Is a lower blepharoplasty my only option to address under eye bags? Would filler be an option? (Photo)

Question

Hi. I’m considering getting a lower blepharoplasty to address under eye bags and bags under my eyes when smiling. Would filler be an option for me or would it be necessary to have under eye skin removed with surgery? I’m 39.5 years old.

Hi @Gorgeous877408. Thank you for sending your photos-- you would be a great candidate for a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer. A lower blepharoplasty will address the herniated fat pads and excess skin under your eyes giving you a more refreshed and rested appearance. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

At age 39, eight trans conjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty can accomplish removal of the the eye bags in your lower lids with all the incisions placed on the inside of the eyelids. No external incisions are required.
