There are many ways to remove eye bags, generally including internal approach, external approach, mid-face lift with eye bag incision, and eye bag liposuction. Different surgical methods have different prices.

1. Before the eye bag removal surgery, various tests must be done to determine whether the patient has bleeding tendency or coagulation disorder. Patients with a history of bleeding tendency need to have a comprehensive examination of platelet count, bleeding and coagulation time, etc.

What is the difference between internal and external incision for eye bag removal?

1. Differences in surgical methods

1. External incision method for removing eye bags: The incision is generally designed to be 2-3 mm away from the edge of the lower eyelid eyelashes, parallel to the edge of the lower eyelid, slightly beyond the outer corner of the eye, cut the skin, remove part of the orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital septum fat, and remove the loose lower eyelid skin in an appropriate amount. Suture with non-damaging sutures, and apply pressure bandage according to the situation after surgery. The advantages are short operation time and relatively hidden incision marks, which are generally not visible.

2. Endoincision method for removing eye bags: Make a horizontal incision in the middle of the conjunctival surface of the lower eyelid, and enter the orbital fat through the anterior orbital septum or directly through the tarsal sac fascia to remove excess orbital fat. Careful hemostasis should be performed during the operation. For patients with obvious tear trough deformity, a combined Hamra surgical method can be used to release the arcuate margin and transfer fat to fill the tear trough deformity to achieve the effect of smoothing the tear trough.

2. Differences in advantages

1. Advantages of external incision method for removing eye bags: short operation time, relatively hidden incision marks, generally not obvious or visible.

2. Advantages of the internal incision method for removing eye bags: There will be no scars left on the eyelid margin after the operation, and the shape of the eyelid margin will not be affected, making it more natural.

3. Differences in the population

1. The external incision method is suitable for people who want to remove eye bags: The external incision method is thorough and can greatly improve eye bags and wrinkles. It is suitable for people who are older, have loose skin, and have more wrinkles.

2. The internal incision method for removing eye bags is suitable for young patients with non-sagging skin and obvious eye bags.

What are the possible side effects of eye bag removal?

1. Bleeding, ectropion, and eyelid separation

Generally, intracutaneous and subcutaneous bleeding is the most common, that is, subcutaneous congestion and bruises are seen. If the doctor fails to stop bleeding when removing the orbital septum fat through the inner lower eyelid fornix incision, it will cause ectropion of the lower eyelid, bleeding and bruising behind the eyeball, and in severe cases, it will affect vision. Adverse reactions such as photophobia, tearing and eye discomfort occur. This is mainly related to the doctor removing too much skin during skin incision, or the doctor suturing the related tissues too tightly. This is a more serious sequelae of external eye bag surgery.

2. Incomplete correction of eye bags

Most of the time, doctors choose improper methods and fail to consider the problem of skin sagging. Elastin in the skin is the main component of elastic fibers, which mainly give tissues elasticity and anti-aging capabilities. Elastic fibers can provide strength and toughness to the extracellular matrix through ACME-TEA. Its length can be stretched, which determines the elasticity and softness of the skin. It has the function of preventing aging and promoting regeneration in the skin aging process caused by physical and chemical factors such as light.

3. Depression and swelling

This is because taking collagen before and after the operation, because the human body will repair the wound left after the operation and stimulate the regeneration of collagen. At this time, if you supplement collagen additionally, granulation tissue will grow in the wound to naturally form collagen accumulation, and collagen mutation will occur, causing depression and swelling of the wound site.
