How can I get rid of eyebags and puffy eyes?

Doctor's Answers 3

The appearance of Lower Eye puffiness can be due to several reasons, and at the age of 60+, is likely due to actual fat herniation with bony volume loss of the face.

If this is indeed your problem, options include surgical intervention (which might be more appropriate if you have excessive loose skin around the eye), radio frequency ablation of the fat using a needle, as well as indirect methods such as the use of fillers to blend the lower lid-cheek area.

It might be best that you are properly assessed for a proper management plan. More often than not, a combination of the above and other procedures are used for a better, more natural result.

Treatment for eyebags and loose skin around the eyes includes surgery as well as non-invasive treatments.

For treatment of eyebags, you will need surgery to remove the herniated fat.

However, you can consider other non-surgical treatments that will also improve the appearance of your lower eye region.

In terms of loose skin, you can consider radio frequency or focused ultrasound for skin tightening and collagen production.

Fillers can also be used to improve volume loss as a result of fat and bone loss.

Hope that this helps!

Thank you for your question.

As my colleagues have expertly shared, allow me to summarise.

1. Treatment depends on the cause of your eyebags and puffiness

2. Options include surgical vs non surgical

3. Fillers tend to help, but there cannot be 100% correction.

Hope this helps.

Is PRP injection available for acne scarring in Singapore?

PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
