Can Eye Bags be Removed without Surgery?
Eye bags or puffy eyes are caused by fat pockets that originates under the skin and muscles of the eye in the space called the orbit. These fat pockets are referred to as herniated fat. In spite of claims made by topical creams and so-called non-surgical heating devices, eye bags do require some type of surgical procedure for enhancement. In our practice, we focus on developing solutions for the concerns many people have with traditional plastic surgery such as having to have general anesthesia, excessive bruising and swelling, as well as prolonged recovery. We performed lower eyelid blepharoplasty under local anesthesia with LITE intravenous sedation in our Joint Commission certified facilities and our patients typically return to work in less than 1 week.
