As we age the upper and lower eye bags can develop bags, folds or wrinkles
that can make you look tired adding years to the whole face.
An eye bag removal procedure can effectively address this problem where
loose skin, surplus fatty tissue and relaxed muscle in the eyelids are removed
to tighten the skin. The eye bag removal procedure will make the eyes look
fresher and more youthful by smoothing and firming them up, reducing
the hooded appearance and removing under-eye pouches.

This is one of the safest and most commonly performed cosmetic treatments
which freshen up one's appearance enabling to look younger and more youthful
and is usually performed as a day case. It can also be combined with other
surgical procedures such as a face or brow lift or non-surgical treatments
such as laser skin resurfacing.

These options can be discussed with our surgeons during your consultation.

The procedure for eye bag removal surgery

• Upper: The incision commences in the natural crease of the upper
  eye bag and thereafter is extended into your natural expression
  lines around your eyes.
  
  
• Lower: If it is necessary to remove unwanted skin an incision
  is made just under the eyelashes. If there is fatty tissue only
  and no skin to remove the incision is usually
  made behind the eye bag.

Will the scars be visible?

In both the upper & lower eye bags the incisions are made in natural creases
& hidden areas resulting in them being unnoticeable after recovery from surgery.

The eye bag removal procedure is often carried out as a day case procedure
where the upper & lower bags can be operated on either together or separately.
The procedure usually takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete.

Recovery from eye bag removal

There will be some pink scarring along the inner margin of the lower lash
and socket line to the upper bag which will normally fade quickly to leave faint
white lines. There will also be some bruising and swelling during the recovery
period. Stitches are normally removed 3 to 7 days after surgery and most
people return to work 7 days after their procedure.

Is it right for me?

Often droopy eyelids or puffiness under your eyes are hereditary, this is a great
way to correct it. Though any surgery is a big decision and we'll provide all
the details you need to make an informed choice. If you suffer from glaucoma
or dry eyes, you must consult an eye specialist or ophthalmologist first.
