Late 30s female with under eye bags. What is the best option for me? I am open to surgical or nonsurgical procedures (Photo)

Question

I am more interested in the inside the eyelid procedure. What is the difference between that and a traditional eye bag surgery?

Jessica Lattman, MD · Answer

Looking at your photos I would suggest a lower eyelid blepharoplasty.  This would remove the bags and also correct the wrinkles and excess skin.  I would suggest using the subcillary technique.  This would allow for a better result than a trans-conjunctival (TC) approach.  Of course, a comprehensive examination would be the first step.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The eyes are best treated with a combination approach of fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP for improvement. Ultherapy/thermage, venus legacy all do well for swelling or puffiness. I would suggest consulting an expert. If surgery is an option they will recommend. Best, Dr. Emer

Luis Villar, MD, FACS · Answer

Removing fat from behind the lid is reasonable because there is not a lot of excess skin.  But a careful exam is needed to determine if you have any fixable deformities when you animate that would alter the options.

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

The best, long term treatment option with natural results. is transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. A non-surgical alternative would be filler injection. See link and video below.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

In my office, I would encourage you to have a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with a lower eyelid chemical peel.  Seek several opinions before deciding on a surgeon.  I recommend finding an aesthetically oriented oculoplastic surgeon for this work.
