Looking into alternative to surgery as I had quadrilateral blephroplasty in 2007 which made things worse. I had too many complications and had to hide away for 2 years after (swelling, bruising, dry eyes, eye lids not closing while sleeping, weepy eyes, eye bags looked bigger after the surgery etc). My eyes are finally back to normal, but the small bags under my eyes still persist. Have tried fillers already, I dont like the tell tale 'tide' filler leave behind. Help please, anything?

There are several major differences:
Thread is lifting under the skin in a loose fatty tissue level plane and SMAS is a tought fibrous layer able to better support facial tissues.

Thread facelifts, which have been dubbed the knifeless facelift, are a great way for you to be able to rejuvenate and tighten sagging and loose skin. A thread lift will allow you to have a more contoured, voluminous, and lifted face within a matter of weeks as the soft tissues are repositioned...
A variety of options can be used to address the problem you are experiencing including PDO threads. CoolSculpting to reduce fat if there are. In order to tighten and firm your skin, I would suggest combining Secret RF with Fraxel. Botox and fillers are also wonderful options when appropriate....
