A lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is an outpatient procedure where the surgeon readjusts the fat in the lower eye area and tightens the muscle and skin to create a smooth appearance.
As you age, the bags under your eyes weaken the tissue structures and muscles that support your eyelids. The skin may begin to sag, and fat, which is usually around the eyes, can move to the area under your eyes. Also, the space under your eyes can collect fluid and make the area look swollen or swollen.
As we grow older, tissues around the eye gradually weaken and sag. This loss of skin tone allows fat to shift forward into the lower eyelids, making them look puffy and swollen. Fluid can also pool in this area and lead to edema (swelling) This can contribute to the puffy appearance. Shadows may also appear under the eyes. They may be cast by swollen, puffy eyelids due to aging. Other factors can contribute to under-eye bags, including :
While having bags or shadows under your eyes may give the appearance of fatigue, it is usually harmless. However, if swelling of the eye area is painful, itchy, red or does not go away, see your ophthalmologist .
For people who have eye bags that are less prominent and do not have excess fat in the area under the eyes, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend the skin pinch technique.
The pinch technique does not eliminate oily skin under the eyes. The surgeon simply pinches and removes the excess skin.
Nonsurgical eye bag removal:
People
may think that surgery is the only option for eye bag removal, but
there are are plenty of other options — some of which are less invasive
than others. A person seeking nonsurgical options to reduce their
eye bags may want to talk to a cosmetic professional about the
following procedures:
Microneedling:
Microneedling uses a process called collagen induction therapy (CIT) to reduce the appearance of eye bags. CIT
stimulates the body’s cells to produce more collagen and elastin. These
are the proteins that make the skin smooth and tight.
Chemical peels:
Chemical peels use various formulations of
botanical or natural acids to stimulate skin rejuvenation, resulting in
fewer wrinkles and smoother skin. They work by removing the damaged
outer layers, leaving the skin tighter and firmer.
Laser treatment:
Therapists use heat-producing lasers to
stimulate skin cell renewal. The short, concentrated beams of light
remove the outer layer of skin, stimulating collagen production. When
the skin heals, it becomes firmer and smoother.
Injectable fillers:
Some people may prefer injectable fillers. These are temporary. A
therapist can inject the filler under and around the eye bags to
camouflage them and soften the transition from the lower lid to the
cheek.The procedure does not require anesthetics and should only cause minimal pain.
It is very important to follow your doctor's instructions before eye bag surgery. This may include quitting smoking or quitting for at least four weeks before surgery. Smoking can cause dry eyes by interfering with the surface of the eye.
It is important to tell your doctor before surgery about any medications or supplements you are taking, whether prescription or over-the-counter. Over-the-counter prescriptions in particular may increase the risk of excessive bleeding or predispose you to eye surface diseases.
Your doctor will advise you on diet and drinks the night before surgery. Your doctor may also give you eye drops or other medications that you should use before removing your eye bag in Iran
.
You may not like their appearance, but bags under the eyes are usually harmless and do not require medical attention. See your doctor if this condition causes vision problems, burning or headaches, or a rash.
Your healthcare provider wants to rule out other possible causes that may be contributing to the swelling, such as thyroid disease, infection, connective tissue disease, or allergies. You may be referred to a healthcare provider who specializes in ophthalmology, plastic surgery or eye plastic surgery (oculoplasty).
Lower eyelid surgery works by removing excess skin and fat and sewing the skin under the eye back together, giving the undereye area a tighter appearance.There are delicate structures around the undereye, including eye muscles and the eyeball itself. The surgery requires a delicate, precise approach to smooth the undereye area and make it appear less puffy.
During blepharoplasty, the surgeon cuts the folds of the eyelids to repair the skin and sagging muscles and remove excess fat. The surgeon attaches the skin with fine soluble sutures. Eye bags are usually a cosmetic concern and do not require medical treatment.
Before the Surgery
Your surgeon will mark your lids with a surgical pen while you are in a seated position.
You will likely be given local anesthesia in your lid area, as well as
topical drops on your eye so that you are numb to any sensations.
Or, you may possibly be given intravenous (IV, in a vein) sedation, or
general anesthesia, which will put you to sleep for the procedure.
You and your healthcare provider can discuss which pain control approach would be better for your situation.
During the Surgery
Your incision will be hidden along the lower lash-line. Your surgeon
will then remove any excess skin, muscle or fat, and may reposition the
tissue. After your procedure, the incision will be closed with fine
sutures.
After the Surgery
You will likely be able to go home after just a few hours. You will be
given a prescription for pain medication to keep you comfortable for the
first few days after surgery. You likely won’t need to wear any
bandages.
Recovery
Under-eye bag removal is generally well tolerated. You should begin to see signs of recovery soon after your procedure.
Healing
While your recovery should be pretty rapid, expect to take a few days off work and stay home.4
During the immediate recovery period, cold packs may help with any
swelling or bruising. Keeping your head elevated can help minimize
swelling.
After a few days, much of the swelling and discoloration should begin to
disappear, but you may still see some signs for up to a month.
For the first few days after your surgery, you may experience some
sensitivity to light, dry eye, and some blurred vision from lubricating
ointments for your lids. Expect to have any stitches removed within
the first three or four days after the procedure.
