It is because you are pumping the fluid out from under your eyes with cardio. It is the heat of the exercise plus the draining that does the trick. The lazy way, very hot showers on the face for a minute or two. It expands the vessels and lets them drain. All this Apply Cold is nonsensical.

It's okay i have them too, people often ask me if i'm tired, but i get them from my mums side and i see my mum in the mirror and she won't be around forever ❤
I had a lower lid blepharoplasty done at age 66 and never regretted it. I had extreme puffy eyes and now I look like the rest of the population. I feel like a normal person. No great beauty but I do not have those depressing bags anymore. Sometimes diet changes and allergy meds just don't cut it.
Exactly! I've been stopped while walking through the mall by several sales people with different products 😢 I'm definitely going to have my bags removed 🎉
@@ardymoore694 I don't know you, but I want you to be happy. If happy is NOT having it done, that's o.k.! If getting a blepharoplasty done that's o.k. too. It's all about YOU. All I can tell you is I didn't know what was worse, the lower bulges or the upper over hang puffiness. I needed both. Ardymoore, I can't TELL you how relieved I STILL am that I no longer have undereye pouches. My surgeon told me I might want the upper lids done again, but the lower space under the eye never returns. I suppose had I to choose one I would have chosen the under eye pouches. Mine were rather 'sad'. They were gone the minute I was sent out of the O.R. (you will have to pay for an O.R., otherwise upper lids are done in the surgeon's office). My friend picked me up to go home, and I looked into her rear view mirror,... and I was shocked that my bulges were GONE. You can decide which procedure you will want, but there are two. One is to excise fat from the outside of the lid. The other is to do it from the inside thus no cutting of the lower eye muscle - which is what I did. Study up on it to make your VERY VEST decision, .. and I wish you MUCH HAPPINESS!!!! 😍
I'm 43 and got Ulcerative Colitis last year. I lost around 100lbs in 4 months and I now have very noticeable bags under my eyes. I will try these techniques. Thanks!
Bless you, doc, for suggesting an ice pack for itchy eyes. I've had lifelong allergies and my mother was always telling me "don't rub your eyes!" that but the relentless itching without relief was maddening. 🤩 And I've finally learned what the tiny blisters are on the rim of my eyelids: blocked Meibomian glands. Interesting. I get them from wearing waterproof mascara.
@@extravale they appear as tiny blisters on the rim of my eyelid. I wash my hands thoroughly and scrape a fingernail over them to pop them. Sometimes I have to repeat that until they go away.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I got an eyebag under my right eye that seems to be caused by something in one of your video's thumnail: "MGD (Dry Eye) Treatment Guide - How to Treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction" I got those oil deposits yellow sitting under my right eye, it look as if it's swollen as if I got hurt, when I touch my right under eyelid it's hard unlike the one on the left. I'm not sure how to get rid of it. The last time I did consultation few years ago, the practitionner told me it's untreatable. I highly doubt it's untreatable...
I've noticed that if I sleep on my back, I don't get the puffiness under my eyes. If I sleep on my side, then that side gets puffy. I figured it's like lividity, where your fluids pool when you die depending on position of your body at death. It's hard for me to sleep on my back, I even try to slant my upper body up for sinus reasons & find that's even better. As a senior woman on low sodium diet, this is only my observation, no scientific study, but it's free to try at home, no risks. Glad to see a Dr. Not selling his own products.
Yes that works great ! Your lucky I find it sooooo hard to sleep on my back but I do for a week before an important function so my under eyes look great.
If I don't sleep on my back my eyes are terribly swollen in morning. I now sleep on sofa with pillows propping up my head to be elevated. The added support for my hips to lean into the back of sofa, helps keep me comfortable. And the arm of the sofa keeps my head elevated.
Under eye bags can be hereditary. It ran in our family. Noticing the fat pockets starting to protrude in my mid twenties, I had my under eye fat removed by a plastic surgeon. Best decision. As my sister aged, I was so glad I didn’t have the bags she had. Once the fat was removed, it never came back. That was 35 years ago.
Very impressed with your video. As an Ophthalmic Technician for over 20 years, who works with an Ophthalmologist who specializes in Levator Advancement surgery and an expert on dry eye, I agree almost 100% with the information you provided. However, I do need to make mention of a more minimally invasive procedure call laser lower lid resurfacing that works absolutely incredible! I do suggest your patients and follower only see a board certified Ophthalmologist for consultation. In my experience, general plastic surgeons are slightly less experienced with lid skin and tend to be a bit more radical with their fat removal. Thank you for your time. Keep up the good work.
@@andygarza8132 Yeah because God forbid anyone should try to make dough. They'd all be scamming, conniving scumbags, right? Then I guess you called most of humanity scamming, conniving scumbags. I hope you like being as special as you are.
Thank you so much for an honest and realistic answer to what is a problem for me. I'm 80, and I've been lucky genetically that my face and skin have stayed quite firm. I had cataract surgery and after the surgery suddenly I ended up with these bags under my eyes. I've been going crazy buying all kinds of things that do not work. Now, after your video, I'll use the salt free and cold compress method to minimize it and if it doesn't satisfy me enough I'll look into having the corrective under eye surgery. Your channel is a huge help
Thank you for your upfront honesty and not trying to sell any BS. I’ve never seen your videos before, but I’ll be looking out for them now. I’ll make sure to give your advice a try. God Bless
You are much smarter and aware than all the other physicians who have posted videos on this subject on RUclips. Your point about the skin under the eye helps a lot. Using an ice pack under my left eye less than 3 minutes has already lowered my eye puffiness by 100%. Thanks a Million!!👍👍
Thank you so much for your advice on this issue. I just recently noticed that I had a more pronounced eye bag under one of my eyes than the other. I have decided to cut back my salt intake and get into a better sleeping routine. It’s funny because the day I found your video I had taken out a cooling mask I had in my refrigerator and promised myself I was going to try it that night. Thanks again for all your advice.
Thanks. I have known for some time, I need an upper eye lift, because my hooded eye lids are weighing down my eyelashes into my line of vision. Plus, I learned years ago, the only real solution to my under eye puffiness is surgery. Add allergies, and I am a mess during peak allergy seasons. Thank for confirmation, on what I already had determined was my best options. I see my eye doctor in a couple weeks to discuss the best person for the procedure. I appreciate your precise and concise delivery, your integrity, and your nice manner. Blessings 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚
Hopefully you did not get surgery yet. I saw on a RUclips commercial where a lady developed a sticky patch to put in the eyelid crease and voila no drooping eyelids!
My allergies were also worsening my melasma. Getting a robot vacuum REALLY helped. It runs everyday on a schedule. I also launder my bedding more often because of pets.
Boy!!! You sound professional to a very large degree without selling something or creating a long winded video to discuss your ancestry, experience and relations with celebrities. I liked it....
Cucumbers actually reduce inflammation. I eat them to reduce inflammation in my body. I have a severe case of inflammation so ive done this. My body moves with less pain because the inflammation is down. If i can feel it inside my body it makes sense it would work on the outside of my body too. I would suggest mashing a cucumber to get the juices out of them then soak the eyes in the mash instead of using slices because with the contours of the eyes slices may not get into every spot.
