Bags under the eyes are a common aesthetic problem that occurs due to factors such as aging, genetic predisposition, insomnia, stress and smoking, making the person look more tired and older. This condition may also affect the visual field over time. Under-eye bag treatment is a procedure that not only improves the aesthetic appearance but also improves the quality of life.
Under eye bag surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. Excess fatty tissue and worn muscles are removed through incisions made at the eyelash line or the inner part of the eyelid, and if necessary, excess skin is also removed. The procedure takes approximately 1–2 hours and leaves no visible scars afterwards. The stitches are removed within 4-5 days after the surgery and most patients can return to their daily lives within 1 week.
It is normal for swelling and edema to occur during the healing process; Cold compresses, sleeping on a high pillow and paying attention to hygiene accelerate healing. During the first 2 weeks after the surgery, heavy exercises and environments that pose a risk of infection, such as the sea or the pool, should be avoided. It is important to protect yourself from the sun and not to skip check-ups.
This surgery provides permanent results; Most patients get rid of this problem for many years with a one-time procedure. Even though the procedure is performed around the eyes, it does not affect visual functions. You can contact us for a proper evaluation and personalized surgical planning.
