Age 48, alternative to lower blepharoplasty for mild/moderate lipotosis? (Photos)

Considering your chronic dry eye condition and your goal of addressing moderate lipotosis/eye bags, a non-surgical option that may yield the best and longest-lasting results is under-eye dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers can help add volume and smooth out the appearance of under-eye bags. They are injected into the targeted areas to provide a more refreshed and rejuvenated look.

Dermal fillers can effectively address hollowing and depressions under the eyes, reducing the appearance of bags and improving the overall contour. The results can typically last anywhere from six months to 10 years (Renuva), depending on the specific filler used and individual factors.

It's important to consult with a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience with under-eye treatments and can assess your specific condition. They will be able to evaluate the extent of your lipotosis/eye bags, discuss your treatment options, and recommend the most suitable approach based on your individual needs and concerns.

Additionally, it's essential to disclose your chronic dry eye condition to the practitioner performing the treatment. They can take the necessary precautions to minimize any potential risks or complications associated with your specific condition.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
