What are my options to improve my under eye area? (Photo)

Question

I'm 29 and my under eyes are aging me. I've heard good things about microneedling but mixed reviews about filler. I don't like my tear trough creases and am less concerned about the darkness but improving that would be nice too.

Hi, to improve your under eye area, fillers would be best option. For darkness and wrinkless tear trough filler would be corrected.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your photo it appears you would have nice results with filler.  The volume would disguise contour irregularities.  The results can be enhanced with other treatments such as chemical peels, lasers, and microneedling which can improve tone and texture.  We recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

surgery will be your best option but fillers, lasers, plasma pen and skincare will help.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (emerageskin roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now.

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 lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning 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 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.

Hi USA2021

Bleaching of the lower eyelid skin can be obtained by using skin lightening products such as hydroquinone in Obagi Clear or using the Forever Young BBL.  The most effective and most common method we use is the Forever Young BBL. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hello,From looking at the photos Under eye fat repositioning surgery will help to fix eye bags and makes the under eye area even by filling out other areas, such as the lacrimal groove, with the removed fat. There will be no visible scars after surgery since the incision will be made through the conjunctiva. You will have fresh, bright and more youthful result after the surgery.
