Surgery to remove lower eye bags

Everyone wants to have big watery eyes, but in reality, many people have serious eye bags. Especially after drinking water at night, the eye bags are particularly obvious. Many people choose to use surgery to remove eye bags, but before doing surgery to remove eye bags, you need to fully understand eye bags, and you need to understand the reasons that affect the severity of eye bags, and the impact after surgical removal of eye bags. Below is a detailed explanation of these, I hope you can learn from and adopt them.

The main surgical procedures for removing lower eyelid bags are endo-incision and exo-incision, and the plastic surgery technique is incisional cosmetic surgery.

Understanding eye bags

Skin aging usually begins at age 30 and becomes more obvious with age. The aging rate has obvious individual differences and is affected by the combined effects of internal and external environmental factors.

The eyelid skin is one of the thinnest parts of the human body, and the eyes are the most exposed part of the human body, so the aging symptoms of the eyelid skin are most easily detected and receive the most attention. An important sign of aging changes in the lower eyelid is the gradual worsening of eye bags. From the perspective of formation, a new curve appears and the curvature gradually increases. The lower eyelid is connected to the facial skin, separated by a not-so-obvious buccal palpebral groove. With the increase of age and the continuous effect of gravity, the skin of the lower eyelid becomes loose, the supporting force of the orbital septum decreases, the orbital septum prolapses, and the tension of the orbicularis oculi muscle decreases, forming a bag-like bulge above the lower edge of the orbit and deepening the buccal palpebral groove. This is the so-called eye bag.

Causes of eye bags

Generally speaking, loose eyelid skin and muscles, bulging orbital fat and loose tarsal plates are often caused by age factors, but hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi muscle and bulging orbital fat can be caused by congenital factors. The surgical age for eye bags caused by congenital factors is generally earlier, around 20 years old, while the surgical age for lax deformity caused by age factors is usually after 25-30 years old.

Treatment of eye bags

If eye bags have formed and do not improve on their own, this indicates that the formation of eye bags is due to pathological changes in tissue structure; this property can only be corrected through cosmetic surgery. The pathological basis of the formation of eye bags has been mentioned earlier. Therefore, the principle of eye bag correction is to remove some excess orbital fat, tighten the orbital septum to enhance its support, shorten the orbicularis oculi muscle to increase its tension, and remove excess skin to eliminate wrinkles. Of course, eye bags can manifest in different forms. For example, some cases are mainly characterized by a bulging appearance, some are mainly characterized by a wrinkled appearance, and some are mainly characterized by a deepening of the cheek-eye groove. Therefore, there are different manifestations, which can be corrected with corresponding methods.
