Are your eyebags making you look older than you are? Do they cause you to seem like you never get enough rest and sleep, even though you do? The good news is that there is a cosmetic procedure that can remove your eye bags as well as smoothen the skin around your eyes. Eye bag removal or eyelid surgery—also known as blepharoplasty—is a procedure that is done to remove unwanted skin from the lower and upper eyelids. This procedure can get rid of eye bags as well as hooded eyelids. It involves the removal of excess fatty tissue and loose skin, and when done successfully, can give you a more youthful and fresher look.
There are three types of blepharoplasty surgery:
1. Lower blepharoplasty – This is done along the lower eyelid’s crease line or through the conjunctiva. If you are concerned only about fat eye bags, no skin removal is required.
2. Upper blepharoplasty – This is performed along the upper eyelid’s crease line.
3. Lower and upper blepharoplasty – In this type of surgery, both procedures are done together.
An eye bag removal surgery usually takes around two hours, and it is performed using general anaesthesia. It can be done as a day case, although sometimes, patients need to stay overnight. You may experience discomfort and pain for around three to seven days, but it will be minimal. Suture strips are applied after the surgery to support the eyelids, and they are usually taken off after five days.
Are the results permanent?
It is safe to say that the results of an eye bag removal surgery are long-lasting. It’s important to note, however, that although a surgery has been done, the aging process still continues and the wrinkling and loosening of the skin may recur.
