What procedure can be done to permanently remove my eye bags? (Photo)

Question

I have prominent eye bags whenever I smile. When my face is relaxed, it’s not as prominent. I’ve been getting Botox to help relax the under eye muscle, but what procedure can be done to permanently remove the eyebags?

You would benefit from a lower blepharoplasty.  This will transpose the fat that is creating the bulge when you smile.

Lower blepharoplasty surgery is a way to permanently remove the prominent eye bags. I perform this procedure under IV sedation with an anesthesiologist and patients are generally recovered and back to activities in less than one week.

Blepharoplasty is the surgical procedure specifically designed to remove eye bags. It involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

Here are some key points about blepharoplasty:

Permanent results: Blepharoplasty can provide permanent results, as the excess skin and fat are removed.
Improved appearance: It can significantly improve the appearance of the eyes by reducing puffiness and making them look more youthful and refreshed.
Recovery time: Recovery time for blepharoplasty is typically a few weeks.
Consultation: It's essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and determine if blepharoplasty is the right procedure for you.
If you're considering blepharoplasty, be sure to research the procedure thoroughly and choose a qualified surgeon with experience in this type of surgery.

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for lower lid surgery. The bags can be removed while making the incision on the inside so it can't be seen. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

You are a great candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty. This procedure involves making an incision on the back of the eyelid and moving around your natural fat to fill in the hollows. This would smooth the transition from your lid to cheek when you smile and at rest. Best to see an eyelid expert.
