Eyelid fat and bags can develop at any age, even in your twenties, causing a tired and lackluster appearance. If you are attempting conventional methods that fail to meet expectations, consider eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty. This surgical procedure is highly regarded as an effective solution for eliminating eye bags, excess skin, and restoring youthful eyes. For a comprehensive exploration of this method, please refer to the article below by Reconstructive Surgery SMC.

I. What is Eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery is a minor surgical procedure that involves the excision of excess fat and skin through a diminutive incision. This procedure does not compromise the structural integrity of the eyeball, nor does it affect vision, the cornea, or the levator muscle. It effectively removes sagging skin in the eyelid region and eliminates wrinkles. This technique is appropriate for individuals of all ages and is entirely safe, as there is no risk of scarring. However, to ensure optimal outcomes, it is crucial to entrust the procedure to a highly skilled and experienced surgeon to minimize the likelihood of complications such as eyelid hollowing or an unnatural appearance.

The duration of the eyelid surgery procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes. Depending on each patient’s condition, the surgeon will recommend a suitable approach, such as:

• Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: This technique removes excess skin and fat through an incision made along the crease of the upper eyelid. The incision is usually well-hidden within the natural crease of the eyelid, resulting in a minimal and discreet scar.
• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: This is a gentle procedure where the surgeon makes an incision just below the lower lash line. The incision is extended downwards to remove excess fat pockets, after which the lower eyelid skin is tightened to identify and remove any excess skin.

After completing the fat removal techniques, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures. The incisions are tiny and placed strategically along the lash line or within the natural eyelid crease, ensuring minimal scarring and preserving a natural appearance.

II. When Should You Consider Eyelid Surgery?

There are many causes of eye bags and eyelid fat, including genetics, natural aging, frequent lack of sleep, excessive use of tobacco or alcohol, allergies, and other medical conditions. If left unaddressed, these factors can lead to severe eye bags and eyelid fat, negatively impacting your facial aesthetics. In severe cases, this can affect your appearance by:

• Fat compressing blood vessels under the eyelids, causing dark circles.
• Fat creating folds and wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and eyelids.
• Fat causing swollen eyelids, making the eyes feel heavy and less mobile.

Therefore, if you are experiencing the above issues and have the desire to correct eyelid fat to eliminate wrinkles and rejuvenate your eyes, you should consider eyelid surgery. This procedure is also recommended for those who have undergone previous eyelid surgery with unsatisfactory results. Additionally, for those with significant eye bags and excess or sagging skin, combining eyelid surgery with upper eyelid surgery can achieve the best outcome.

III. Advantages and Disadvantages of Eyelid Surgery

Here are some pros and cons of eyelid surgery that you should consider before undergoing this procedure:

1. Advantages

Step 1: Consultation and Personally Tailored Solution

• The first step for everyone before surgery is to have a consultation with a specialized doctor. This allows the doctor to assess the condition of excess skin and fat accumulated on your eyelids. Based on this assessment, the doctor will provide guidance and recommend the most suitable surgical approach for your specific condition.

Step 2: Comprehensive Health Check

• Although considered a minor and relatively simple cosmetic procedure, before undergoing eyelid surgery, you will need to undergo a comprehensive health check. This is to evaluate your overall health and ensure you are a suitable candidate for surgery.

Step 3: Sterilization and Local Anesthesia

• After the consultation and determining a safe approach for eyelid surgery, you will receive local anesthesia around the eyes to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure.

Step 4: Surgical Procedure

• Once the surgeon has taken precise measurements to ensure accurate execution of the procedure, they will make a tiny incision in the upper eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin and fat in the eye area will be carefully removed. Finally, the surgeon will meticulously close the incision to minimize scarring.

Step 5: Post-Operative Care

• Follow the doctor’s instructions for post-operative care to achieve the best results. This may include applying cold compresses, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding strenuous activities for a certain period.

V. Important Notes Before and After Eyelid Surgery

1. Before Eyelid Surgery

Before undergoing eyelid surgery, patients should keep the following in mind to ensure a successful surgery:

• First, thoroughly research the clinic where you plan to have the procedure to ensure your safety before and after the surgery.
• Learn about the expertise and experience of the surgeon who will be performing your procedure.
• Health is a crucial factor in determining whether the surgery will be successful. Therefore, a comprehensive health check is usually required before surgery.
• Before entering the operating room, if any unusual symptoms occur, inform your doctor immediately to address them and avoid affecting your health.

2. After Eyelid Surgery

• Apply cold compresses continuously for the first 1-2 days after eyelid surgery.
• Keep the incision clean and dry. Use saline solution for daily cleaning.
• Limit watching TV or sitting in front of a computer for extended periods.
• Wear glasses when going outside to protect the newly operated eye area.
• Avoid foods such as chicken, beef, seafood, spinach, and eggs. Instead, consume plenty of green vegetables and vitamin A to promote eye recovery.
