Question: "I'm in my early 20s but have awful eye bags. What is the best treatment: fillers or surgery?"


Answer: "Fillers are good for patients who have dark circles due to volume loss but without a significant eyelid bag. Injecting fillers in a patient with significant eyelid bags can lead to the bag looking even bigger! These patients benefit most from surgery."


Here is an example of a patient who reduced slight undereye bags with injectable fillers.

Alternatively, this example shows a younger patient who opted for lower eyelid surgery to reduce undereye bags she has had her entire life.
