I've asked doctors and they say the bags under my eyes is not sagging skin, its fat pads protruding out. Would fillers smooth out that area? Which is better, restylane or juvaderm? What would you suggest? (Later in life I will get a lower blepharoplasty but for now I cannot afford it) I am 18 and Hispanic if it's any help.

Answer: Which filler for under eye fat If there is excessive under eye fat, it can be reduced with laser or surgically removed. For many people, surgery is not a great option or a wanted option, and so the fat can be "hidden" to some degree with a filler in the tear trough below the fat pad which blends the fat into the cheek below with less contrast. Restylane is my preferred filler in this location, though others like Juvederm and Belotero are also good. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Answer: Fillers for under eye bulge The fat beneath the eye can be masked by injecting any of several hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero) beneath the fat in the tear trough area. Radiofrequency (laser-like energy device) treatment, Thermage or Exilis will also often improve the appearance of this area, and may be used in conjunction with the fillers.
