Answer: We do not "drain" the bag. Either you have misunderstood the service you are describing or someone is scamming the public. There are a number of ways of addressing these types of issues: Fillers, chemical peels and lasers, and lower eyelid surgery. I am not a fan of lower eyelid fat grafting although some on this forum do advocate this approach. Ultimately there is not substitute for a personal consultations with a surgeon who is very experienced in periocular aesthetic surgery. Your potential surgeon should do a very through assessment and take time to explain options, alternative, and likelihood of success, complications, and potential risks.

Answer: Bags under eyes There is no draining of bags under the eyes. Your photos show laxity of the skin and muscle layers of the lower lid as well as fat pad protrusion which in combination cause bags. I think after you are examined in person the recommendation will be to do lower blepharoplasty as your best and longest-term result.

Answer: Eyelid rejuvination There are no procedures to use a needle and aspirate the puffiness. The puffiness is fat prolapsing forward from under your globe (eyeball). There is fluid (extracellular matrix) between the fat cells, but you would be no more successful aspirating that than you would sticking a needle in a bowl of cream of wheat and trying to suck out the liquid there. Treatment options include fillers with hyaluronic acids (natural compound already found in your skin and reversible if you don't like the results), micro-fat transfer, and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). I would suggest seeing a well respected facial plastic or general plastic surgeon in your area who can guide you through the pros and cons of each option so that you can make an informed decision if you decide to move forward. All the best!

Answer: Puffy Lower Lid Correction An Exam would be required for best advice but a lower lid procdedure and a bit of filler of fat transfer is probably all you will need to look your best. Here is some general information: Of all the features on our faces, our eyes are the most prominent indicators of our mood, energy level, and youth. Sagging, drooping, or tired-looking eyes can make us look older than we really feel. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a plastic surgical procedure designed to improve the message our eyes send to those around us.Patients who would benefit from a blepharoplasty include those who experience:Excessive, sagging, or wrinkled upper or lower eyelid skin.Excess upper eyelid skin that interferes with vision.Loss of your natural upper eyelid creaseIf you have puffy pouches of fat in the upper or lower lids that create a tired or aged appearance.Orbital Rim Show: visibility of the bone under the eye sometimes contributing to a dark ring or shadowing.Normally, everyone has a small amount of fat around the eyes. If the quantity of fat increases or the local tissues stretch and weaken, the fat begins to bulge producing “bags.” Occasionally this bulging is seen in young patients and is an inherited family trait, and not a result of aging. These changes have a profound effect on one’s appearance giving a tired or haggard appearance. An attractive face with these early signs of aging can affect a patient’s self-image, attitude and sense of well-being.
