What are the sequelae of eye bag removal?

Eye bags are a condition in our eyes, mostly caused by staying up late and work and rest problems. Eye bags can be eliminated. In addition to repairing them through some facial masks and adjusting our work and rest schedules, we can also perform some eye bag removal surgeries. Eye bag removal has certain sequelae, but most people don’t know about it. So what are the sequelae of eye bag removal?

Loosening and atrophy of the eyelid skin and edema of the connective tissue under the eyes can cause bags under the eyes. Eye bags can be divided into two categories: congenital and acquired. Congenital eye bags are not effectively treated with conservative treatment and can only be corrected through surgery. Most people's eye bags are acquired. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of eye bags is weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, the treatment of acquired eye bags requires strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, fundamentally eliminating the soil that causes eye bags.

Based on the causes, eye bags can be divided into two categories: congenital and acquired. The former is mostly caused by insufficient strength and elasticity of the fibrous connective tissue around the orbit. However, most people's eye bags are acquired, which is related to factors such as improper massage, frequent tears, frequent eyeliner application, and staying up late.

Bleeding occurred due to improper patient care after eye bag removal surgery. Improper postoperative care can often lead to bleeding and bruising of the upper and lower eyelids, eyeballs, and even behind the eyeballs, and in severe cases can affect vision. Therefore, those who love beauty should choose regular medical institutions just in case.

After eye bag removal surgery, the eyelids may be ectropion and eyelid-bulb separation may occur, resulting in adverse reactions such as photophobia, tearing and eye discomfort. This is mainly related to excessive skin removal during skin incision or too tight suture of related tissues during suturing. This is one of the more serious side effects of eye bag removal surgery.

The eye bags on both sides are not corrected symmetrically after eye bag removal surgery: The sequelae of this eye bag removal surgery are mostly due to the fat removal from the inner eye incision without considering the relaxation of the skin and muscles, or too much fat and orbicularis oculi muscle are removed, resulting in sunken eye sockets.

The formation of eye bags is caused by many factors: heredity, loose orbital septum causing orbital fat to prolapse due to gravity, and eye fatigue, etc. Eye bags in young people are mostly caused by genetic factors, while those in middle-aged and elderly people are caused by natural sagging of the skin, but generally speaking, there is not much difference in the formation mechanism.
