For puffiness and sagging under the eyes, we often use Renuvion helium plasma radiofrequency energy to achieve incredible results and take years off of your appearance. Combining RF energy and cool helium plasma, the signs of aging (wrinkles, pigmentation, skin laxity) are improved in a ‘Nonsurgical Eyelid Lift.' The focused heating tightens and peels the upper layers of skin with extreme precision, leaving the surrounding area undamaged, smoothing and tightening the periorbital skin, and improving the overall skin quality around the eyes. It's an aggressive treatment, and the recovery time is longer than with other nonsurgical procedures, but the results can be life-changing.​ See an expert to determine if this is the best solution for you. Best, Dr. Emer

There are a few things you can do to address puffy eyes in the morning.  Be sure that you are getting adequate sleep and are well hydrated.  Sleep with your head slightly elevated.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Much more information is needed, such is a set up pictures of your lower lids, and your age. Try a low salt diet, and make sure your thyroid levels are normal. If you failed medical management, then consider a trans conjunctival lower blepharoplasty to remove the  fat bags creating the puffy look.
