Q I’m 78 and contemplating a process to take away under-eye luggage. What recommendation might you give me?
A Whether or not you need to go for a surgical or non-surgical process, I might undoubtedly choose an oculoplastic (eye) surgeon to do the job, as they perceive this sophisticated space finest.
Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai (perfecteyesltd.com) recommends the next: ‘If the swelling is comparatively minimal and the hollows are literally extra vital than the bag, then expertly judged under-eye and tear-trough filler in the proper locations can clean out the world. If the luggage are distinguished otherwise you’re coping with malar luggage or festoons (swollen mounds on the decrease eyelid, simply above the cheek), filler will make the scenario worse.
An nameless reader requested Inge van Lotringen for recommendation on banishing their under-eye luggage (file picture)
‘On this case, your physician will talk about decrease eyelid blepharoplasty (eye-bag surgical procedure).’
This begins anyplace from £3,000 to £6,000, whereas fillers could be upwards of £750.
Alternatively, Shah-Desai says reasonably saggy pores and skin might be tightened with radiofrequency microneedling (Morpheus8), ‘however outcomes are variable and short-term, and a course of therapy can set you again £3,000.’
So, please choose a good surgeon who additionally does non-surgical tweakments to evaluate you and enable you weigh up choices.
