Puffy Eyelids Annapolis, MD

Diminish puffiness and under-eye bags with tailored solutions that restore clarity, definition, and balance to your gaze.

Restore Lightness to a Heavy Look

Under-eye puffiness can subtly alter the way others perceive your energy—making you appear fatigued, aged, or less alert than you feel. Whether the cause is genetics, shifting fat pads, or natural collagen decline, puffiness doesn’t have to define your expression. At Adoro Medical Spa, Dr. Pacheco offers precision-based eyelid rejuvenation that reawakens your natural contours—thoughtfully, conservatively, and always with your unique features in mind.

Why Puffiness Happens—And When to Treat It

The eye area changes early and often. With time, the supportive fat pads beneath the eyelids may shift forward, skin loses elasticity, and volume changes can exaggerate the appearance of fullness. In other cases, fluid retention, lifestyle habits, or inherited traits can lead to puffiness that appears even in youth.

While occasional swelling may fade on its own, chronic puffiness or under-eye bags often require more targeted care to restore definition and harmony.

Refined Treatments for Under-Eye Puffiness

Dr. Pacheco’s approach is rooted in balance—restoring smooth, natural contours without ever appearing overdone. Each treatment is chosen based on the cause of puffiness and your overall facial structure, ensuring results that feel seamless and subtle.

Your personalized plan may include:

Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): For more prominent puffiness, surgical correction gently repositions or removes excess fat and tightens skin to reveal a smoother, more open eye area.
Filler for Volume Balance: When puffiness is heightened by volume loss nearby, careful filler placement can soften the transition and reduce the appearance of bags.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening: Non-surgical collagen stimulation can firm the skin and reduce early puffiness or crepiness.
Lymphatic Drainage & Skincare Strategies: When puffiness is related to fluid retention or inflammation, therapeutic skincare and circulatory support can improve tone and reduce swelling over time.

Precision Meets Restraint

Not every under-eye concern requires a dramatic solution. At Adoro, Dr. Pacheco combines her surgical expertise with an artist’s eye—offering results that enhance your natural features without ever looking artificial. With over 25 years of experience as an oculoplastic surgeon, her reputation is built on beautifully understated outcomes that age gracefully alongside you.

Puffy Eyelids FAQ

What’s the difference between puffiness and under-eye hollows?

Puffiness is caused by fat protrusion or fluid accumulation, while hollows result from volume loss. In some cases, both occur simultaneously and require a blended approach.

Can puffiness be treated without surgery?

Yes. Mild puffiness may improve with non-invasive skin tightening, strategic fillers, or medical-grade skincare. Surgery is ideal for structural fat displacement or skin redundancy.

Will I look like myself after treatment?

Absolutely. The goal is refinement—not change. Every decision is made to enhance your natural features, keeping your expression intact and your results undetectably elegant.

How long do results last?

Surgical results often last a decade or longer. Non-surgical improvements, such as fillers or tightening treatments, may require maintenance every 6–12 months.

What should I expect after surgery?

Recovery includes mild swelling or bruising for about 7–10 days. Most patients return to social activities within two weeks, with results continuing to improve as healing progresses.
