I am a 41 year old female I recently lost 25 lbs. Although I feel great, I am very unhappy with the changes in my face especially around my eyes. The troughs are bad! I look tired and sick. One side is worse than the other. What is the best treatment. I am interested in a fat transfer. What are my options?

Answer: Lower eyelid bags, dark circles after weight loss Weight loss causes loss of facial fat. However, it does not affect eye socket fat. The loss of facial fat causes the eye socket fat under eyes to stand out more. You may be candidate for lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning if there is enough bags/fat present. If there is more hollowness, then filler injection in the dark circles area would be better. See an oculoplastic specialist.
