At this time, they will undergo fat filling cosmetic surgery. Therefore, those who want to remove eye bags should understand the most effective surgery to remove eye bags.

The best way to remove eye bags surgically

There are many ways to treat eye bags, but in most cases, only surgery can produce ideal results. There are two classic methods of eye bag removal surgery: external incision eye bag surgery and internal incision eye bag surgery:

External incision blepharoplasty: The incision is made along the lower edge of the lower eyelashes to the lateral canthal groove, and the bulging eye bag fat is removed after separation through the incision. At the same time, the lower eyelid is tightened, excess skin is removed, and the wrinkles on the lower eyelid are smoothed. The incision of this method is concealed, and it is difficult to see the incision mark after 1-2 months of healing, and there is basically no trace of surgery after 3-6 months. This method is mainly suitable for people aged 30-40 or above who, in addition to fat accumulation under the eyes, also have more obvious crow's feet or sagging skin. Advantages of this method: While removing fat under the eyes, it can also remove most wrinkles and sagging skin.

Internal incision blepharoplasty: also known as eye bag liposuction, is a popular eye bag surgery among young people. Because the approach is through the conjunctiva, there is no incision on the skin surface, which is very popular. The surgery involves removing the fat under the eye bags through a small incision in the conjunctival sac of the lower eyelid. This method is mainly suitable for people aged 20-30 or below who only have bulging eye bags but no obvious wrinkles or sagging skin. The advantages of this method are: first, there will be no scars on the facial skin, which is an absolutely "invisible" surgery; second, the recovery is quick and basically does not affect work and life.

Postoperative care for eye bags is also very important. Congestion and edema around the eyes are common after surgery. Apply local cold compresses for two days after surgery, and switch to hot compresses after the third day. This can reduce the degree of congestion and edema and help the edema subside. After external incision blepharoplasty, the orbicularis oculi relaxes and loses its normal tension. Mild ectropion may occur in a short period of time after the operation. This condition usually returns to normal 2-3 months after the operation.
