The eyes are one of the most important attributes of female beauty – a symbol of attractiveness and desire. Many women are not completely happy with the lines and wrinkles around their eyes and today women who are unhappy with their eyes have many options which include Eyebag removal.

Nothing ages the face more than the eyes. As we get older, it is common to develop lower eye bags which can make us look tired and older, adding years to the whole face. Eyebags are normally associated with heredity, sun damage and aging affecting the skin round the eye causing it to become crepey and to retain excess fat.

An eye bag removal procedure will make the eyes look younger by smoothing, firming up and removing under-eye pouches.

• They are generally unhappy with their aged or lined appearance whatever their age
• They suffer from looking tired or “jaded” even when they are well rested
• They need to avoid eye make up (which has a tendency to look “caked on” or to disappear into skin folds as lines and creases develop and deepen).
• They feel that their self esteem or confidence is affected by their concerns and feelings about their aging appearance.

The best candidates for eyebag removal are those who would like to look fresh and want to enhance their appearance and self confidence. Patients should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in their expectations. Most are 35 or older but if baggy eyelids run in your family you may decide to have surgery at a younger age.

The Procedure

The surgeon will make a microscopic incision, just below the lower lash line. The skin is then lifted upwards and outwards, gently tensioning the area and the overlapping skin is removed. The incisions will then be closed with very fine sutures.

Improved results take place almost immediately following surgery but will be obscured by the inevitable bruising and swelling that takes place following this type of procedure. After the initial swelling has settled down (usually after the first week) subtle improvements to the contour and newly refined eye area will take place for up to six months following surgery. Once wounds are healed sutures (stitches) usually leave no obvious trace. Sutures are either absorbable or unabsorbable. If they are the latter, they will need to be removed in approximately 3 to 7 days.

Whilst the eyebag procedure results in the area being quite tender and bruised for a week following surgery and the actual eye area can become sensitive and dry. Pain killers are provided for any discomfort and usually an antibiotic/anti-inflammatory cream. Patients are encouraged to stay as mobile and upright as possible during their early recovery stage to help reduce any swelling and bruising. Patients usually describe the way their eyes feel, as “uncomfortable” and “tight” rather than painful in the initial recovery.

Bruising and swelling can also be minimised by patients keeping their head elevated during rest and sleep in the first 2 to 3 days following surgery and by the regular post-operative use of cold compresses. Artificial tears also provide relief from irritation.

Patients are also advised to avoid any level of activity that may put undue strain on their newly operated areas. They should also take a specific amount of recovery time away from work, dependant on the type of work they perform.

Patients should avoid direct sunbathing on the eye area for at least 12 months due to sensitivity to sunlight. Initially it is also good practice to wear sunglasses.

Contact lenses cannot be worn for at least 5 days and make-up can be worn after 1 week.

The results of Eyebag removal are long lasting however the aging process continues and nothing can stop aging.

If you are looking for a procedure to give you a smooth, healthy, more youthful appearance then eye bag removal is the answer. Most patients are more than happy with the end results and often repeat the process.
