Eye Bag Removal Surgery – For Glowing and Younger Looking Eyes

Eye bags are usually the result of fluid retention caused by eating salty food, changes in weather, and fluctuating hormones, but they can be caused by allergies and lack of sleep. In some cases, eye bags are hereditary. They can also be caused by ageing, especially when the skin on the lower eyelids have sagged. Eye bag removal surgery is a solution for glowing and younger looking eyes. The procedure involves the removal of the excess and loose skin and fatty tissue from the lower eyelids to restore a youthful and fresher appearance to the eyes. Eye bag removal surgery is also known as ‘blepharoplasty’, and it may involve the removal of loose skin and extra tissue from the upper eyelids, too.

You will need an experienced and board-certified cosmetic surgeon who is highly trained in blepharoplasty and facial surgery procedures if you want your eye bags surgically removed. You need to book a consultation with the surgeon to learn if it is the right solution for you. The surgeon will brief you on what is involved, and he will determine if you are fit for surgery or not. Eye bag removal surgery is an invasive procedure that has some risks when performed by an inexperienced and unqualified doctor or surgeon. Hence, it is important to choose only the most experienced cosmetic surgeon who is known for his good track record of successful eye bag removal surgeries for decades.

Take note that the surgery will not remove crow’s feet, wrinkles, and dark circles around your eyes, but the cosmetic surgeon might be able to recommend other procedures for those problems. Eye bag removal surgery can take around two hours, and it is performed under general anaesthesia. Depending on your condition, it may be an outpatient procedure where you will be allowed to go home upon waking up, or you might be required to stay overnight at an accredited hospital. Pain and discomfort are normally felt from three to seven days, but the surgeon may prescribe painkillers to make them more bearable.
