HOW CAN THIS SURGERY HELP ME?

Eye bag removal surgery is also known as lower blepharoplasty. This surgery can help tackle those fatty deposits under the lower eyelid and reduce puffiness, help to correct a drooping eyelid, and can remove excess skin and wrinkles.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?

Before any procedure, you will meet your cosmetic surgeon so that you can chat to them about what you want. They will then talk through the available options and the surgical procedure. Blepharoplasty surgery takes around one and a half hours, and will be done under general anaesthetic.

A small incision will be made under the eyelash line, so as to remove the excess fat and skin. The line under the eye will then be straightened to smooth the skin and to correct any drooping.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM THIS SURGERY?

Recovery time is roughly three to four weeks. There will be sutures in place, and after five days you will be asked to return to the clinic to have them removed. Steri strips will then be applied and will be removed after five days. These cannot get wet. Contact lenses and eye makeup cannot be worn for ten days. You will be advised to wear sunglasses, and you’ll need to apply ointment under the eyes at night.

The good news is that there is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can remove this excess skin and muscle. Belvedere Clinic explain everything you need to know about Blepharoplasty.
