Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive, effective treatment for hollows and eye bags that requires no downtime. Most patients only require one in-office injection and the procedure usually takes less than an hour. Patients can return to work and other activities as soon as they are done with the treatment. Minor side effects, such as discoloration or bruising at the injection site may occur in some patients. However, these are rare and usually go away on their own.
The aesthetic treatment of eyebags can be done by patients using dermal fillers. These can either conceal mild under-eye puffiness (or correct more severe cases). Botox might not be the best option if the bags are due to dynamic wrinkles and facial muscle movements. However, this procedure relaxes facial muscles and can improve the appearance of eye bags. You can smoothen the upper facial contours with dermal fillers, which aren't invasive and don't require downtime.
Lower eyelid lift
You may need to use general or local anesthesia. 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.
An experienced surgeon can perform a lower eyelid lift to help alleviate the appearance of undereye bags. An incision is made below the lash line to access the underlying tissues and fat. Excess skin is then tightened and reshaped to create a more youthful appearance. This minimizes scarring.
Dermal resurfacing lasers
Lasers used for treatment of the eye bags and the skin underneath are very effective in treating the damaged and aged skin. One procedure can allow the area to begin to heal itself and shed wrinkles. The recovery period for this procedure may only take one week. This procedure is more suitable for patients who have dark pigmented skin. The lasers used to treat eye bags by dermal resurfacing are not appropriate for everyone. However, they may be more effective for patients with dark-skinned skin.
Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated. 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. The treated area may develop temporary white bumps from laser treatments.
