. Best of luck

Thank you for your question about eye bags treatment. Pictures would be helpful.Injectable fillers in the tear trough area can be helpful to correct lower eyelid bags.To be sure, see two or more 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 these treatments.I hope this helps.

There are currently no injectable drugs that are legal for use in the United States which dissolve fat.  A product is expected later this year which will dissolve fat when injected but it has only been tested in the neck.  It has not been tested in the eyelids nor would I recommend using it in the eyelids.  Injectable fillers can sometimes camouflage lower eyelid bags but fillers do not dissolve the fat which causes the bags

Removal of fat in a controlled fashion requires a surgical procedure.  However many individuals find that hyaluronics acid fillers can blend the under eye bag.  This treatment is temporary but benefits can last up to a year.  Very lower eyelid varies so there is no substitute for an actual examination.

You may want to talk to a doctor to see if fillers may work for you. Maybe talk to them about Belotero, or what other fillers they recommend. this is something that you do not need surgery for .
