Asked By:Gregarious670292 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hello! I am 27, have had very deep tear trough since I was a child. My lower eye bags have always bothered me. I know tear trougha are a tough area for doctors. I am not willing to get traditional filler. I got quoted at 12k for a lower bleph. I’m curious what yalls opinions are. Are my eyebags and tear trough bad enough to justify surgery? Or do you think I can improve it non surgically? Was thinking sculptra, or prp/prf. But worried that might be a waste of money and not really do anything. My eye bags themselves don’t bother me much, but this deep tear trough line really bothers me. Any advice or personal experience appreciated. (I have heard horror stories of tear trough filler and fat transfers, let Me know if you have any experience with these)