I appreciate the diagram of the fat pushing out underneath the eye. My opthamalogist has talked to me about the surgery, but your visual helped me understand the condition and the surgery. My eye bags are caused by genetics but eating a high salt meal definitely makes them swell even larger! I am considering elevating my bed with bricks under the headboard legs...Thank you.
I have them & they are hereditary. I sleep with my head elevated already cuz of back injury & still have them. I have noticed when I put tea bags on them it helps a little but so far that's the only thing I've noticed to help. I don't eat salt at all. Never did. My mom never gave it to me & I can't eat any food with too much in it. Very sensitive to it.
@@coolmint2835 eyelidswere ok’d by medicare, but the bags were considered cosmetic which I paid out of pocket $4,000. All done under same eye plastic surgeon and one anesthetic....was done in Fresno Calif 8 years ago. At Eye-Q. O one believes I am almost 80. P.M. me andI will show photos
I had a Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty (finally at age 65) in November 2019 and apart from having two beautiful children, it was the best thing I had ever done. I had an Endoscopic Brow Lift 1 year later in November 2020. In reality, it takes a knife or a needle to remove or improve one’s cosmetic concerns. Now my eyes are complete! I absolutely love the results! Next stop-not plastic surgery but I am going to have my eyebrows microbladed.
@@ivymenchavez9434 Yes, the lower eyelid blepharoplasty. I had some pockets and dark circles and now they are 💯% gone. What a pleasure! You can apply for Care Credit and most doctors will accept that, gives you some breathing room depending on what plan the doctor’s office accepts. Where I live plastic surgery is actually reasonable and I have a wonderful plastic surgeon!😀
I am 13! Yes 13 and I struggle with eye bags this was a great helpful video and I will try to use these tactics more. I think the main problem may be that when I was younger I would sleep with no pillow at all and only use my arm but now I'm trying to get into the habit of using them again
Greeting from South Africa. May God Bless you with all the desires of your heart for making this video. It's a blessing to me. I am definitely going to do a Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, because Under Eye Bags make me look 10 - 15 years older than I am. My main cause has been scratching my eyes, whenever I have a allergy, from when I was 10 years old. They started showing when I was 42 years old. Now I am 52 years old and they make me look way older than I am. To those who don't have Eye Bags yet, please stop scratching your eyes. That will help to delay them from showing up.
Ask a geriatric physician....they can tell in a second.......eating deli? Swollen ankles are serious as....dare I say...a heart attack. Took my dad when he had swollen ankles. Good doctor, said one word, posed as a question.... deli? Uhhh, yes.
Also I used to put cold things under my eyes to get that "soothe" feeling but I noticed it was making my eye darker and a little bit more puffy. I think it was due to the cold stopping circulation and the warmth keeps that circulation going. I stopped cold compressing and doing a little bit of acupressure and my under eye area became more aesthetically pleasing for me.
Friends of mine went to a hospital in Bangkok to have this surgery because it was much cheaper than in America. I thought they were a bit silly but the surgery worked.
Wow I've used retinol products under my eyes for a few months now thinking I've been doing the right thing. I have noticed slight worsening of my dry eyes but never correlated it to my retinol creams. Just hope I haven't caused any permanent damage 😭😭
I've noticed that the lack of the proper amount of daily sleep(for me) is the main cause of my under eye bags. If I get less than 6 hours per night or if the sleep is broken(waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle) then my under eye area is negatively affected.
Interesting video. I'm a physician myself but as we all know its too easy to overlook important issues in other specialties. I did not realize that some of those tightening creams could be seriously bad leading to dry eye disease. That said use for say a special occasion - in other words infrequent use - probably lowers the risk of serious issues. I've heard of people using preparation H - same stuff used for hemorrhoids elsewhere in the body - I was wondering whether this was harmful too created the same issues. Your thoughts on careful and occasional use of these creams etc would be appreciated. Thanks for an excellent tutorial.
Hey thanks for asking. I have heard the preparation H trick too. It seems plausible to help, however, if it hasn't been tested and we don't have clinical evidence to back it up - and that use would be off label, I caution away from it. I will have to look more closely at the ingredients to see if there is anything in it that could cause problems to the eyelids long term.
Cucumbers reduce swelling. Effective on swollen ankle sprains for one. I had 4 wasp bites on the back of my hand. 3 days of swelling and itch. I finally used a few slices placed on the swelling wrapped with cellophane. The swelling was vastly reduced and I could see my knuckles again after 45 minutes. My thought was no wonder they used this for the eyes years ago. Try it yourselves
I'm 75 & wore contact lenses from age 15 to my thirties, when I had an early form of "lasik", i.e. radial kerotomy, which allowed me to go without corrective lenses, at least partially! However, I always felt that the decades of pulling down my eyelids to insert contacts, led me to have premature 'baggy eyelids'! So, I believe other factors, beside heredity, can affect the tightness of your eyelids!
Could you please elaborate on the problem of dry eyes caused by the use of creams like Retin A, as you quickly mentioned on this video. Thank you very much.
Favourite part of the video was learning how to prevent eye bags as much as possible and the tips that help reduce it even if it isn’t all the way reduced
Can you elaborate on the surgery itself pease? How straightforward is it? Is it under general anesthesia? How long does it take? Are there complications? How long does it take to recover and see improvements? Any before and after photos would help too! Thank you!
Thankyou for all your kind advice.... When a person has been through trauma, abuse any excruciating painful stuff.... I recall you mentioned the affect on one's vision, so obviously puffy eyes also play a part... my question is can there be full recovery does it depend on age?....
Trauma can play a lot of roles on the eyes, trauma directly to the eye can result in tissue damage and therefore swollen eyes such as in the case of a black eye. Severe enough trauma can damage the orbit which can lead to muscle and nerve damage which can often lead to double vision. In both of these cases, the tissue does often heal over time, even for nerve damage - this can heal over the course of 6 months or so. Swelling of the eyelids usually resolves over a few days to weeks due to trauma, but obviously, better with treatment (like cold compresses). What I find most fascinating is how trauma can lead to hysterical amblyopia - which is where even though your eyes see just fine, your mind makes you think you are seeing blurry (or not at all). Crazy how powerful the mind can be.
How to get rid of puffy eyes: Lower salt intake Cold compresses Do not rub your eyes. Surgery. Do not use eye cream on the eye lids, especially retinoids. Protect your eye skin area: big hats, sunglasses, spf.
Does retinaldehyde cause the same kind of damage in the eye area as retinol? Also, aren’t the preservatives in the eye drops also a risk for causing dry eye issues?
I had bags that were just a little kind of puff. I noticed when I stopped using alot of my face products and started just a good retinoid ( I have sensitive skin so I use kinami7 retinoid) this helps collagen and isn't applied under my eye but my face only. It has improved my skin texture and my face looks more youthful ( glow, less sagging and brighter) this I guess helped tighten the under eye skin and now I look like I have 8 hours sleep a night lol
Thanks for the graphic depiction of why I've developed a set of luggage under my eyes as I aged, as I never had any sign of bags when younger. Hard pass on the surgery though, my fear of it from past experience is far greater than any vanity I still have left! lol

