So far, there is no effective non-surgical method to effectively remove under-eye bags, and some complementary treatments such as skin care and facial massage can only slow down the aggravation of under-eye bags, but have little effect on removing under-eye bags. Therefore, surgery is currently the most direct and effective way to remove bags under the eyes. Two common surgical methods for removing under-eye bags are conjunctival approach (internal incision) and skin approach (external incision). Conjunctival approach to remove bags under the eyes: mainly for younger age, skin laxity is not obvious, but the lower eyelid orbital septum fat bulging. Using internal incision to remove bags under the eyes, simply removing the excess orbital fat can achieve satisfactory results, and the skin of the eyelid margin does not leave incision marks, which is easier to be accepted by young patients. However, the disadvantage of internal incision surgery is that it is unable to remove the loose lower eyelid skin, and the loose lower eyelid skin will also affect the aesthetic appearance as we age. Skin Approach Eyelid Bag Removal Surgery: It is mainly suitable for middle-aged and old-aged patients who have loose skin and orbital septum. The procedure often involves removing excess loose skin and correcting small wrinkles in the lower eyelid skin. Its disadvantages are the risk of blepharoplasty after eye bag removal surgery and the scarring that remains on the lower lid margin after surgery, which may be more pronounced if not handled properly. You should choose the most suitable surgical method for yourself according to your actual situation and under the guidance of professional doctors in regular hospitals. Tips: Will eyelashes be affected after eye bag surgery? It hardly affects eyelashes! Eyelashes have the shortest lifespan of any hair, with an average lifespan of 3 to 5 months, and are constantly renewed. A developing eyelash can grow 1~2mm in 1 week since removal; after about 10 weeks, it can reach its original length. Children have the longest and most curved eyelashes. There is a possibility that the eyelash may be touched by some of the intraoperative procedures. However, as long as the surgery does not affect the hair follicles, the eyelashes will not be affected in any way. What is the earliest age at which congenital eye bags can be removed? Under-eye bags are hereditary, so if your parents have heavy bags under their eyes, your children may have bags under their eyes earlier and more severely. It is generally believed that surgery can only be considered when the human body is basically mature at around 18 years of age and the child is relatively independent in his/her thinking. However, if the bags under the eyes are more significant, and the child’s physical development has been more mature, may not be limited to the age of 18 years of age, according to the actual situation of early implementation of the operation. In this way, the postoperative recovery is fast and the effect is good and long-lasting.
