I'm a 23 year old female who has struggled with puffy and discolored under eye bags since I was a young child. I consulted a dermatologist about getting fillers when I was 17, but was told I was not a good candidate because my under eyes were already over-filled. He posited that my under eyes looked the way they do because of seasonal allergies and my flat cheeks. So, I'm wondering if lower eyelid surgery would help as opposed to fillers.

Answer: Puffy Lower Eyelids Thanks for sharing your question and posting your photos. You could improve the puffiness of the lower eyelids with blepharoplasty, but the dark skin will remain. The darkness appears to be from fine blood vessels immediately beneath the skin. These do kit get removed with surgery. Make an appointment with an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of potential treatment options. Good luck!

Answer: Filler Cheek Augmentation Can Help To Diminish Under Eye Bags & Tear Troughs Since the upper cheek area is a major physical support for the infraorbital region, volume deficit (as evidenced by the "flat cheeks") in this area constitutes a major reason for the the developement or worsening of the under eye bags, tear troughs, hollows and dark circles. The use of a robust HA filler appropriate injected into the upper cheek region can help to minimize this and would also, at the same time, provide the necessary volume to create a more heart-shaped, oval face--a kind of two for the price of one benefit. Be sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and ask to see his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.
