Is there a device/technique, whereby under eye bag fat could be melted away and the skin tightened?

It would be great for people like me who don't want to undergo a bleph procedure, if there was a device/technique, whereby under eye bag fat could be melted away and the skin tightened. I've seen ads for such techniques for "melting" fat in the abs, thighs, butt, arms. Perhaps there is such a device for the face and I just haven't seen it yet ?? Under eye bags consist of trapped fat so it seems this would be a good, non-invasive way of eliminating eye bags.

Vitamin C and calcium are perfectly fine to take just pressure agree. They do not promote any potential complications with your blepharoplasty procedure. Please make sure that you're operating surgeon is aware of these vitamins and get his or her opinion.

Different doctors will probably have different recommendations about this. I let patients drive and do non-strenuous activities such as walking or household chores as soon as the day after surgery. If the eyelids are so swollen that they reduce your field of vision you obviously shouldnt be driving.

You do appear to have a little extra skin on the left side.  You may still have some edema, but probably not too much at 3 months.  You should always wait about 6 months, and then you can consider having some extra skin removed.

You do have a little difference between the height of the creases - this is seen mostly from above or with the eyes a little closed.  In the picture straight on, there is little visible difference noted - and the left one still looks a little more swollen.  You may find that over...

You appear to have a ptosis of the left upper lid.  Because of this your left brow is higher as it elevates to try and open the eye more.  Your right brow stays at the same level, so you have some extra skin on this side.  See an oculoplastic surgeon so they can evaluate...
