I am 52 years old and I have bags under my eyes. One is worse than the other and I would like to know a nonsurgical way to get them to go away. I don't have any winkles and this is the only thing that gives my age away. Also being on a fixed income I would like to know how I can get rid of them the most cheapest way possiable. Can anyone advise of a nonsurgical solution?
Answer: Non-Surgical Way to Remove Bags The amount of fat herniation (size of the bags) will determine if there are any options other than surgery. For less prominent bags, a filler can be injected beneath the fat in order to level & blend the bag into the cheek. This should conceal the bag for about 9 months. Surgery may ultimately be required if you want a more permanent solution or if your bags are substantial. Consultation with an Oculoplastic Surgeon in person will better help to inform you of your options & treatment choice.All the best.

Answer: Eye bags Eye bags, dark circles and loose, wrinkly, or crepey skin under the eyes are really common issues talked about in consultation, as everybody gets some aspect of these as they age. There are numerous nonsurgical and surgical options for this, from a lower lid blepharoplasty to fillers and skin tightening via devices like laser resurfacing. What is going to be the best option for you will be dependent on your individual goals, needs an anatomy. With an examination and conversation, the best options for you will become quite clear!To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these “core four” cosmetic specialties.

Answer: Eye bags, circles and demarcations Yes for sure there are a handful of ways to treat bags without the scalpel. The biggest bang for your buck in my hands is fat transfer to the periorbital area. The reason I like this is because it is your own tissue. We are also finding that we are transferring stem cells which makes a different in the skin quality and texture. The price varies with the amount injected but we charge $900 per 1 mL. It is a good deal. If you get more locations we are able to work out specific pricing. I do have to admit that the results of a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat tranposition is probably the best and most successful treatment for this issue. Best of luck. DrC

Answer: Non-Surgical treatments often not long lasting. Thank you for your questions. Eye bags are caused by structural deformity of the fat around the orbit. When fat herniates through the membrane of the orbit, it creates unsightly eyebags. By far, the best treatment is surgery. Dermal fillers can help if the deformity is mild, but these dont last and the deformities come back. If cost is a problem, I would recommend doing nothing until you save the funds for surgery. As with most things, the cheapest method is not often the best. Best of luck to you! Dr. Pacella
