Answer: Lower eyelid bags treatment options Thank you for the question and the photos. Basically, there are two options in patients with your situation: 1) fillers to camouflage the area; or 2) removal/repositioning of a small amount of fat. The former is non-surgical and quick with very little downtime; hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as Belotero or Restylane are used to camouflage the eyelid bag by evening out the contour and reducing shadow. If needed, a thicker filler such as Voluma or Radiesse can be used in the cheek to "support" the area. The latter option is surgical -- but in young patients with minimal skin excess, the recovery is generally quick. For many patients, a small amount of the excess fat can be removed or repositioned through an incision inside the eyelid. No external scars are made. Best of luck moving forward!

Answer: Treatment to help eye bags You appear to have some protruding fat causing the bags under your eyes. In general, this can be improved with lower eyelid surgery or a filler. I prefer using Restylane to this area for my patients. The filler can be placed just under the bags to help camouflage them but the result is fairly temporary. In some cases, the result can last a year or so with Restylane. The surgical result would be much longer lasting.
