Swelling or puffiness in the under-eye area is called under-eye bags. This is a common thing that comes with the aging process. Muscles or tissues around the eyes start to sag and become weak.

Also, the fat moves from one area into another. Therefore, the eyes look puffy.

The main symptoms of eye bags are swelling, puffiness, loose and drooping skin as well as dark circles. They do not cause any harm or problems to the eyes.

However, for those who wish you improve and remove under-eye bags for aesthetic purposes, eyelid surgery would be a better option.

In eyelid surgery, the doctor removes the excess fat tissues in the lower eyelids by making a small incision on the eyelid crease.

After that, he put sutures on the surgery site. Eyelid surgery is usually done in an outpatient office. That means you do not have to stay at the clinic after the surgery.

Before any procedures or surgeries are directed to improve under-eye bags, the doctor can ask the following questions.

When did you first notice that your under-eye area is puffy?

Have you had occasional symptoms or continuous?

Have you ever tries anytime to improve? Did it help? In what way?

Did the puffiness become worse after any treatment? In what way?
