Weirdly I've always found this attractive as compared to hollow under eyes when smiling. I've even tried to mimic the look but realized my eyes just can't do that.
Hi Mercy Rono, The ridge is considered attractive in some Asian cultures as the "Love Band" as shown in the video, with some even having cosmetic filler treatment to add it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi M G, That's not an appropriate treatment for the eyelid crease. If you'd like specific recommendations for your upper eyelids, you need to have a proper consultation where your eyelids can be examined. I hope this helps you.
Hi@@MG-tq8rj, Upper eyelid surgery, or almost any surgery, do not stop the effects of facial aging. If performed properly, the surgery itself does not affect vision. You can refer to this video about why almost all cosmetic surgeries and treatments are not permanent - ruclips.net/video/TzQOCp5RRzU/видео.html
Doctor sir please try to answer my simple doubt if u don't mind 🙏 As we all know its normal to loose upto 50 hairs a day. It may be on our pillows while wakeup or when we ran fingers over the scalp or while we applying oil etc etc. Does it happen in back side hairs also what i mean to say is the hairs from my backside back to ears that portion if hair loose from that portion is normal can it be considered as normal hair loss will it grow back. Or do i need to take any medications for backside hair fall
Hi NiljaNilja Nel, You don't lose 50 hairs a day, you shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Hair shedding happens to all scalp hair, regardless of location. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth, but hair at the lower back of the head, and at the sides are genetically resistant to hair thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doctor, I received botox under my eyes 5 days ago. I should have done the proper research and wish I saw your video beforehand. 5 days after botox and I have terrible bags that I did not even have before. The botox was mainly for my crows feet and under eye wrinkles. The injector injected right underneath my lower eyelids. What can I do? Will the bags possibly reduce after 2 to 3 weeks? Thanks so much in advance
Hi El Love, Sorry to hear about your problem. Botox should not cause eye bags as it's injected into muscles to reduce their activity, and the peak effects of Botox need two weeks to be seen. The results shown in the video is from reducing the activity of the orbicularis oculi muscle behind the lower eyelid. Your bags may be due to temporary swelling from the needle, but not the neurotoxin itself. You can follow up with your doctor who performed the injection to determine the exact cause of your current condition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doctor, I have under eye 'bulges' that are very prominent when I smile (similar to those shown here but with more significant shadowing) & in some light when resting naturally look as though I have lost significant definition in my tear troughs. I have approached a few cosmetic clinics & I have had one recommend to use 20 units of botox under my eyes to release that muscle (however I have heard using high amounts can lead to double vision, the lower eyelid drooping & other issues) where another clinic mentioned this method isn't approved & wish to treat it only with a tear trough filler. Would you recommend one over the other or is a combination of the two possible? (For example a lower amount of botox under the eyes to slightly reduce the pull of that muscle and to use filler to make up for the further definition loss under my eyes?). I am hoping for a solution with low risks if possible. Thankyou!
Hi BlueSilk22, If the bulge only appears with facial movement, I would normally recommend only Botox. However, since I have not examined your issue in consultation, this is not a definitive recommendation, and I would have to examine you for a proper second opinion. I hope this helps you.
Hello, I had Bells Palsy about 10 years ago that caused left side paralysis. Now I notice that my eye looks smaller whenever I smile. I know that at the beginning there was some difference while I was healing but looking at prior pictures it was somewhat normal for years. I hate smiling now because it looks like heavy bags and one eye looks smaller than the other. Do you think Botox would help?
Hi Rosie Diaz, I hope you understand that I would need see and examine the problem before I can recommend a specific treatment, especially since Botox limits muscle movement, and using too much may temporarily paralyze the treated area. I hope this helps you.
Hello Doctor, I wanted to know what you think about the excision of permanent fillers under the eyes? I had hyaluronic acid injections 6 months ago (I have proof that it is Revolax) and the doctors can't dissolve it with hyaluronidase. As a result, I have small bags.
Hi LOW3R, Sorry to hear about your problem. I would have to examine your situation, as well as possibly trying to dissolve the filler at a deeper level.