What about when you have natural under eye bags? I've had them my whole entire life. No matter what, they're always there. If I use a cold compress, does it last all day? Or do I need to keep using it? I'm tired of folks asking if I'm tired or what happened to my eyes.
Thanks for ur videos!! I’ve used collagen eye masks for a while now & it rlly helps w my dark eye circles / eyebags ! 🤩 can u do a video on the best astigmatism contact lense brands?
You can get rid of astigmatism easily by rubbing castor oil on your upper and lower eye lids. I was diagnosed with and astigmatism and wore the contact lense for that and they always irritated my eyes for as long as I wore them. I started doing the castor oil treatment and went to another eye doctor months later and he could not see that I had an astigmatism and gave me a regular contact prescription and now I wear contacts that are comfortable again.
what about warm masks? my optometrist told me they’re better for eye strain and can help with the puffiness too by helping the unwanted liquids flow away
Dr. Allen - Fantastic explanation! Greatly appreciate the commentary on avoiding certain ingredients in cosmetics. And, thank you for the @eyesarethestory shoutout!
Hi Doctor, Thank you for your video.☺️ I have two questions : Can taking hyaluronic acid supplements Increase bags under your eyes? Also can collagen supplements help with eye bag? Thank you
I wouldn't use a " frozen spoon " the tissue around the eyes is delicate and the extreme cold on a metal spoon will actually freeze burn the surface, a cold spoon will suffice, just saying .

