I am a healthy, 42 y/o, AA woman who has been self-conscious about under-eye bags for many years. I find that they get worse depending on salt intake and (currently) my seasonal allergies. I was thinking of filler, but heard it could migrate, and I also wanted a permanent solution. Is it worth getting a consultation for surgery based on what you see?

Answer: Lower lid surgery... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for lower lid surgery. The excess fatty bag can be decreased in size. At the time, the area underneath it around the orbital bone has hallowed out and would look great with a little fat injection at the same time. That would give a nice, natural flat contour under your eye. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photos I think you would be an excellent candidate for a Transconjunctival blepharoplasty to remove the bulging fat and smooth the lower eyelids. You may also benefit from a skin pinch procedure as well to remove any loose skin. I often perform these under local anesthesia with sedation. Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Eye bags This is not a problem to treat with filler, and the fact that you notice worsening of swelling with salt intake/allergies suggests that filler would only make the problem worse, as filler will trap water into the area. You need to get a lower blepharoplasty. That is the only correct (and permanent) solution to what you are seeing. Good luck