Hai sir From my 17 th age onwards hair thinning started i had taken prp and finasterade for 1 yr at that time my existing hairs didn't thinned so cause of the bad looking in appearence hair i done a hair transplant at age 18. i implanted 4500 grafts with high density coverege now my hair looks okay and iam continuing prp and finasterade. I became a lil bit late to see ur video u explaining about the complications of having hair transplant in early 20 s. Sir for God's sake 🙏 please reply am i done a big mistake. What is the solution sir plz reply its my gretest wish to meet u once cause i like the way to present each concepts in a very comprehensive way. So i thought u can suggest me the proper way. How to compensate the mistake that i've done
Hi Chat With Abhi, You do need to keep managing your hair loss, as it's not a condition that can be cured or completely stopped. You can keep taking finasteride to slow progressive hair thinning, and PRP treatments can help if you can't access our injection treatment that doesn't require as many treatment sessions.

Hey Doc. Trust You are doing great and safe. I have been contemplating on a fractional CO2 laser treatment for my acne scars. But afraid if it would cause skin cancer in the longer run. Or any other skin decease. Also would the results be permanent? Or would there be dependency on laser? I to go cold turkey post treatment but is it also imp. to stop smoking before the treatment. I have an oily skin. Please if you could help and clarify. as have my appointment on Sat cheers..
Hi The Quest, Dermatologists who do all they can to prevent and treat skin cancer do laser treatments regularly, so laser treatment is not linked to skin cancer. If you are worried about cancer, as well as other fatal diseases like emphysema and heart disease, you should quit smoking for good. As for permanence, it's important to remember that cosmetic treatments don't stop the skin from aging, and don't stop future acne, so to expect permanent results is unrealistic. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hey Doc, if your hair thins after regrowth from hair fall even after thyroid levels have stabilized for a year plus after taking thyroxine should it be assumed its male pattern balding
Hi Knowledge base, Medical treatments are not recommended on assumptions, but on a proper diagnosis. An examination is needed to determine if you have concurrent male pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD yes I understand, just asking for your opinion if you witnessed this in a client not for a diagnosis. Someone's hair still thining after thyroid levels have stabilised for a long time. Another question, can thyroid issues trigger early MPB
Hi@@knowledgebase9364, It is possible to have genetic pattern hair loss manifest concurrently with a thyroid issue. Thyroid issues cannot trigger genetic pattern hair loss, as MPB is a genetic condition already hardwired into the DNA, so it's not something that can be triggered by another condition.

What about when the ridge seems to be a little lower then immediately under eye and almost horizontal rather curved upward? Is that something different? Only happens when smiling.
Hi @kimwilliams3868, If it's not the muscle, that may be skin bunching as the lower eyelid skin gets pushed up when smiling. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/k-c4V1Fqh2Q/видео.html

Hi Varun Shinde, I hope you understand that I can't make specific treatment recommendations for you without examining your eyelids. I've made several videos about the different treatment options for dark under eye circles, for your reference: ruclips.net/video/QBvjjvxPt2g/видео.html ruclips.net/video/S6_nTRr1tio/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jQUb67RpaAM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/RHJodb437o4/видео.html
Dr how do u feel about filler in the forehead? For Someone that has small narrow forehead? Is it safe? I want my forehead to look more full and a nice shape.. but worry if is safe.. what kind of filler would u recommend
Hi Akiko Bae, While I do administer hyaluronic acid fillers in the forehead, I would have to see you in a physical examination before recommending specific treatments for your case. While filler material does matter with safety and predictability, it is the doctor's the skill and expertise that avoids, and can immediately treat potential complications. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi doctor i love your vedios every much i done prp treatmentment ( 1 st session ) and use multivitamins (docter recommend me ) my hair was thin after my full session of prp ( 3 session) how to maintain reslts and i stop doing prp what happen
Hi Yesara Madubasini, Thank you for watching! I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older TrichoStem™Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity as TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is not a DHT-blocker. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely. Some TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients with advanced hair loss get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first which we call the booster, but this is already included in the cost of the treatment plan, so you don’t pay extra for it. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely, or be weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed. You can refer to these videos about the differences between TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration from PRP alone: ruclips.net/video/vZAGaAssewY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xSMTd9qVwNo/видео.html
Hi Doctor, I understand there’s the muscle “love band”, but when I smile, one eye have and eye bag under the love band, so it looks like I have double eye bags (only when I smile). I believe it’s herniated fat only when I smile, the contraction of muscles pushes out the fat which appears to be an eye bag. It goes back when I don’t smile or squint. I think one commenter have the same issue as I do, but his/hers is not separated by a ridge under the love band, so it appears as one large eye bag on one when he/she smile/squint, where as mine appears under the love band separated by a ridge, so it’s shown as “double” eye bag on one eye. Would you say you would treat something like the same way you do with “permanent” herniated fat under the eye? Thanks for your time.
Hi @megababy2030, I would have to examine the puffiness before I can recommend surgery. Prolapsed fat orbital is usually visible even when not smiling, so it might be skin being pushed up when you smile. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Interesting!! That makes a lot of sense. Due to cranial distortion from an old old injury, the right side of my facial bones has been sinking inwards gradually (smaller right face, left face being pushed out). I’m in the midst of working on my skeletal and now more on cranial with an osteopath and cranial sacral therapist for the past few years. Right eye which is the one with “double eye bag” Is deeper set and the left eye is more protruding, which causes lots of discomfort. So what you are saying explains the extra skin on the right side. Thank you so much for your reply Doctor! Much much appreciated. On a side note, is there any treatment recommendation for loose/extra skin that doesn’t require surgery? Or surgery is the best option? I’m 40 but my skin condition relatively ok, I’m on the dry skin little facial fat team. Cheers and thank you so much again Doc~ 🙏🏼
Hi@@megababy2030, I do have a video coming up soon on treating crepey skin under the eyes without surgery, so complications from skin removal leading to a skin shortage are avoided. For now, you can refer to these videos on how we treat under eye wrinkles without surgery, and why surgical removal of lower eyelid skin is not recommended: ruclips.net/video/PXMhY90TReM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/U7kJ4CMcJ0A/видео.html