(you will have to pay for an O.R., otherwise upper lids are done in the surgeon's office).
My friend picked me up to go home, and I looked into her rear view mirror,... and I was shocked that my bulges were GONE.
You can decide which procedure you will want, but there are two. One is to excise fat from the outside of the lid. The other is to do it from the inside thus no cutting of the lower eye muscle - which is what I did. Study up on it to make your VERY VEST decision, .. and I wish you MUCH HAPPINESS!!!! 😍
How much did that cost
Me too 😕
I'm 43 and got Ulcerative Colitis last year. I lost around 100lbs in 4 months and I now have very noticeable bags under my eyes. I will try these techniques. Thanks!
Too bad about the Colitis but your body probably looks great now!!
UC sucks. It causes so much problems in silence let alone out loud.
Bless you, doc, for suggesting an ice pack for itchy eyes. I've had lifelong allergies and my mother was always telling me "don't rub your eyes!" that but the relentless itching without relief was maddening. 🤩 And I've finally learned what the tiny blisters are on the rim of my eyelids: blocked Meibomian glands. Interesting. I get them from wearing waterproof mascara.
how did you unclog meibonian glands?
@@extravale they appear as tiny blisters on the rim of my eyelid. I wash my hands thoroughly and scrape a fingernail over them to pop them. Sometimes I have to repeat that until they go away.

