Eye bags are something we’ve all tried to get rid of at one time or another.
When getting eight hours of sleep two weeks in a row didn’t seem to get rid of them (though it felt good!), some of us even started putting tea bags on our eyes.
Believe it or not, it’s all about the fat and where it’s placed. When we’re young, fat is evenly distributed throughout our face.
But, our cheeks lose this fatty tissue, with aging, much faster than our eyes do. This unevenness causes the baggy look we dislike so much.
Ever notice how not eating well leads to that “gaunt” look in the face?
It’s the same process. Our cheek fat thins, and our eyes start to look exhausted. Some people have a genetic predisposition to this.
There’s a non-surgical option and a surgical option. For the non-surgical option, the concept is quite simple: use fillers to volumize the face.
The hollowed, gaunt look is, after all, caused by a sudden and abrupt transition from hollow cheeks to fatty eyes. Therefore, all an experienced physician needs to do is volumize this transition area, leading to a smoother look.
If possible, this should be the procedure of choice. When faced between a surgical and a non-surgical procedure, all things being equal, patients should opt for the latter–and doctors should as well.
But what about the surgical option? Thankfully, even the surgical option is a fairly non-invasive procedure. Some fat, and sometimes some skin, is simply removed from underneath the eyelids.
Resumption of normal activities occur as early as a week after surgery. Full recovery takes four-to-six weeks.
