I'm 25 years old and I have had baggy dark circles for my entire life. People are always asking me if I'm tired or upset and it drives me crazy. They only seem to "go away" in certain lighting. I am constantly aware of my sad looking eyes and I don't won't to be self conscious the rest of my life
Answer: Non-surgical eye bag treatment I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. Non-surgical options for under eye bags are usually the preferred treatment modality especially in someone as young as yourself. That being said, Under eye bags and dark circles are certainly a tricky area to treat. It is important to identify the cause before selecting a treatment plan. The causes of under eye bags and dark circles are usually multiple and include volume loss, increased pigmentation, increased vascularity, and fine lines and wrinkling. The options available to target these factors include fillers such as Restylane or Belotero, lasers for pigment and vasculature, and resurfacing, ultrasound, or radiofrequency for fine lines and wrinkling. Combination treatments will typically achieve the best results but they must be applied in skillful and experienced hands. In your particular situation, trying to even out naturally occurring imbalances takes a delicate touch. Please consults with a Board Certified cosmetic dermatologist with experience in these types of treatments. Hope that helps and best of luck!

Answer: Fillers Always best, I think, to start with the least invasive approach. Especially in someone as young as yourself. I like to use a bit of HA filler such as Restylane in the tear trough area to eliminate bags. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss.

Answer: FILLERS You may want to talk to a doctor to see if fillers may work for you. Maybe talk to them about Belotero, or what other fillers they recommend. this is something that you do not need surgery for unless it is necessary. Lower Blephs. The price for surgery starts at $3,500.

Answer: Eyelids , # eye bags #tiredeyes #blepharoplasty #fillers #Restylane Dear Mymic23Thank you for your question and photo!The lower eyelid for you would be best treated with surgery for a long lasting result. A combination of removing the puffy fat and addition of volume under the eye with micro fat grafting would give a nice change without the appearance of having had surgery.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: Dark Circles, Eyelid Wrinkles/Bags Treatment -- Restylane or Belotero with Cannulas, Clear+Brilliant, Eclipse Micropen, Viva There are many ways to treat dark circles, as well as under eye wrinkles and bags. It is important to note however, that the majority of times the cause for discoloration is genetic and due to the viability of the blood vessels below the skin. A combination approach is always needed to get the best results in this area and this includes: topical skin care, laser and/or radiofrequency treatments, and fillers if placed appropriately. All my patients are on topical lightening agents, typically a vitamin C serum product in the AM and a brightening agent and/or a vitamin A based product in the PM. Sun protection is essential.Resurfacing and tightening are essential. My patients get offered a menu of options, for which a combination gives the best results. Light salicylic acid peels help give textural and pigment improvement; nonablative lasers (Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant) can be used to tighten and improve fine lines/wrinkles and crepe skin; fractional radiofrequency devices (Sublative, Viva) are cutting edge and improve texture, tone, and wrinkles with very little downtime; radiofrequency with pulsed electromagnetic fields (Venus) are amazing for puffiness and bags, in patients who do not want eyelid surgery; appropriately placed fillers can replace lost volume, cover up the vessels and fat pads below improving the appearance -- patients should pick a well experienced practitioner to prevent complications such as Tyndall (blue discoloration) and irregularities, one that uses a cannula for injection will help give results with little bruising or swelling; microsecond Nd:YAG laser treatments (Laser genesis) has produced dramatic improvement in discoloration in some of my patients and is safe in dark skin types, similar to the radiofrequency devices. For lifting, ablative laser resurfacing such as co2 laser combined with monopoloar radiofrequency deep heating (thermage) give amazing results. The key is for a patient to see a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in all the latest devices and techniques so the persons goals can be met by a combination approach of individualized treatments and skin care. In some cases, those who smile and have crepe skin or under eye wrinkles, a small amount of neurotoxin (botox, dysport, xeomin) strategically placed in the lower eyelid skin can improve wrinkles dramatically and give the eye a more "open" appearance.