i heard to wash face and around eyes with tea tree oil soap dont get in eye. ask dr first but my eye dr recomended this and warm compresses are good.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I got an eyebag under my right eye that seems to be caused by something in one of your video's thumnail: "MGD (Dry Eye) Treatment Guide - How to Treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction"
I got those oil deposits yellow sitting under my right eye, it look as if it's swollen as if I got hurt, when I touch my right under eyelid it's hard unlike the one on the left. I'm not sure how to get rid of it. The last time I did consultation few years ago, the practitionner told me it's untreatable. I highly doubt it's untreatable...
I've noticed that if I sleep on my back, I don't get the puffiness under my eyes. If I sleep on my side, then that side gets puffy. I figured it's like lividity, where your fluids pool when you die depending on position of your body at death. It's hard for me to sleep on my back, I even try to slant my upper body up for sinus reasons & find that's even better. As a senior woman on low sodium diet, this is only my observation, no scientific study, but it's free to try at home, no risks.
Glad to see a Dr. Not selling his own products.
Yes that works great ! Your lucky I find it sooooo hard to sleep on my back but I do for a week before an important function so my under eyes look great.
Thanks for sharing Jan!!! Gravity does affect our bodies and its great that you have observed that. Many blessings

If I don't sleep on my back my eyes are terribly swollen in morning. I now sleep on sofa with pillows propping up my head to be elevated. The added support for my hips to lean into the back of sofa, helps keep me comfortable. And the arm of the sofa keeps my head elevated.
Finally someone being truthful and honest.
Under eye bags can be hereditary. It ran in our family. Noticing the fat pockets starting to protrude in my mid twenties, I had my under eye fat removed by a plastic surgeon. Best decision. As my sister aged, I was so glad I didn’t have the bags she had. Once the fat was removed, it never came back. That was 35 years ago.
Was it an expensive procedure? I need this done

Very impressed with your video. As an Ophthalmic Technician for over 20 years, who works with an Ophthalmologist who specializes in Levator Advancement surgery and an expert on dry eye, I agree almost 100% with the information you provided. However, I do need to make mention of a more minimally invasive procedure call laser lower lid resurfacing that works absolutely incredible! I do suggest your patients and follower only see a board certified Ophthalmologist for consultation. In my experience, general plastic surgeons are slightly less experienced with lid skin and tend to be a bit more radical with their fat removal. Thank you for your time. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for an honest and realistic answer to what is a problem for me. I'm 80, and I've been lucky genetically that my face and skin have stayed quite firm. I had cataract surgery and after the surgery suddenly I ended up with these bags under my eyes. I've been going crazy buying all kinds of things that do not work. Now, after your video, I'll use the salt free and cold compress method to minimize it and if it doesn't satisfy me enough I'll look into having the corrective under eye surgery. Your channel is a huge help
But what explains getting them only after cataract surgery?

You are much smarter and aware than all the other physicians who have posted videos on this subject on RUclips. Your point about the skin under the eye helps a lot. Using an ice pack under my left eye less than 3 minutes has already lowered my eye puffiness by 100%. Thanks a Million!!👍👍

