Ageing or Puffy Eyes
Ageing or puffy eyes can create a tired appearance, often caused by changes in skin elasticity, fat distribution, or fluid retention around the eyes.
The delicate skin around the eyes is among the first areas to show signs of ageing. Over time, collagen and elastin diminish, skin becomes thinner, and fat pads beneath the eyes may shift or protrude, creating puffiness or bags.
For some, this fullness is genetic; for others, it develops gradually with age or lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, fluid retention, or sun exposure. These changes can make the eyes look tired even when one feels well-rested, often contributing to a loss of facial vitality and balance.
What Patients Typically Notice
Patients often describe that they “look tired all the time,” even after adequate rest. They may notice puffiness in the lower eyelids, sagging skin, or dark circles that makeup no longer conceals effectively. Others express frustration that their eyes appear smaller or heavier, or that their expression seems less alert than it once was. These subtle shifts can affect both appearance and confidence.
The AvenueMD Approach
Every AvenueMD journey begins with a careful consultation to assess the anatomy of the eyelids and surrounding areas. Our multidisciplinary team considers whether puffiness, volume loss, or skin laxity or pigmentation is the primary factor, then designs a plan tailored to your goals.
By combining surgical precision, dermatologic insight, and advanced skin optimization, AvenueMD restores brightness and balance to the eyes — helping you look refreshed while maintaining your natural expression.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes Puffy Or Tired-Looking Eyes?
Common causes include aging, genetics, fluid retention, allergies, or weakened skin and muscle support beneath the eyes. These factors often combine to create puffiness or shadowing.
Can Eye Bags Be Treated Without Surgery?
Yes. Depending on the cause, non-surgical treatments can reduce puffiness, improve texture, minimize pigment, add volume and brighten the under-eye area. Your provider will determine the best approach during consultation.
Will Surgery Make My Eyes Look Different?
At AvenueMD, the goal is to refresh, not change, your appearance. Eyelid procedures are performed with precision to maintain your natural expression while restoring a rested look.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results vary depending on the treatment, but many patients enjoy long-term improvement. Surgical results can last for years, while non-surgical treatments may require periodic maintenance.
Is Recovery Painful?
Recovery will depend on the nature of the procedure performed. Discomfort is typically mild and short-lived for non surgical treatments. Most patients describe only temporary swelling or tightness piand your provider will ensure your recovery is supported at every step.
