Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of eye bags and hollows. Most patients only require one in-office injection and the procedure usually takes less than an hour. Patients can return immediately to work and their normal activities after treatment. Patients may experience some bruising or discoloration around the injection site.

The upper face can be smoothened using dermal fillers without the need for surgery.
Lower eyelid lift
General or local anesthesia may be used during the procedure. The former renders the patient unconscious. Local anesthesia reduces pain and numbs the area surrounding the eye. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, general anesthesia is sometimes necessary to complete multiple surgeries at the same time. A lower eyelid lift can also be done with local anesthesia. A local anesthetic is used to allow the surgeon to perform a pre-operative examination of the eye muscles. This allows for the surgeon avoid any discomfort.
To help reduce the appearance and size of undereye bags, a skilled surgeon can perform an eyelid lift. A small incision is made beneath the lashline to reach the underlying tissues. This allows fat to be removed. Excess skin is then tightened and reshaped to create a more youthful appearance. The scarring is minimal as the incision line is hidden under the lower eyelid crease.
Dermal resurfacing lasers
Dermal resurfacing lasers for eye bag treatment are extremely effective for treating the damaged and aging skin under the eyes. With a single procedure, the treated area can begin to regenerate and lose wrinkles. The recovery process can take only a few days. This procedure may be more beneficial for patients with darker skin tones. Lasers used for treating eye bags may not be suitable for all patients, but they can be very effective for people with dark skin.
Apply a topical numbing cream to the area before the procedure. After 30 minutes, the area is gently wiped with wet gauze to ensure that the treatment area is clean and free of any impurities that could interfere with the procedure. Gauze is used to protect the lower eyelids from injury during treatment. Laser treatments can result in temporary white bumps on the treated area.
