What is the whole process of eye bag removal surgery like?

The appearance of bags under the eyes is generally due to the following two reasons. The first is that as we age, our skin becomes thinner, causing a certain amount of fat to accumulate, leading to the appearance of bags under the eyes. The second is genetic factors, etc. Therefore, almost everyone cannot avoid the appearance of bags under the eyes. Then we can use surgery to remove bags under the eyes. What is the whole process like?

Eye bags can generally be divided into two categories: true and false eye bags. Pseudo eyebags are more common in young people and are mainly caused by genetic factors. The manifestation is hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi muscle of the lower eyelid, but the skin and muscles are not relaxed, and the fat behind the orbital septum is not hypertrophic. The bags under the eyes are just the ring-shaped protrusions of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which are particularly obvious when smiling.

True eye bags will appear with age, physical weakness, multiple diseases, and excessive fatigue in life and work, which will cause the skin to loosen, subcutaneous fat to decrease, and the fat behind the orbital cheeks to protrude from the lower eyelids and appear bag-like. Age, the degree and strength of facial expression muscle activity will have a certain impact on the degree of relaxation of the skin and muscles and the degree of protrusion of the fat behind the orbital cheeks, resulting in different manifestations and degrees of eye bags.

Surgical correction of eye bags is to use surgical methods and techniques to remove part of the sagging skin of the lower eyelid, the orbicularis oculi muscle and the fat mass protruding from the orbital compartment, and then suture them layer by layer very finely and accurately to achieve good surgical results.

Currently, there are two main methods for surgical correction of eye bags: one is intraocular fat removal. That is, a small incision is made in the lower eyelid fornix, and then the fat is removed from behind the orbital septum, and then the dome incision is sutured. The biggest advantage of this method is that it does not require skin incision and is relatively simple. This method is only suitable for young people whose lower eyelid skin and orbicularis oculi muscle are not relaxed and who only have protruding fat behind the orbital septum. Because of the small incision inside the eye and the small surgical area, bleeding should be stopped carefully and carefully after fat removal, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous if bleeding occurs. This is the most serious complication of this method. At the same time, this method is not suitable for the treatment of true and false eye bags, so the indications are very limited and strict skills must be mastered.

The second method is to make an incision and peel the skin at the lower eyelid margin to remove part of the orbicularis oculi muscle and retroseptal fat. The biggest advantage of this method is that it is suitable for any type of eye bags and can achieve immediate results. The only drawback is that it may leave scars, especially for those with scar-prone constitutions. In addition, the degree of skin incision and fat removal should be controlled to avoid unnecessary complications.

Generally, it is not easy to recur except for the first time when the skin of the eye bags, the orbicularis oculi muscle and the fat behind the orbital septum are not removed enough. Because after adulthood, the human body's adipose tissue is mainly composed of hypertrophy of fat cells, and the number of fat cells will not increase.

Now everyone should know how surgery can help us remove eye bags. In fact, if you want to stay young, removing eye bags is a very good surgery. Eye bags can easily cause us to feel tired and old. However, if you want to remove eye bags, it is recommended to choose a regular hospital.
