External eyebag removal is a surgical procedure to remove under-eye bags in which the surgical incision is not inside the conjunctival sac, but at the lower edge of the eyelashes of the lower lid. During the surgery, the skin is incised, the excess fat tissue in the orbital septum is removed after the incision is separated, the orbital septum is tightened and the excess skin is removed, and then the suture is completed, which is the complete surgical procedure of external eye bag removal. The recovery period is slightly longer than that of internal eye bag removal because external eye bag removal is mostly accompanied by skin laxity. The stitches will be removed in about 5-7 days after surgery, and the swelling of the larger facial area will be basically eliminated in about 2 weeks, and it will take about 3 months to completely reduce the swelling and restore stability. Measures to facilitate swelling reduction can usually be taken before external eye bag removal surgery. In the early 72 hours after surgery, appropriate ice packs can effectively control postoperative swelling and prevent wound bleeding or hematoma. Medical ice packs or homemade ice packs such as bags of iced milk can be used, alternating ice packs around the eyes with dry towels, so as not to damage the skin with prolonged ice packs. Usually mild swelling and pain after surgery is normal. If there is unbearable swelling and pain in the eye on the day of surgery and red blood oozes from the gauze wrapped around the eye, you should contact your surgeon promptly to deal with it.
