How can I enhance it w/my fat pads being like this? My eyebags are definitely genetic. My father has it. I want to enhance my lower lid muscle (ocularis). What is the best way that is not using surgery? Can enhancing it diminish the puffiness of my lower eyebag? Can I reposition my fat pad to make my ocularis plumper? Is it puffiness or hollowness?
Answer: Slightly prominent orbicularis muscle Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photographs. Botox injected into this muscle will stop the squeezing and protrusion of the muscle. Significant complications can occur with this technique, so make sure an experienced eyelid specialist assists you. Good luck,

Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles - Fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella); Lasers (Fraxel/CO2); Renuvion; Microneedling/PRP; Peels At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS 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 (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells 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. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fillers I WOULD TRY FILLERS BEFORE GOING IN AND DOING SURGERY , THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT TRANSFER AND FILLERS ARE FILLER ARE LESS INVASIVE AND CAN LAST 6-9 MONTHS SOMETIMES UP TO A YEAR DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES. FAT TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY SURGICALLY DONE WITH LIPO AND TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER AREA OF THE BODY. A FAT TRANSFER CAN ALSO BE DONE THROUGH A LOCAL AFTER SURGERY FOR A REPEAT FAT INJECTION. FAT INJECTIONS OR TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY MORE PERMANENT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT IN A CONSULTATION AND SEE WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.

Answer: Lower lid I suggest using a filler to your lower lid tear trough and maybe a small amount of botox to the lower lid orbicularis muscle. I would not suggest surgery at this time, but an in person consultation is the best way to determine this... Best of luck.

Answer: Treatment for lower eyelid fat pads From your two photos, there is some herniation of the lower eyelid fat pads, mainly medially (the ones closer to the nose). The definitive treatment is a blepharoplasty, which is the removal and/or repositioning of the lower eyelid fat pads. Either technique would improve the appearance of the hollow tear trough. Alternatively, the area can be treated with a dermal filler to camouflage the bulge and create a smoother contour. This treatment is temporary. See a specialist for a complete exam and to learn more about the treatment options for you.
