Restylane for Eye Bags?

Question

Can Restylane work on eye bags ?

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @1987anon. Restylane and Belotero work great. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Some bags are caused by fluid swelling. Restylane won't help this. Other bags are caused by fat deposits and in this case the overall contour might be made more smooth if a concavity below the fat pad is filled out to make a straighter line on profile.

Hi,

	As a matter of fact, as I am writing this answer to you, I am waiting for a patient to arrive for her Restylane injections for her "tired" hollow lower eye area.

	Yes, Restylane is the product of choice to fill the hollows of the lower eyelids.  The area is very delicate and unforgiving so make sure to choose your injector most carefully.  Good luck and be well.

Dear 1987

	It very much comes down to your own personal situation.  How big are the bags?  How good is your skin quality.  What is your tolerance for having surgery vs. your preference to avoid surgery.  As you can image, each persons situation is a little different, so what it best for one person may not be ideal for you.  A thoughtful, personal approach based on an individual personal consultation with the surgeon is generally the best way to figure these things out.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Eye bags can mean fatty pockets that are herniated or even malar edema.  Hard to say without an exam. Fillers may camouflage the fatty bags a bit, and can make the  malar edema worse.
