How can you tell, whether is water retention, fat deposits, hereditary, lack of sleep is there some test to see what is what is sitting under your eye that is causing this??
Answer: How can you tell if it's really fat what hiding under your eye lids? Fat below the eyelids is contained in two compartments in the upper eyelid, and three compartments in the lower eyelid. After ruling out a history of allergies, or medical conditions that can lead to swelling around the eye then it's possible to proceed with cosmetic eyelid surgery.Excess fat can be removed during a blepharoplasty procedure. In the upper eyelid the fat is removed after excising the excess upper eyelid skin. In the lower eyelid the fat is removed by making an incision inside the lower eyelid. This allows access to the three fat compartments as needed. Lower eyelid skin can be removed if needed by performing a pinch blepharoplasty. This uses an incision directly under the lower lid lash line to remove excess skin. Overall, blepharoplasty incisions heal very well and it's very difficult to determine that someone has had a surgical procedure the patients are left looking more youthful and refreshed.

Answer: Lower lid bags: fat vs. fluid vs. other The short answer is training and experience when examining a patient. Fat behaves differently that other things. Location matters too. Best to see an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.

Answer: You really just need a detailed clinical examination. This assessment is part of a detail oculoplastic consultation. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a regional directory on their website that can help you identify a highly qualified surgeon close to home.

Answer: How can you tell if it's really fat what hiding under your eye lids? There is no reliable test that you can do at home. An examination including taking a medical history would be the best way to determine the cause of your concern.If it concerns you enough to do anything about it, I would suggest that you find a plastic surgeon that you are

Answer: Tired Eyes Thank you for your question. As you indicate, there are many reasons to have puffy, tired looking eyes that range from allergies, sleep deprivation, heredity to aging and fat prolapse. The most helpful way to evaluate this would be to see someone in consultation who can evaluate your eyes and tell you about your options. But to answer your question, do your under eye bags go away after a good night's rest (such as on the weekends)? If they do not satisfactorily vanish, its probably not due to lack of sleep. Allergies can also be a contributor, so if you have allergic symptoms (runny nose, itchy eyes, etc.), then you should look into treatment for this of course. I hope this can at least get you started, but once again, there is no substitute for a consultation with someone who is an expert in this field. Good luck and all the best!
