Hello! I’ve recently began to notice due to I think losing weight and also possibly genetics that my under eye bags are a lot more puffy and dark. No matter how much sleep I get or using ice to depuff and using eye creams; nothing helps with my under eyes. It seems I have a deep tear trough but I do not want filler. Are there any other options?

Answer: Under eye puffiness You would be a candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty with fat transposition. This would take your natural fat from under the eye and move it to the tear trough to give you a smooth transition from the lid to cheek. This is all done through an incision on the back of the eyelid so you would have no scar. Best to see an eyelid specialist.

Answer: Tear trough depression Thank you for your question. This is a very common concern. Unfortunately, filler is usually the first-line treatment for this region. A lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition would also be effective but requires surgery and downtime. Those are likely the two best options, and the decision really comes down to your comfort level. All the best. -Dr. P
