Why?
In some people, the lower eyelids appear permanently "full" due to a buildup of fat under the eyes. This leads to stretched skin and a tired appearance. This phenomenon is not the same as temporary puffy eyes upon waking, which are often caused by fluid retention.
The only effective treatment for full under-eye bags is a surgical procedure, better known as lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. During this procedure, the doctor removes or repositions the excess fat and tightens the skin, resulting in a more refined and fresher appearance around the eyes.
Depending on the situation, the procedure can be combined with other techniques, such as laser treatments or fillers, to optimize the result and improve skin texture. The doctor will discuss the best approach with you during a consultation.
