Understanding under-eye bags

Under-eye bags are puffiness or fullness below the eyes, and they are one of the trickier concerns, because not every type responds to injectable treatment. We assess yours carefully and advise honestly within our tear trough and under-eye treatments.

What causes under-eye bags

True bags are usually caused by fat pads pushing forward as the supporting tissue weakens with age, or by fluid retention. They differ from a hollow or dark circle. Genetics, sleep, salt and allergies can all make puffiness worse.

Who tends to notice them

They often appear from the forties, though some people have them younger through genetics. Puffiness that comes and goes is often fluid-related, while a persistent bag is more likely to be fat pads.

Where a small bag sits above a hollow, careful filler can smooth the transition and reduce the shadow, in the right candidate.
For skin quality and mild puffiness, regenerative treatment can improve the tone and firmness of the area.

What results are realistic

This is an area where honesty matters most. Filler can help where a small bag sits above a hollow, but significant fat-pad bags are not improved by filler and may need surgery. Fluid-related puffiness responds to lifestyle changes. We will always tell you if injectables are not the answer.
