Question:
I have large bags under my eyes, and I am only 39 years old. I would like lower lid blepharoplasty. If I have this procedure done, is there any chance that the bags will return?
Answer:
Your lower eyelid problem is likely a genetic one. Having lower eyelid surgery at 39 does not prevent bags from reforming in your lower lids, however, this can take many years. The key to successful lower eyelid surgery is someone who is 39 is to make sure that the fat is preserved as much as possible so that the hollow appearance of aging is not the result of your surgery.
