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 .
Unfortunately, there is not an injection available that can remove under eyelid bags. The best method to address under eyelid bags in surgery, termed a lower blepharoplasty (bleph-a-row-plas-tea). As you search the internet you may read about such injections or even creams or other solutions, but there are none that actually work and are FDA approved.For some patients with under eyelid bags, a filler (such as Restylane or Belotero) can be used to fill in the groove below the bag in order to camouflage the bag, but it only camouflages that bag it does not remove the bag, and not all patients are good candidates for this approach.The attached link provides more information.I hope this helps.
There are gel fillers that can be injected below the eyelid bags to smooth the transition form eye bag to cheek. This is essentially camouflage and can certainly help. Removal of the eyelid bags requires removal and that's not something that can be done by injecting a filler. That can be achieved by surgically removing the fat and or tightening the lower lid skinGood Luck!
There is no safe way to remove the eyelid bags without surgery. So if someone tells you they have an injection to remove the fat, do not do it. There is something called Lipodissolve which has been used in other parts of the body to "dissolve" the fat. It can create long term edema when used around the eyes, and might create scarring or an uneven appearance. You can use the HA fillers which help to smooth out the appearance of the area so you don't see the bags. Get a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon who can go over your options.
There are fillers (hyaluronic acids like Juvederm and Restylane) that can help camouflage those bags, but the actual protrusion is caused by weakening and stretching of the lower eyelid tissues, allowing the normal fat pads to cause that tired look and dark circles. Fluid and swelling can also play a role in the development and worsening of these bags.Surgical treatment of these bags is called blepharoplasty, and involves lifting the skin and muscle, removing a portion of the protruding fat, repositioning the remainder, and then tightening the eyelid skin and muscle for a smoother, refreshed look.Trying to both tighten skin and remove fat via injection is folly, though small amounts of fat can be removed via the inside of the eyelid (still surgery) and the skin tightened via laser resurfacing or chemical peel (this is often called the "incisionless lower eyelid surgery" but what it really is is a subconjuctival fat pad removal and laser skin resurfacing."Dissolving" the fat via mesotherapy or lipodissolve will leave loose skin (deflated bags) plus there is the risk of injecting caustic chemicals around the eyeball (not recommended under any situation, IMHO).You need consultation with one or more AABPS-certified plastic surgeons experienced in blepharoplasty surgery.

There is not an injection to remove under eye bags, but there is an injection to improve their appearance. A hyaluronic acid filler can be injected just below the bags to help camouflage them. The only way to directly address the issue of fat causing eye bags is to have surgery.
