Is it normal to have under eye bags after laser round the eye area?

If your laser procedure was performed recently, as the other doctors have explained, the procedure itself can cause temporary swelling. This should resolve within one month. some people are more prone to swelling in the eye region – especially if there were festoons prior to your procedure. Sometimes topical steroid cream, or systemic medications such as steroids or diuretics can be helpful  in reducing the swelling more quickly. 
Another reason for bags after a laser to the eyelids  is the presence of underlying contour problems from the outset. If you had a depression below your eye – (the tear trough) -  or fullness below your eye – (prolapsed orbital fat) -  then a laser procedure is not going to solve that problem.  Only surgery  or volume augmentation can address underlying contour problems. Sometimes a laser procedure can accentuate the contour abnormality because it came appear more prominent relatively speaking because the skin is smoother. 
 Bottom line: consult with your laser provider further to understand your current anatomic state. Good luck!

The eye bags you are seeing may be from swelling.  The laser causes swelling which can mimick eye bags.  I would apply some ice to the area, keep your head elevated and contact your doctor if they don't improve.

It could be that you have some swelling after your treatment, which should resolve in a few days. Venus legacy treatments can give improvement. For under the eyes, I like a combination approach with lasers, microneedling/prp, and fillers. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Laser resurfacing (whether ablative or non-ablative) and even YAG laser for periocular veins can all cause swelling of the eyelids, and it depends how aggressive the treatment was and what type of treatment modality.  The swelling can last about a week to as long as several weeks, and it typically comes down the quickest over the first week or two and then may taper off gradually over the next couple weeks.
Icing for the first few days, keeping your head elevated, arnica supplements, or even a short course of steroids (if very dramatic) can help the swelling come down quicker.

Thank you for sharing your question. In the immediate post-treatment period, there can be lower eyelid swelling following laser procedures. Later, there should be no increased formation of eye bags. If you are having a problem, see an experienced, board-certified Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options. Good luck,

If your laser treatment has been recent then it is probably a result of swelling after the procedure.  Keep your head elevated above the level of your heart and use cool packs intermittently.  Consult with your laser specialist if it persists.

Thank you for your question.  Eye bags after laser to the area is typically due to swelling.  Apply ice and follow your doctors post-operative instructions.  Best wishes. 

Thanks for the great question. In almost all of the patients I treat with a laser they do get at least some swelling underneath the eyes. This swelling usually is the worst for the first 2-3 days after treatment. Sleeping with your head elevated will help it resolve faster. I don't think you are able to make a fair assessment of your under eye circles for at lease 1-2 weeks after treatment once all of the swelling is gone. Best of luck and congratulations on your treatment.~Dr. Sieber

Dear Dana
Thank you for your question. 
Seriously don't worry. A bit of swelling for a week or so is quite normal after treatment in the area. 

The bags you are most likely seeing under your eyes is due to swelling from the actual laser procedure. The laser causes swelling, which can in turn puff out the lower part of your eye. Applying ice to the area can subside the swelling, but if it does not improve in a few days, I recommend you see your physician.
