Eye bags can be removed surgically or non-surgically.

• Surgical eye bag removal
  Also known as a lower blepharoplasty or scarless eye bag removal, surgical eyebag removal removes excess fat and skin by making an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid. This method does not leave any visible scars. A lower blepharoplasty is a permanent plastic surgery procedure which will leave you looking youthful and vibrant.
• Non-surgical eye bag removal
  Non-surgical eye bag removal consists of energy-based laser treatments, dermal fillers, and botox. These treatment options are only viable for individuals with a mild case of eye bags and will require multiple sessions for results to show.

Eye bag removal surgery is performed in the following steps:

• Anaesthesia (local or general) is administered to minimise pain and discomfort.
• An incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid.
• Excess fat and skin are removed.
• The incision is closed using stitches which must be removed approximately one week after the procedure.
• You will be kept for observation and until the anaesthesia has worn off.
• Bruising and swelling is to be expected and should last 1-2 weeks.

Eye bag removal surgery is a day-surgery. This means that you will be able to go home on the same day of your procedure.
