Are these even eye bags? Does it qualify for a blepharoplasty?

Question

Hi, I am 26 years old and I've had these lines under my eyes since childhood. But of all the images I have checked online, I found no blepharoplasty image where the before were like my eyes. Would anyone be knowing the condition or type of my eyebags? Does it qualify for a blepharoplasty?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

If the bulging roll under the eyes is the issue, this is a hypertrophy of of the muscle beneath the eyes and it is called the pretarsal or "jelly" roll. A microdroplet or two of Botox into the belly of the muscle is all that is usually needed to shrink the bulge. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified dermatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.
