Under-eye bags surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to correct swelling, bagging or sagging under the eyes. This surgery is usually preferred for aesthetic reasons, but in some cases it may also be needed to open up the visual field. Surgery for bags under the eyes is usually performed under local anesthesia and usually takes a few hours. During surgery, the surgeon may remove or reshape the fatty tissue, excess skin or muscles under the eyes.

While the recovery process varies from person to person, mild discomfort may be experienced, with swelling and bruising usually lasting for a few days. However, the results are usually permanent and patients achieve a more youthful, vigorous appearance. Under-eye bags surgery should be performed by a specialist plastic surgeon and customized according to the person’s health status, expectations and anatomical structure. Therefore, a detailed consultation and evaluation process is important before surgery.

Bags under the eyes can be caused by genetic factors, aging, stress, fatigue and various other reasons. These conditions can cause swelling, bagging and dark circles to form in the under-eye area. Under-eye bags surgery may be an option to reduce or eliminate these symptoms. Generally, suitable candidates for under-eye bags surgery are those who experience significant puffiness and bagging in the under-eye area, have a healthy skin structure and can adapt to the postoperative recovery process.

However, each patient is different and it is important to have a comprehensive evaluation with a plastic surgeon prior to surgery. This evaluation process includes factors such as the patient’s general health status, skin structure, expectations and postoperative recovery process. Under-eye bags surgery is usually preferred for aesthetic reasons, but in some cases it can also be considered as a functional surgery due to prominent bags restricting the visual field.