Hi Pallavi Panicker, Sorry to hear that, but I can't diagnose this without an examination, and determining its cause. If you can't see us for an examination, I suggest you consult a local dermatologist about it. I hope this helps you.
Hi Jessica Sentman, Everyone has their orbicularis oculi muscle contracting in the lower eyelid when they smile or laugh, but in some people the bulge from contraction is prominent. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I have bags under my eyes when I smile. But I have noticed over the years the bags/ridge is getting bigger when I smile. It looks like huge bags when I smile. Makes me look old. What to do?
Hi Happy happy, You do need to have a proper evaluation to diagnose the cause of your hair loss, but if it's throughout your body, you be facing the rare condition called alopecia universalis. You can see a local dermatologist to diagnose your condition properly. I hope this helps you.
Hi Linda Nguyen, The cause of the bag when smiling is the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle, so a neurotoxin like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin is needed to reduce muscle activity. This puffiness when smiling is called a "love band" in some Asian cultures, and it is sought after, so it's not really something that needs to be "fixed". I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor, thanks for sharing this video link with your reply to my other comment. Very informative video this is!! Doctor, in my case bags under my eye is little bit visible when I am not smiling. But it is more prominent when smiling, the place of that bag is also different. (especially under my right eye). I would like to share my photo with you so that I can get my doubt clarified (let me know the way to Share my photo with you) I have visited few cosmetic surgeons in Banglore. But I am not satisfied with their approach to address my issue. Kindly help me regarding this.
Hi Chaya Madhu, I would need to diagnose the cause of your eye bags which would take a proper physical evaluation like you did with the doctors you visited, and cannot be diagnosed with just a photo. You can refer to this video about the different causes of eye bags - ruclips.net/video/kDxDW7Qeuog/видео.html
Thank you very much for explaining me doctor. I visited one more cosmetic surgeon in Banglore. She said Morpheus could help to reduce the bags under my eye. Hope this treatment help me to get rid of the bags, fingers crossed.
Hi@@chayamadhu8043, Sorry, but eye bags are not likely to be treated by thermal treatments. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/cU0B9-IahGk/видео.html
Oops.. Doctor how can I get rid of this eye bag.. ? I am really frustrated and feeling helpless. Can you please refer any good surgeon in Banglore? Very sorry for all this trouble 🙏
Hi@@chayamadhu8043, I haven't diagnosed the cause of your eye bags. You can refer to this video on the best treatment for eye bags caused by prolapsed orbital fat - ruclips.net/video/46Kp6ayfyzg/видео.html I'm not familiar with surgeons in Bangalore, but if you need surgery, I suggest you ask for transconjunctival blepharoplasty by name, which involves no external incision in the lower eyelid for visible scarring and potential damage to lower eyelid support structures; and insist on no lower eyelid skin removal to treat wrinkles, as this can cause skin shortage that will pull down the lower eyelids. Under eye wrinkles can be treated non-surgically to improve skin quality.
Hi doctor I'm 31 years old male , I am not gaining face volumn even eat everything I don't know why I am very depressed my face was very healthy but now my face is very skinny even I don't want to smile now because now I look very bad due to skinny cheeks and hollowness under eye , how can I get apple cheeks again should I take cosmetics treatment like filler etc my English is not good hope you've understood what I want to say you🙏🙏
Hi Adnan Ghaffar, Sorry to hear about your problem, but I would have to examine your face before recommending treatment, especially since you are a little young for significant age-related volume loss in the face.

