Eyebag Removal
Improve under-eye fullness and restore a smoother, more refreshed appearance
What Is Eye Bag Surgery?
Eye bag surgery, also known as lower eyelid surgery or lower blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to improve the contour of the lower eyelids.
The aim is to restore a more rested and natural appearance while preserving the natural shape of the eyes.

Why Do Eye Bags Develop?
01
The lower eyelids contain small fat pads that help cushion and protect the eye. With age, the supporting structures of the eyelid may weaken, allowing these fat pads to become more prominent.
02
The skin may also gradually lose elasticity, which can contribute to puffiness or shadowing under the eyes.
Some individuals may develop eye bags at a younger age due to inherited facial anatomy rather than ageing alone.

Who May Consider This Procedure?
Individuals may consider treatment when fullness beneath the eyes contributes to a tired appearance or affects lower eyelid contour.
During consultation, the eyelids and surrounding facial structures are carefully assessed. In some cases, eye bags are mainly due to prominent fat beneath the eyelids. In others, they may be influenced by skin laxity or changes in the lower eyelid–cheek transition.
Understanding the underlying cause helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

How is the Surgery Performed?
The surgical approach depends on the individual. In younger patients with good skin tone, the procedure may be performed through a small incision on the inside of the eye leaving no external scar.
When excess skin is present, an incision just below the lower eyelashes may be used to allow adjustment of both fat and skin.
Careful evaluation helps determine the most appropriate approach.
The surgery typically involves removing and or repositioning the fat beneath the lower eyelids. In some cases, excess skin may need to be addressed to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
In some individuals, the appearance of eye bags may also be influenced by the contour of the area below the eyes. When there is a hollow or shadow between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, this is referred to as tear trough. The contrast between hollow and fullness will make the eyebags more noticeable. Changes in cheek volume over time may also affect the support of the lower eyelid area. In such cases treatment may involve addressing these areas to improve the overall contour beneath the eyes.

Frequently Asked Question
Are there non-surgical ways to treat eye bags?
Some non-surgical treatments may help improve the appearance of the lower eyelids in selected individuals, particularly in early or mild cases.
Possible options include:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers to improve tear trough hollowing and reduce shadowing beneath the eyes
- Skin treatments to improve skin quality and elasticity around the lower eyelids
- Lifestyle measures such as adequate sleep and managing fluid retention to help reduce puffiness
However, when eye bags are caused by prominent fat beneath the lower eyelids, non-surgical treatments generally have limited effect. In such cases, surgery is usually the most effective option.
What is the goal of treatment?
The goal is to improve lower eyelid contour and reduce under-eye fullness while maintaining a natural appearance.
A well-planned result should create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, restoring a more rested and balanced look.
