Medically Treating Eye Bags

Surgical Removal

Puffy under eye bags cast a deep shadow near the tear trough, making it appear as though you have dark circles.

If they are bothering you, it is possible to have the fat pads in the lower lid removed surgically.

It is a fairly common procedure and little recovery time is required, once the bags are removed, the dark circles will instantly disappear.

Lasers and Fillers

Working as a skin specialist for many years, I have had a lot of success with a combination of fillers and lasers.

Essentially what they do is tighten and firm the skin, delivering radio waves deep into the skin tissue,

This also stimulates new collagen production, helping the skin around the eye area to look visibly younger.

Another alternative solution you may want to consider that has had a lot of success, is filling around the bags with restylane or perlane.

Important note on medical advice

Eye bags can also be due to  underlying medical condition, such as a sluggish lymphatic system, or a kidney problem.

In cases such as this, it is worth seeking medical advice.