Hi@@adnankiani2315, I hope you understand that I can't recommend treatment based on a picture alone as it cannot replace a proper physical evaluation and diagnosis. Also, I would have to be your doctor to recommend a specific treatment, and me looking at a picture does not make me your doctor. You can send your pictures through prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/virtual-consultation/ or eyelifts.com/virtual-consultation/ or puffyeyes.com/virtual-consultation/ for a preliminary review. Please note that this is not a formal consultation, but a preliminary evaluation.
Hi Jacob Johnston, Puffiness under the eyes that are due to the muscle, or always visible due to prolapsed orbital fat can be treated. An examination would be needed to see what approach can best help you.
Hi @blakeavila2295, Results of treatment for this issue is quite subtle, so you do have to consider how pronounced it is, and how treatment will only give a little improvement. Eye position, eyelid height, and other factors of eye and eyelid asymmetry are due to bone structure (two halves of the skull forming separately), so there will always be little differences between the two eyes, but everyone has a certain degree of facial asymmetry, so most of it goes unnoticed by others. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sorry to hear about your problem, @sumi5335. If it bothers you this much, you can consider treatment. Keep in mind the treatment featured in the video is temporary, as the effects of Botox last 4-6 months, but once it has taken effect, you are stuck with the effects until it wears off 4-6 months later.
Hi Yang Seungbae, It is possible to only have it under only one eye. While this can be treated as shown in the video, some Asian cultures value this aesthetic which they call the "Love Band", so you can also consider not having it treated. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you for the answer🙏🏻 I actually like this but I wish I had it in both eyes. Do you think it's possible to make the other eye have an under bag as well?
Hi,@@timidity , While this is not a procedure practiced widely in the US, in countries where the love band is sought after may use a cosmetic filler to replicate the look. Keep in mind that if a filler is used, it may be visible all the time, and not just when smiling. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Weirdly I've always found this attractive as compared to hollow under eyes when smiling. I've even tried to mimic the look but realized my eyes just can't do that.

Hi sir is there yours cosmetic surgery clinic in hyderabad or south india??
Hi Krishna Reddy,
Sorry, I only practice medicine in the East Coast of the US.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD is there any chance sir?
Sorry,@@krishnareddy323, I don't perform surgeries or procedures in India.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Hmmm ok sir..
What about when the ridge seems to be a little lower then immediately under eye and almost horizontal rather curved upward? Is that something different? Only happens when smiling.
Hi @kimwilliams3868,
If it's not the muscle, that may be skin bunching as the lower eyelid skin gets pushed up when smiling. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/k-c4V1Fqh2Q/видео.html
I just my first stye I think and I believe both my eyes got one, I used warm compress and I think it’s going away now, although since then I noticed my eyes look off, and realized when smiling in photos I had these bags, is there any chance this is just caused by the styes and will go away on its own?
Hi Varun Shinde,
I hope you understand that I can't make specific treatment recommendations for you without examining your eyelids. I've made several videos about the different treatment options for dark under eye circles, for your reference:

Dr how do u feel about filler in the forehead? For Someone that has small narrow forehead? Is it safe? I want my forehead to look more full and a nice shape.. but worry if is safe.. what kind of filler would u recommend
Hi Akiko Bae,
While I do administer hyaluronic acid fillers in the forehead, I would have to see you in a physical examination before recommending specific treatments for your case. While filler material does matter with safety and predictability, it is the doctor's the skill and expertise that avoids, and can immediately treat potential complications. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi doctor i love your vedios every much i done prp treatmentment ( 1 st session ) and use multivitamins (docter recommend me ) my hair was thin after my full session of prp ( 3 session) how to maintain reslts and i stop doing prp what happen
Hi Yesara Madubasini,
Thank you for watching! I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older TrichoStem™Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity as TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is not a DHT-blocker. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely. Some TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients with advanced hair loss get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first which we call the booster, but this is already included in the cost of the treatment plan, so you don’t pay extra for it. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely, or be weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed. You can refer to these videos about the differences between TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration from PRP alone:

