How to remove eye bags and tear grooves

Having bags under the eyes will seriously affect a person's appearance and make him look particularly old. So now many people go to the hospital for treatment to remove eye bags. You must also be careful when removing eye bags, because removing eye bags may affect the tear trough. So you must pay attention. It is not simply to remove the fat in the eye bags. You must take care of the tear trough to avoid adverse effects.

Targeted treatment

1. Fat eye bags

The fat of the orbital septum fascia of the lower eyelid swells, breaking through the limit of the lower eyelid and protruding outside the orbit, forming a lower eyelid bag-like deformity.

2. Relaxed eye bags

Simple sagging of the lower eyelid and outer canthus skin, but no orbital septum sagging, so no orbital fat protrusion, accompanied by fine wrinkles around the eyes.

3. Mixed eye bags

I have eye bags caused by bulging orbital fat, and my lower eyelid skin is loose.

4. Tear Trough Eye Bags

Eye bags are formed gradually due to the sagging of fat layer and relaxation of muscle layer.

5. Edema type eye bags

A temporary type of eye bag. Puffy eyes are caused by drinking a lot of water before going to bed at night, which leads to swollen lower eyelids when you wake up the next day. They are commonly known as false eye bags.

6. Those are bags under the eyes, not eye bags

Some people have hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which they mistakenly think are eye bags, but in fact they are the "eye bags" that everyone else desires to have.

What are the surgical methods for removing eye bags?

1. Internal approach to eye bag removal

[Technical principle] Removal of bulging fat through the conjunctiva of the eyelid

[Technical advantages] The incision is tiny; it also improves skin sagging.

[Indications] Young people with good skin elasticity and slight skin sagging.

2. External approach to eye bag removal

[Technical Principle] An incision is made under the eyelash root to ensure that fat is removed with minimal trauma, and at the same time, excess sagging eye skin is removed to restore firmness.

[Technical advantages] No surgical traces; improve skin sagging and eliminate fine lines in the eye bags area.

[Indications] Suitable for patients with eye bags and sagging skin.

After about a week or a month of removing eye bags through the external approach, you will see a thin line on the lower eyelid edge. This is the incision line. As time goes by, the incision line will become very faint.

3. Release the orbital septum to remove eye bags and fill the tear grooves

[Technical principle] Generally, the external incision method is used

The external incision method removes the orbital fat, which not only removes the fat from the eye bags, but also uses the autologous fat from the eye bags to fill the aging appearance caused by the sunken eyes.

[Technical advantages] Remove eye bags, repair loose eyelid tissues; smooth lower eyelid grooves, repair eye socket depressions; remove wrinkles in the eye bag area.

[Indications] Lower eyelid bags in middle-aged and elderly people, accompanied by sunken tear troughs.

Warm reminder: Eye bag removal surgery is an outpatient procedure and does not require hospitalization. The operation takes about an hour and you can go home by yourself after the operation without being accompanied by someone. Generally, the dressing is changed every 2 to 3 days after surgery, the stitches are removed after 7 days, and the patient needs to be covered with gauze for about 3 days. The recovery period varies from person to person, and female patients need to avoid the menstrual period.
