What Eye Bag Surgery Corrects
Persistent eye bags can make the face appear fatigued or aged, even after adequate rest.
Lower blepharoplasty targets the root structural causes of eye bags that cannot be treated effectively with laser or filler alone.
✅ What it treats:
-
Herniated fat bulges beneath the eyes
-
Loose or wrinkled skin under the lower eyelids
-
Tired or aged appearance due to sagging tissue
-
Uneven lower-lid contour or shadowing
This procedure is ideal for patients with moderate to severe eye bags or those who have not achieved lasting results from non-surgical options such as non-surgical eye bag removal.
If droopy eyelids are present as well, double eyelid suture can give the eye a more lifted shape.
When puffiness is caused by skin laxity instead of fat, laser eyebag removal offers a minimally invasive alternative.
Patients with hollow tear troughs or dark eye circles can enhance results using Deusaderm to restore volume beneath the eyes.
Types of Blepharoplasty
Our surgeon tailors each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and severity of puffiness. There are two main approaches, sometimes combined for optimal outcomes.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty (No Visible Scar)
-
The incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no external scar.
-
Fat deposits are repositioned or removed to smooth out bulging.
-
Suitable for younger patients or those with mild to moderate puffiness but good skin elasticity.
External Incision Blepharoplasty
-
The incision is made just below the lower lash line.
-
Allows removal of excess skin in addition to fat correction.
-
Recommended for patients with loose, wrinkled skin or significant sagging.
Combination Approach
-
In some cases, transconjunctival and external techniques are combined.
-
May include skin tightening (such as CO₂ fractional laser) or fat repositioning to restore smooth under-eye contours.
Post-surgery fine wrinkles can be improved with Density RF or Potenza RF Microneedling for long-term tightening.
Recovery Timeline (Day-by-Day)

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results last?
Results are permanent for most patients. The corrected fat and tightened skin maintain a youthful contour for many years, though normal aging will continue gradually.
Is blepharoplasty painful?
Will there be scars?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, ensuring comfort. Post-surgical discomfort is mild and controlled with medication.
The transconjunctival technique leaves no visible scar. If an external incision is required, it is placed along the natural lash line and fades to near-invisible within weeks.
Can I combine eye bag surgery with laser or filler?
Yes. Some patients benefit from laser skin resurfacing to further tighten skin or tear-trough filler after surgery to smooth residual hollows. Your surgeon will advise during consultation.
