I'm a happy, healthy and active 50, but these eye bags say I'm tired and sad.
At least once a day someone will ask me if I'm tired and after laughing to the point of tears ... my eyes look like unopened walnuts.
I love that I look so much like my family and that to remain. I want to look like myself with no eye bags and maybe upper lids "unpuffed" too.
So far I have 3 consultations scheduled and 3 weeks of sick leave available.
Mission "Drop the Bags" is in full effect.
All feedback is welcome.

I am so looking forward to hear what you choose. I'm in the Bay Area as well and my story is exactly like yours. Every week people ask me if I'm tired. I'm in Manhattan Beach. Looking forward to see what doctor and treatment you end up using! Thanks for sharing :-)

UPDATED FROM tansim
Now I'm researching fillers vs. blepharoplasty
I may be starting a new job so bye-bye to two weeks at home, so now I'm researching fillers for correction until I can get the full surgery. I would love to start my new job with a fresh look:)
Does anyone know about fillers? Or if its even an option for my eye bags?
This is such a scary decision ...

I don't know much about under eye fillers but I just had my lower bleph about two weeks ago and my healing went buy very quickly. I wasn't in really any pain and I was presentable within 4 days(though I still rested a lot). Fillers may not last as long as the surgery but I think it is best to let a surgeon look at you and decide what would be the best for you. I've been to two surgeons and my Dermatologist and they all said the same thing so that's how I made my choice.

I had fillers for eye bags. While they helped me, they do not last. You need to keep getting it done and could be very costly. I decided to get Upper and Lower bleph. Best decision I ever made. Was healed and presentable for work within 10 days. But if time is an issue, try the fillers - they do help but surgery is the best.

Hi There! Feel free to read my recent review of tear trough implant surgery to correct lower eyebags. I am very happy. Just now 2 weeks post op. I will try to post updated pics today. My main reason for going this route was the permanent solution vs having to keep up with getting fillers, or potentially getting a hollow eye look with fat removal.

My 1st treatment with fillers ... easy peezy:)
It's so easy - just do it, but only with Dr. Mabrie.
First he cleaned my face, 2-4 pricks to numb (doesn't hurt), marks area and fills/molds.
I'm looking forward to my next treatment maybe in 3-4 weeks.
So attached are my photos from the day of my consultation, treatment day, and day after.
I'm very pleased with my result so far:)

Wohoo- drop the bags is a go! Keep us posted on how your consultations go and what surgery day you choose. I'm looking forward to following your story.
