My under eye bags don’t go away no matter how much I sleep. Why?
Under eye bags which are not affected by rest, allergies
or sinus conditions is typically caused by “lower eyelid fat prolapse”.
Lower eyelid fat prolapse is also referred to as “herniated fat” which means that
fat that was located in a space around the eye called the orbit has prolapsed or herniated
forward resulting in puffy under eye bags.
Many people try to use creams and non surgical solutions however if your eyes are significantly
puffy, the only practical solution is a procedure called lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a procedure which addresses the puffy under eye bags through
either an external also called a “transcutaneous” approach or from the inside of the eyelid
called the “transconjunctival” approach.
In our practice we routinely perform lower eyelid blepharoplasty through the transconjunctival
approach so we’re able to avoid any external scars.
We perform these procedures under local anesthesia with LITE intravenous sedation so we’re
able to avoid general anesthesia which results in a more comfortable experience as well as
a quicker recovery.
