This is incredibly dependent on several factors. However, generally speaking, the bags are caused from excess eye fat that pooches forward over time. This fat is either conservatively removed or transferred to a new position to create a smooth under eye contour. I recommend you see a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to see what would work best for you.

Hi, and thanks for your question!
Facelifts are indicated for many things, but mostly deal with sagging tissues in the midface, jawline, and neck. The term "mini" usually means a shorter incision which is useful for people without significant stretched skin in the neck. At 45 years old, this may be an option for you. My recommendation would be to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon that you trust to go over your options in person and develop a customized plan.

Thanks for your question! Eyelid surgery can be done in multiple ways depending on the needs of the patient. Typically, upper lid skin is removed and any excess fat can be addressed. The lower lid is most often addressed with an internal incision to avoid a scar. Excess fat is removed and then the skin can be laser removed to improve its appearance.

Thanks for your question. A septoplasty, by definition, only changes the shape of the wall that divides the two sides of the nose. Sometimes, straightening a septum can straighten the overall shape of the nose if that's what is causing the deviation. Traditionally, a "rhinoplasty" is necessary to reshape the outside of a nose.