@@cynthiagreske5957Yes OP is probably lying because using ice doesn’t magically remove eye bags the only way to fully remove them is with surgery
Thank you so much for your advice on this issue. I just recently noticed that I had a more pronounced eye bag under one of my eyes than the other. I have decided to cut back my salt intake and get into a better sleeping routine. It’s funny because the day I found your video I had taken out a cooling mask I had in my refrigerator and promised myself I was going to try it that night. Thanks again for all your advice.
Thanks. I have known for some time, I need an upper eye lift, because my hooded eye lids are weighing down my eyelashes into my line of vision. Plus, I learned years ago, the only real solution to my under eye puffiness is surgery. Add allergies, and I am a mess during peak allergy seasons. Thank for confirmation, on what I already had determined was my best options. I see my eye doctor in a couple weeks to discuss the best person for the procedure. I appreciate your precise and concise delivery, your integrity, and your nice manner. Blessings 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚
Hopefully you did not get surgery yet. I saw on a RUclips commercial where a lady developed a sticky patch to put in the eyelid crease and voila no drooping eyelids!
I've heard and saw some ladies who had blepharoplasty to improve the blockage that lids can cause.
My allergies were also worsening my melasma. Getting a robot vacuum REALLY helped. It runs everyday on a schedule. I also launder my bedding more often because of pets.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge especially from a doctor. I liked to know that a cold compress will help with the puffy eyes.
Cucumbers actually reduce inflammation. I eat them to reduce inflammation in my body. I have a severe case of inflammation so ive done this. My body moves with less pain because the inflammation is down. If i can feel it inside my body it makes sense it would work on the outside of my body too. I would suggest mashing a cucumber to get the juices out of them then soak the eyes in the mash instead of using slices because with the contours of the eyes slices may not get into every spot.
This was so simply explained and a lot of excellent info. THANK YOU!
Thank you!!!!

Dear Dr. Allen, fantastic explanations - thorough, concise and honest! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much John!
I appreciate the diagram of the fat pushing out underneath the eye. My opthamalogist has talked to me about the surgery, but your visual helped me understand the condition and the surgery. My eye bags are caused by genetics but eating a high salt meal definitely makes them swell even larger! I am considering elevating my bed with bricks under the headboard legs...Thank you.
I have them & they are hereditary. I sleep with my head elevated already cuz of back injury & still have them. I have noticed when I put tea bags on them it helps a little but so far that's the only thing I've noticed to help. I don't eat salt at all. Never did. My mom never gave it to me & I can't eat any food with too much in it. Very sensitive to it.

HI Doc thanks for the update and information about the eyes.
I had a Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty (finally at age 65) in November 2019 and apart from having two beautiful children, it was the best thing I had ever done. I had an Endoscopic Brow Lift 1 year later in November 2020. In reality, it takes a knife or a needle to remove or improve one’s cosmetic concerns. Now my eyes are complete! I absolutely love the results! Next stop-not plastic surgery but I am going to have my eyebrows microbladed.
does the eyelid blepharoplasty is the only thing that will be very effective to remove eyebags? but it's so expensive 😭
@@ivymenchavez9434 Yes, the lower eyelid blepharoplasty. I had some pockets and dark circles and now they are 💯% gone. What a pleasure! You can apply for Care Credit and most doctors will accept that, gives you some breathing room depending on what plan the doctor’s office accepts. Where I live plastic surgery is actually reasonable and I have a wonderful plastic surgeon!😀

I am 13! Yes 13 and I struggle with eye bags this was a great helpful video and I will try to use these tactics more. I think the main problem may be that when I was younger I would sleep with no pillow at all and only use my arm but now I'm trying to get into the habit of using them again
most probably you're over reacting to your eye bags, exit this marketing trap

Use ice cube it’s really helpful because I’m using

at your age it's probably salt. I bet you have over 3000 MG of salt. It should be more like 1500. So check that out with potassium and magnesium
Thank you for your informative video
Greeting from South Africa. May God Bless you with all the desires of your heart for making this video. It's a blessing to me. I am definitely going to do a Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, because Under Eye Bags make me look 10 - 15 years older than I am. My main cause has been scratching my eyes, whenever I have a allergy, from when I was 10 years old. They started showing when I was 42 years old. Now I am 52 years old and they make me look way older than I am. To those who don't have Eye Bags yet, please stop scratching your eyes. That will help to delay them from showing up.
Great video. Very precisely explained! Thanks!
Eating a lot of salty foods causes you to retain water and leads to swelling.👍
SO TRUE!!!
Ask a geriatric physician....they can tell in a second.......eating deli? Swollen ankles are serious as....dare I say...a heart attack.
Took my dad when he had swollen ankles. Good doctor, said one word, posed as a question.... deli? Uhhh, yes.