Hi Doctor, I understand there’s the muscle “love band”, but when I smile, one eye have and eye bag under the love band, so it looks like I have double eye bags (only when I smile). I believe it’s herniated fat only when I smile, the contraction of muscles pushes out the fat which appears to be an eye bag. It goes back when I don’t smile or squint. I think one commenter have the same issue as I do, but his/hers is not separated by a ridge under the love band, so it appears as one large eye bag on one when he/she smile/squint, where as mine appears under the love band separated by a ridge, so it’s shown as “double” eye bag on one eye.
Would you say you would treat something like the same way you do with “permanent” herniated fat under the eye?
Thanks for your time.
Hi @megababy2030,
I would have to examine the puffiness before I can recommend surgery. Prolapsed fat orbital is usually visible even when not smiling, so it might be skin being pushed up when you smile. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Interesting!! That makes a lot of sense. Due to cranial distortion from an old old injury, the right side of my facial bones has been sinking inwards gradually (smaller right face, left face being pushed out). I’m in the midst of working on my skeletal and now more on cranial with an osteopath and cranial sacral therapist for the past few years. Right eye which is the one with “double eye bag” Is deeper set and the left eye is more protruding, which causes lots of discomfort. So what you are saying explains the extra skin on the right side. Thank you so much for your reply Doctor! Much much appreciated.
On a side note, is there any treatment recommendation for loose/extra skin that doesn’t require surgery? Or surgery is the best option? I’m 40 but my skin condition relatively ok, I’m on the dry skin little facial fat team.
Cheers and thank you so much again Doc~ 🙏🏼
Hi@@megababy2030,
I do have a video coming up soon on treating crepey skin under the eyes without surgery, so complications from skin removal leading to a skin shortage are avoided. For now, you can refer to these videos on how we treat under eye wrinkles without surgery, and why surgical removal of lower eyelid skin is not recommended:

