What are some of the causes of eye bags?

via GIPHY

Sleepless nights might be the bane of our existence and dark eye bags are often a result of it. However, pulling an all-nighter is not the only culprit behind those pesky eye bags. Here are some other common causes of eye bags:

Loss of fatty tissue

via GIPHY

As we grow older, we lose fatty tissue in our face, causing our skin to droop at a faster rate. This often results in less-than-ideal saggy skin around the eye area. The worst part? We tend to lose fatty tissue in our cheeks faster than under our eyes, which is often the cause of deep bulging under the eyes.

Fluid retention

via GIPHY

Puffy eyes? Blame it on fluid retention. Fluid retention is often a result of eating foods with an excessive amount of salt, which not only causes puffy eyes but can contribute to additional health risks. So you might want to cut back on your instant noodles every now and then.

It’s all about the genes

via GIPHY

The reality is that some people are more prone to excess fat around the eye area due to their genes. So you might want to thank your mom for that.

Other factors including allergies and smoking can also contribute to unwanted eye bags. Although it may seem that it is practically impossible to get rid of eye bags, this is where eye bag removal surgery comes to the rescue.

What is eye bag removal surgery?

Eye bag removal surgery — or lower blepharoplasty — is a surgical treatment that works to remove or relocate excess fat around the eyes. Aside from getting rid of eye bags, it also works to smoothen out crow’s feet and improve skin elasticity.

The surgical procedure for removing eye bags can also be called “scarless eye bag removal”. As the name suggests, once the doctor does the surgery for the undereye area, they also make sure that there are no scars left behind afterwards. The invasive procedure is similar to lower blepharoplasty in how the under eye bags are removed with permanent results.

How does eye bag removal surgery work?

First, the surgeon creates a tiny incision in the upper eyelid or the inner lash line along the lower eyelid. Then, the excess fat is removed before the incision is stitched up. The entire procedure is usually done under local anaesthesia and it can last anywhere from one to three hours. If you’re curious to see how it works, Dr. Yoo lets you in on the details of eye bag removal surgery.

Is there a Non-Surgical eye bag removal procedure available?

As technology continues to advance, so does the innovation for aesthetics. There are non-surgical eye bag removal procedures available in Singapore. The most common methods are called Radiofrequency eye bag removal and Non-surgical 4D laser eye bag removal.

The Radiofrequency method is done using a unique micro-needle designed to be inserted in the lower lid eye area and emits radio frequency to get rid of eye bag fats. Poly-actic acid is also injected into the area to increase collagen production, so the skin will be more tight and firm. There is no downtime after this procedure and is usually done quickly in 30 minutes or less. This procedure does not involve incision, but involves needles – which may not be the most comfortable, but it is one of the most popular options for eye bag removal.

On the other hand, the Non-Surgical 4D method is the most comfortable eye bag removal procedure and cheapest out of all the procedures. It’s a safe way to get rid of eye bags with little to no downtime and no scars left behind. During this procedure, lasers are used to trigger the collagen production and to help smoothen the under eye area. Do note that this procedure is not recommended for those with large eye bags – rather, it is best suited for those with small to medium-sized eye bags.

What should I do after getting eye bag removal surgery?

For the next few days after surgery, you will need to stay mobile and upright, sleep with your head elevated, and limit physical activities.

You may need to take a leave from work, and take extra precautions (like wearing sunglasses and very meticulous eye hygiene) while the area heals. Some sutures dissolve on their own, but in some cases, you will need to go back to get stitches removed.

What’s more, there will be mild bruising and swelling for about a week. For this, cold compresses and analgesics will help! Once the swelling subsides you’ll see the result: a fresher, firmer-looking eye contours.  

If the swelling continues to persist, it is best to look for a trusted surgeon for any

How much does surgical eyebag removal cost?

via GIPHY

In Singapore, the cost of eye bag removal surgery typically ranges from $3500 to $7000. While the cost of eye bag removal surgery may seem pricey, the results are immediate and dramatic. As for non-surgical procedures, the price ranges from $900 to $4,600.

Who can undergo eye bag removal treatment?

via GIPHY

The good news is that there are no age limitations when it comes to eye bag removal surgery. However, suitable candidates of the procedure include patients with mild to moderate bulging on the lower eyes.

In addition, doctors recommend this procedure to patients with good skin elasticity. That means that if you are one who faces significantly loose skin around the eye area, this procedure might not be for you.

1. Polaris Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Besides double eyelid surgery, Polaris Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery also provides scarless eyebag removal surgery as one of its signature aesthetic services.

This is done via a tiny incision in the conjunctiva – the mucous membrane on the inner side of the bottom eyelid. The incision allows for a permanent correction of a patient’s eyebags. Dr. Adrian Ooi performs the surgeries himself and adopts a “patient-first” approach. Additionally, he believes in harnessing modern techniques and technology to minimize each patient’s discomfort and downtime post-procedure.
