Eye Bag Removal at clinics and hospitals worldwide

What is Eye Bag Removal?

Eye bags are a natural part of the aging process, though for many they are undesirable and unwanted. The skin around the eyes is the body’s most delicate, and therefore prone to creasing, wrinkling, and loosening. The aging process causes the skin around the eye to lose its elasticity, resulting in the degradation of the muscle tone - this gives a tired appearance to the eyes and leaves behind creases and fold in the eyelid skin. Other causes of eye bags may be health and diet, smoking, lack of sleep, stress, allergies, and illness. Whilst eye bag problems are generally seen as a cosmetic condition, they can also cause issues with sight and vision and interfere with the day-to-day functionality of the eye. Eye bags are also part of ophthalmology, the strand of medicine that deals with problems of the eye.

The most effective way of performing an eye bag removal is surgical. Eyelid surgery of this kind is also known as blepharoplasty. Carried out by a trained ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon, the procedure involves a small incision to the skin and the subsequent removal of excess fat and tissue. This may then be followed up by laser treatment to smooth the skin. Other non-surgical procedures are also available with similar results, such as fat injections and injectable fillers. Minor swelling and bruising can be expected after surgery and tends to last up to 14 days.
