Under-eye bags and dark circles are a widespread concern for many Atlanta residents—whether due to genetics, stress, aging, or the fast-paced lifestyle of the city. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, located in the heart of Buckhead, we specialize in both surgical and non-surgical treatments that target the root causes of under-eye puffiness. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong—one of the few dual board-certified facial plastic surgeons in Atlanta—our practice is devoted exclusively to facial aesthetics, combining advanced medical expertise with an artistic touch. Dr. Stong’s extensive training under world-renowned surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono, his Castle Connolly “Top Doctor” recognition, and more than a decade of service to the Atlanta community set our practice apart. Patients come to Kalos not only for visible results but also for thoughtful guidance, custom treatment planning, and natural-looking rejuvenation that enhances rather than alters their appearance.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Understanding Eye Bags and Under-Eye Circles
Eye bags form when the fat pads beneath the lower eyelids push forward—a condition known as fat pseudoherniation. This results in a bulging appearance that can cast shadows and make the area look darker. While sometimes hereditary, under-eye bags often become more prominent with age due to changes in skin elasticity, collagen loss, and muscle laxity.
In Atlanta’s climate and active urban environment, lifestyle stressors such as allergies, inconsistent sleep, and sun exposure may also contribute to the development of puffiness and discoloration under the eyes.
Eye Bag Treatment Options at Kalos in Atlanta
We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatments, based on the severity of the eye bags and patient preference. Dr. Stong will guide you through the decision-making process, helping you weigh the benefits and longevity of each approach.
Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Injectable Fillers: Smooth under-eye hollows and reduce the contrast between puffiness and surrounding skin.
- Liquid Eye Lift: A customized, non-invasive combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulators for subtle improvement.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: Targets surface texture and pigmentation to brighten the under-eye area.
These are ideal for younger patients in Atlanta with early signs of eye bags or those seeking minimal downtime.
Surgical Treatment:
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A precise surgical technique that repositions or removes excess fat and tightens the skin. Dr. Stong performs each blepharoplasty himself, utilizing advanced methods tailored to the patient’s facial structure.
This procedure is especially effective for more pronounced puffiness, typically seen in patients over 40.

The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours and is performed in-office or at an accredited surgical center near our Buckhead location.
Incisions are placed inside the lower eyelid or discreetly along the lash line to minimize visible scarring.
During your consultation, Dr. Stong will evaluate the cause of your under-eye concern—whether it’s volume loss, fat protrusion, or skin laxity—and recommend the best treatment option.
Eye bag treatments are generally considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. We offer financing options for qualified patients.
