What is Under-Eye Fat Removal Surgery and How Does it Occur?

Under-eye fat removal surgery is a procedure designed to address the issue of enlarged under-eye bags, which occur due to sagging skin and excess fat around the lower eyelid. This condition causes the eyes to appear tired, and the face to look older. The correction involves the oculoplastic surgeon removing excess fat from the under-eye area and redistributing the fat to create a smooth, natural-looking result. The incision is made along the lash line, typically about 0.5–1 cm in length, and is stitched using a hidden incision technique. This minimizes visible scarring and allows for a faster recovery time.

This explanation is crafted to maintain a formal tone, fitting the medical and professional nature of an aesthetic surgery clinic.

Types of Under-Eye Bags:

Artificial Under-Eye Bags:
These occur beneath the lower eyelid and can be caused by various factors such as poor circulation, excessive crying, frequent rubbing of the eyes, lack of sleep, working late nights, or regular alcohol consumption. With proper rest, hydration, and cold compresses, the under-eye area can return to normal.

True Under-Eye Bags:
These are caused by “genetics” and occur when the body’s endocrine system malfunctions, leading to an accumulation of fluid under the eyes. This results in the formation of visible bags under the eyes. The condition can be corrected with under-eye fat removal surgery.

What are the Benefits of Under-Eye Fat Removal Surgery with Internal Stitching?

• The incision is discreetly placed along the lower eyelid, resulting in minimal swelling and bruising, with a quick recovery time.
• Small incisions leave no visible scarring, providing a natural and seamless appearance.
• The procedure is performed by a specialized ophthalmic surgeon, ensuring the highest level of safety and expertise.

Who is Suited for Under-Eye Fat Removal Surgery?

• Individuals with noticeable under-eye fat bags that make the face appear older.
• Those with sagging skin under the eyes due to genetic factors or aging.
• People with excess skin beneath the eyes, leading to a hollow or sunken appearance.