Dr my nose is white and my neck hands also white but my face now becames very dark especially a dark shade had occurred above both eyes to a part of my lips.. Its highlighted as we all know we can't change our skin color but is it possible to Reverse our orginal skin color. What i mean to say is i want my orginal color back 🥺
Hi Pallavi Panicker,
Sorry to hear that, but I can't diagnose this without an examination, and determining its cause. If you can't see us for an examination, I suggest you consult a local dermatologist about it. I hope this helps you.
What causes the muscles under the eye to be more pronounced when smiling?
Hi Jessica Sentman,
Everyone has their orbicularis oculi muscle contracting in the lower eyelid when they smile or laugh, but in some people the bulge from contraction is prominent. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Nice 1
Thank you, Theo! And thanks for watching!
Hi I have bags under my eyes when I smile. But I have noticed over the years the bags/ridge is getting bigger when I smile. It looks like huge bags when I smile. Makes me look old. What to do?
Hi Pa Vang,
You can watch the video more closely to see how we treat this issue with Botox.
Hi doctor 22 n I'm facing hair loss in my overall body please answer
Hi Happy happy,
You do need to have a proper evaluation to diagnose the cause of your hair loss, but if it's throughout your body, you be facing the rare condition called alopecia universalis. You can see a local dermatologist to diagnose your condition properly. I hope this helps you.
Is there a non botox procedure to fix this?
Hi Linda Nguyen,
The cause of the bag when smiling is the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle, so a neurotoxin like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin is needed to reduce muscle activity.
This puffiness when smiling is called a "love band" in some Asian cultures, and it is sought after, so it's not really something that needs to be "fixed". I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor, thanks for sharing this video link with your reply to my other comment.
Very informative video this is!!
Doctor, in my case bags under my eye is little bit visible when I am not smiling. But it is more prominent when smiling, the place of that bag is also different. (especially under my right eye).
I would like to share my photo with you so that I can get my doubt clarified (let me know the way to Share my photo with you)
I have visited few cosmetic surgeons in Banglore. But I am not satisfied with their approach to address my issue. Kindly help me regarding this.
Hi Chaya Madhu,
I would need to diagnose the cause of your eye bags which would take a proper physical evaluation like you did with the doctors you visited, and cannot be diagnosed with just a photo. You can refer to this video about the different causes of eye bags - ruclips.net/video/kDxDW7Qeuog/видео.html
Thank you very much for explaining me doctor. I visited one more cosmetic surgeon in Banglore. She said Morpheus could help to reduce the bags under my eye. Hope this treatment help me to get rid of the bags, fingers crossed.
Hi@@chayamadhu8043,
Sorry, but eye bags are not likely to be treated by thermal treatments. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/cU0B9-IahGk/видео.html
Oops..
Doctor how can I get rid of this eye bag.. ? I am really frustrated and feeling helpless. Can you please refer any good surgeon in Banglore? Very sorry for all this trouble 🙏
Hi@@chayamadhu8043,
I haven't diagnosed the cause of your eye bags. You can refer to this video on the best treatment for eye bags caused by prolapsed orbital fat - ruclips.net/video/46Kp6ayfyzg/видео.html
I'm not familiar with surgeons in Bangalore, but if you need surgery, I suggest you ask for transconjunctival blepharoplasty by name, which involves no external incision in the lower eyelid for visible scarring and potential damage to lower eyelid support structures; and insist on no lower eyelid skin removal to treat wrinkles, as this can cause skin shortage that will pull down the lower eyelids. Under eye wrinkles can be treated non-surgically to improve skin quality.
Hi doctor I'm 31 years old male , I am not gaining face volumn even eat everything I don't know why I am very depressed my face was very healthy but now my face is very skinny even I don't want to smile now because now I look very bad due to skinny cheeks and hollowness under eye , how can I get apple cheeks again should I take cosmetics treatment like filler etc my English is not good hope you've understood what I want to say you🙏🙏
Hi Adnan Ghaffar,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but I would have to examine your face before recommending treatment, especially since you are a little young for significant age-related volume loss in the face. You can refer to these videos about treating hollow cheeks, and hollowness under the eyes:

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank u very much doctor for your reply, may I know how can I send u a picture so it will be easy for u to suggest me a treatment
Hi@@adnankiani2315,
I hope you understand that I can't recommend treatment based on a picture alone as it cannot replace a proper physical evaluation and diagnosis. Also, I would have to be your doctor to recommend a specific treatment, and me looking at a picture does not make me your doctor. You can send your pictures through prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/virtual-consultation/ or eyelifts.com/virtual-consultation/ or puffyeyes.com/virtual-consultation/ for a preliminary review. Please note that this is not a formal consultation, but a preliminary evaluation.
Ive had this since i was 14 and it’s getting worse on my left side
Hi Jacob Johnston,
Puffiness under the eyes that are due to the muscle, or always visible due to prolapsed orbital fat can be treated. An examination would be needed to see what approach can best help you.
Mine are uneven and make my eyes look uneven 😂
Hi @blakeavila2295,
Results of treatment for this issue is quite subtle, so you do have to consider how pronounced it is, and how treatment will only give a little improvement.
Eye position, eyelid height, and other factors of eye and eyelid asymmetry are due to bone structure (two halves of the skull forming separately), so there will always be little differences between the two eyes, but everyone has a certain degree of facial asymmetry, so most of it goes unnoticed by others. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I hate it 😭😭 , i don't even smile bcs of it
Sorry to hear about your problem, @sumi5335. If it bothers you this much, you can consider treatment. Keep in mind the treatment featured in the video is temporary, as the effects of Botox last 4-6 months, but once it has taken effect, you are stuck with the effects until it wears off 4-6 months later.
I have this but only in one eye💀
Hi Yang Seungbae,
It is possible to only have it under only one eye. While this can be treated as shown in the video, some Asian cultures value this aesthetic which they call the "Love Band", so you can also consider not having it treated. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you for the answer🙏🏻 I actually like this but I wish I had it in both eyes. Do you think it's possible to make the other eye have an under bag as well?
Hi,@@timidity ,
While this is not a procedure practiced widely in the US, in countries where the love band is sought after may use a cosmetic filler to replicate the look. Keep in mind that if a filler is used, it may be visible all the time, and not just when smiling. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you👍🏻
You're welcome,@@timidity
