Do I have eye bags or fine lines under my lash line? (Photo)

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos you have extra skin both under and above your eyes. For get rid of this extra skin and gain more fresh and elegant looking I recommend you upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. Best Regards!

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused electrical plasma energy to tighten skin, producing small columns of energy just above the skin, allowing the skin to tighten to help improve wrinkles. This area will have 3-5 days of small “dots” that will then scab and peel, then the skin will tighter and brighter after. Numerous treatments are needed over lasers where only one or two give a bigger result, but more downtime. After plasma pen you NEED peels 2 weeks like later Cosmelan, enlighten or aerify, see emeragecosmetics (link). At home derma rolling should be started weekly even after plasma pen or lasers to further increase collagen, see emeragecosmetics AERIFY x anteagemd stem cell ampules. To properly heal you need light Stim red LED, EmerageSkin refit face, refit eye; AnteageMD serum, silagen silicone gel, jan Marini bioshield, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish, and EmerageSkin hyla b and AOX, and Sente dermal repair. Otherwise there is EXTREME risk of pigmentation issues and “dots” in the treatment area. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (AERIFY emerageskin roller with Anteage MD ampules) should be started now regardless for antiaging, sun damage, and wrinkle prevention. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning (if doing lower eyelid surgery) will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora, PiXel8 or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

From the photo, it looks like the muscle that responsible of closing the eye ( orbicularis oculi muscle) is hypertrophic (increase in size ) . I don't think you have "eye bags" or protruding orbital fat .

At least from the photo provided, there appears to be what have been called "jelly rolls" (owing their projecting, round rim puffy appearance, which, in fact, is hypertrophy of the under eye muscles. If this is indeed so, then the injection of microdroplets of Botox into the belly of the muscle can release the static tension and diminish the bulging--which, in turn, can improve the appearance of the entire under-eye area. You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

Your concern with the lines under your eyes appears to be hypertrophy of the underlying orbicularis oculi muscle. Very low dose neurotoxin (e.g., Botox) could be placed to relax that muscle - somewhere around 2-3 units. It must be done very superficially to avoid affecting motion of the eyelid or extraocular muscles.
