How long does eye bag removal surgery last?

Usually, as people age, the tissues of the lower eyelid area gradually undergo degenerative changes, due to the sagging of the fat in the orbit and the relaxation of the fascia, muscles and skin, which can manifest as bulging and bloating of the lower eyelid area and an increase and deepening of the skin wrinkles, which is an irreversible physiological change that can worsen from year to year and can be improved by eyebag removal. Eye bag removal is a more common cosmetic surgery, which mainly focuses on the principle of eye bag formation, and treats the sagging orbital fat and loose muscles and skin to eliminate eye bags. The length of post-operative maintenance is related to the way of surgery, the patient’s life style and his own condition. Usually the post-operative effect can be maintained for 5-10 years, but some patients with weak awareness of post-operative care and no local care usually only last 2-3 years before skin laxity occurs. In addition, with the increase of age and aging of the body, new bags will be formed, and the bags will need to be removed again after the formation. Therefore, under-eye bag removal is not a permanent solution, and patients are advised to try to take local care, work and rest regularly, and reduce late nights after surgery. In case of recurrence of under-eye bags, surgical treatment can be performed again, but the surgery should be performed six months to one year from the first surgery. If the interval between two surgeries is short, it is easy to cause local scarring aggravation and even lower lid ectropion.
