Tired eyes - what can I do? It doesn't go away (photos)

Question

My eyes got so tired after pregnancy. They look tired and the blue doesn't go away. What can be done to fix this? Natural remedies? Cosmetic procedures?

Timothy M. Greco, MD, FACS · Answer

Sleep will help! (Easier said than done for mothers, I know.) Filler to the tear troughs and an eye-brightening cream would help. For a long term effect, fat grafting and Co2 laser resurfacing to the lower eyelids would provide a beautiful result.

C. Blake Perry, MD · Answer

To improve your lower eyelids requires either surgery or filler. Surgery would be the permanent option that would transpose the fat from your lower lids to your tear trough to give you volume. This would get rid of the bag and give give you a smooth transition from the lower lid to the cheek. Laser resurfacing would also improve the skin texture and quality. Filler is also an option to add volume to the cheek/tear trough. Best to see an eyelid expert in your area.

Sanjib Tripathee, MD · Answer

Fat graft seems ideal treatment for your problem. Other option might be you can first try with dermal filler.