Raisins and unsalted Pistachios will reduce your salt levels.
Perfectly said..
Myself have eyes bags. Love your advice
Also I used to put cold things under my eyes to get that "soothe" feeling but I noticed it was making my eye darker and a little bit more puffy. I think it was due to the cold stopping circulation and the warmth keeps that circulation going. I stopped cold compressing and doing a little bit of acupressure and my under eye area became more aesthetically pleasing for me.
How do you do acupressure ?
Yes pls tell us

Friends of mine went to a hospital in Bangkok to have this surgery because it was much cheaper than in America. I thought they were a bit silly but the surgery worked.
Sounds awesome! It is true, medicine and surgery is more expensive here (many factors play into that)
Wow I've used retinol products under my eyes for a few months now thinking I've been doing the right thing. I have noticed slight worsening of my dry eyes but never correlated it to my retinol creams. Just hope I haven't caused any permanent damage 😭😭
Oh no!!! Maybe find an eye doctor who has a miebography scanner? They could possibly take a screening and determine where you are at.

Thank you for all your great information. I am in my 60's and about 5 years ago I decided surgery was the way to go. Still saving!
How much was the estimate for the procedure, if you don’t mind me asking?
Cost me about $4000. You wont regret doing it.
I've noticed that the lack of the proper amount of daily sleep(for me) is the main cause of my under eye bags. If I get less than 6 hours per night or if the sleep is broken(waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle) then my under eye area is negatively affected.
Love that you started with natural treatments and addressed the genetic component
Interesting video. I'm a physician myself but as we all know its too easy to overlook important issues in other specialties. I did not realize that some of those tightening creams could be seriously bad leading to dry eye disease. That said use for say a special occasion - in other words infrequent use - probably lowers the risk of serious issues. I've heard of people using preparation H - same stuff used for hemorrhoids elsewhere in the body - I was wondering whether this was harmful too created the same issues. Your thoughts on careful and occasional use of these creams etc would be appreciated. Thanks for an excellent tutorial.
Hey thanks for asking. I have heard the preparation H trick too. It seems plausible to help, however, if it hasn't been tested and we don't have clinical evidence to back it up - and that use would be off label, I caution away from it. I will have to look more closely at the ingredients to see if there is anything in it that could cause problems to the eyelids long term.
Cucumbers reduce swelling. Effective on swollen ankle sprains for one. I had 4 wasp bites on the back of my hand. 3 days of swelling and itch. I finally used a few slices placed on the swelling wrapped with cellophane. The swelling was vastly reduced and I could see my knuckles again after 45 minutes. My thought was no wonder they used this for the eyes years ago. Try it yourselves
What are your thoughts on why they help?
I'm 75 & wore contact lenses from age 15 to my thirties, when I had an early form of "lasik", i.e. radial kerotomy, which allowed me to go without corrective lenses, at least partially!
However, I always felt that the decades of pulling down my eyelids to insert contacts, led me to have premature 'baggy eyelids'! So, I believe other factors, beside heredity, can affect
the tightness of your eyelids!
You're absolutely right, this is the reason!
I had RK surgery too. It wasn’t the best idea for me. But how could we know back in 1994.
Thx about the info about the creams with retinol
Could you please elaborate on the problem of dry eyes caused by the use of creams like Retin A, as you quickly mentioned on this video. Thank you very much.

Blepharo is local anesthetic so u r awake
Thankyou for all your kind advice.... When a person has been through trauma, abuse any excruciating painful stuff.... I recall you mentioned the affect on one's vision, so obviously puffy eyes also play a part... my question is can there be full recovery does it depend on age?....
Trauma can play a lot of roles on the eyes, trauma directly to the eye can result in tissue damage and therefore swollen eyes such as in the case of a black eye. Severe enough trauma can damage the orbit which can lead to muscle and nerve damage which can often lead to double vision. In both of these cases, the tissue does often heal over time, even for nerve damage - this can heal over the course of 6 months or so. Swelling of the eyelids usually resolves over a few days to weeks due to trauma, but obviously, better with treatment (like cold compresses). What I find most fascinating is how trauma can lead to hysterical amblyopia - which is where even though your eyes see just fine, your mind makes you think you are seeing blurry (or not at all). Crazy how powerful the mind can be.
I really love your honesty and clarity with this video! I've been searching all over for help and this gave me some hope. Thank you!

It has improved my skin texture and my face looks more youthful ( glow, less sagging and brighter) this I guess helped tighten the under eye skin and now I look like I have 8 hours sleep a night lol
