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.

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.

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.

We can perform lower eyelid blepharoplasty to get rid of the eye bags and also can enhance our result using fat grafting in the infraorbital region to achieve a smooth transtion in the lid - cheek junction. So my suggestion would be lower eyelid blepharoplasty and infraorbital fat grafting.

A trans-conjunctival lower blepharoplasty can accomplish removal of those fat deposits, creating the eye bags with the incisions located completely on the inside of the eyelids. No external incisions are required, no sutures are required. This procedure is performed in a brief general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

I would be very reluctant in treating dynamic changes.
If you remove fat from your lower eyelids that seem prominent when you smile, you may look hollow when you don’t smile.
Botox is ideal for weakening the orbicularis muscle.
I would probably hold off on surgical intervention for this.
Treating dynamic undesirable changes is inherently difficult, and often doesn’t accomplish what is hoping to be achieved.
Best,
