Removing the Ugly Eye Bags With Reconstructive Eyelid Surgery
Posted by Oculoplastic Eyelid Orbit Surgery on February 1st, 2016
Bags under the eyes can become unsightly and cause you to feel anxious and embarrassed about your physical appearance. The condition is characterized by puffiness or mild swelling under the eyes, and it can persist as you age. Reconstructive eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is one of the solutions for severe cases of eye bags. Blepharoplasty generally covers any surgery involving the eyelids, and it seeks to repair droopy eyelids by removing excess fat, skin, and muscle. You need to work with a reputable oculoplastic surgeon to remove ugly eyebags with reconstructive eyelid surgery.
As you age, tissues around the eyes and the muscles supporting the eyelids may weaken. The fat that supports the eyes may move to the lower lids, causing their puffy appearance. Fluid may accumulate in the space below the eyes, too, and this can contribute to the swollen look. Eye bags are often considered as a cosmetic issue and it they are rarely considered a symptom of a serious medical condition. Home remedies like a cool compress, certain changes in your lifestyle (i.e. sleeping early and keeping yourself hydrated at all times), make-up, some specially formulated eye creams may help minimize the swelling and improve the appearance of eye bags, but cosmetic surgery may provide a long-term solution for bothersome and persistent puffiness.
Reconstructive eyelid surgery can remove ugly eye bags that have become severe. It may be the best course of treatment when eye bags are accompanied by pain, itching, and redness. Surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis with minimal downtime, but it is crucial to speak with a qualified oculoplastic surgeon about blepharoplasty to learn if it is the right treatment for your eye bags.
During eyelid surgery, the surgeon will cut below the lashes in the eye's natural crease or within the lower lid to remove or redistribute excess muscle, fat, and sagging skin. The surgeon will then rejoin the skin using tiny stitches, using thread that dissolves over time. Stitches are made along the natural crease of the lid or inside your lower lid. Reconstructive eyelid surgery can fix the appearance of eye bags and droopy lower lids by removing the excess skin from that area.
