Tired of Looking Tired? Your Options to Minimize Bags, Sagging Skin & Dark Circles

Aging is often most noticeable in the eyes, made evident by sagging lids, excess drooping skin, dark circles or puffiness. They can be a sign of exhaustion or most often, a result of genetics. Many suffer from this unappealing condition, which can dark circles over time. Proper skin care, hydration and use of sun screen are essential practices to replenish and preserve your skin tone and texture, however they can only minimally reduce the appearance of bags and dark circles.

Regardless the reason, the result is premature aging and can be corrected with surgery or in some instances without surgery using advanced dermal fillers.
There are two basic options to correct under eye bags and circles, both provide immense satisfaction amongst our patients.

The first is a surgical procedure known as a blepharoplasty, the third most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in America. This surgical procedure addresses sagging lids, excess drooping skin, dark circles and puffiness to create a more youthful appearance and restore the best features of your eyes.

For some individuals, blepharoplasty surgery might be the only solution. For others, advanced dermal fillers present a non-surgical alternative.

Dermal fillers, (also known as injectibles), are FDA-approved and used by thousands of medical practitioners to enhance facial features, non-surgically. It is recommended that only specially-trained, board certified healthcare professionals apply dermal fillers. At Lee Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, Dr. Lee has successfully reduced the signs of aging, both surgically and non-surgically, for our many devoted patients.

By applying dermal fillers under the eyes we are able to fill in depressions and smooth areas between the cheek and brow to dramatically reduce dark circles and mask puffiness from bags. The result is more natural coloration and contour.

Our practice has chosen the industry’s most respected injectibles -- Juvederm®, Prevelle Silk®, Restylane® and Perlane®. To learn more about your best options, we invite you to contact us for a complimentary consultation with S. Darrell Lee, M.D., board certified plastic surgeon and founder of Lee Plastic Surgery & Laser Center.
