At Live Young Wellness Spa and Flower Mound Plastic Surgery, we commonly consult with patients in regards to their under-eyes. Dark circles, hollowness, puffiness, and fine lines can make you look more tired than you feel and sometimes, skincare products alone just aren’t enough.
Two of effective treatment options for addressing this area are PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections and lower blepharoplasty surgery. While both can rejuvenate your look, they work in very different ways. Here’s how to know which might be right for you.
What PRF Can Do for the Under Eyes
PRF is a non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to naturally stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.
- Best Candidates: Patients with mild dark circles, fine lines, or crepey under-eye skin.
- How It Works: A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and then injected under the eyes to promote healing, tissue regeneration, and collagen production.
- Pros: 100% natural, stimulates/rejuvenates the skin, mild/moderate downtime.
- Cons: Results are gradual and require a series of treatments; not effective for significant bags or loose skin.
At Live Young Wellness Spa, our providers specialize in PRF to gently rejuvenate the under-eye area, leaving you looking refreshed.
What Lower Blepharoplasty Can Do
Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed by our board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell at Flower Mound Plastic Surgery.
- Best Candidates: Patients with under-eye bags, puffiness, or sagging skin that can’t be corrected with non-surgical options.
- How It Works: Excess fat and skin are carefully removed or repositioned, creating a smoother, more youthful under-eye contour. This is the gold standard option for patients who want long-lasting correction of under-eye bags or drooping skin.
- Pros: Dramatic, permanent results that address both puffiness and skin laxity.
- Cons: Involves surgery, recovery time, and is a larger investment compared to PRF.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Both PRF and lower blepharoplasty can restore youthfulness under the eyes, but the right choice depends on your needs and goals:
- If your concern is mild dark circles, fine lines, or crepey skin, and you prefer a non-invasive approach then PRF may be your best fit.
- If you struggle with noticeable puffiness, fat pads, or loose skin and want permanent results, than a lower blepharoplasty is likely the right choice.
