Eyebag Removal
Eyebag removal surgery has become increasingly popular over recent years, helped by high profile celebrities such as Louis Walsh choosing it to turn back the clock. The procedure, also known as "lower blepharoplasty" removes loose saggy skin beneath the eyes to rejuvenate the face and turn back the signs of ageing.
This procedure is ideal for:
- People with heavy bags beneath the eyes, which look ageing and make a person look tired and worn
- Deep wrinkles around the eyes
- Both women and men
Patient Stories
When you are considering cosmetic surgery, it's really helpful and interesting to see what results other patients have had.
- Vickie Kemp was fed up of looking tired all the time - she felt fine, but looked older than she felt. She chose to have upper and lower blepharoplasty together (eye lid and eye bag surgery) to rejuvenate her appearance. The result was natural and beautiful. You can see Vickie's eyelift story
If you come for a consultation, many of our staff have had surgery and can talk about their own experiences first hand. You'll also be able to see more patient photos like these to see what's possible for you.
The Eyebag Removal Procedure
STEP 1: The surgeon makes an incision along and under the lower lashes, before carefully removing excess fat and skin causing eye bags.
STEP 2: The incision is closed hiding the scar directly beneath the lashes. The result is smoother, younger looking skin beneath the eyes where the bags used to be.
Your Consultation
Your free consultation is a good opportunity to discuss eye bag removal with a surgeon.
Your surgeon will look at your medical history, listen very carefully to your requirements and give you honest, expert advice on whether eye bag removal surgery is the right choice for you.
Depending on your requirements, you may be advised to have alternative procedures or a combination of procedures. Other procedures that may be considered instead of or as well as eyebag removal include:
- Eye lid lift (upper blepharoplasty). It is a popular choice to have both upper and lower eye area rejuveanted at the same time.
- Face lift
- Neck lift
- Brow lift
Your Surgeon will advise on the benefits as well as the risks of undertaking facial surgery and will outline what to expect at the hospital, explaining the procedure in detail and the recovery/healing process as well as aftercare.
We take the consultation stage very seriously at The Hospital Group and provide this service free and without any further obligation, so that you can be fully informed about your cosmetic surgery options.
Post-Operative Healing
Eveyone is different, but you should prepare for some early pain, discomfort, swelling and bruising after surgery.
Your surgeon will advise on the most appropriate aftercare during the first few weeks of healing. The initial bruising should last around 7 days so most people plan to have some time at home before returning to work or normal activities.
The scar from surgery will take time to fade fully - up to a year in some cases. However, it will normally be positioned carefully beneath the eye so that after the initial bruising has gone, it should be undetectable to anyone but you.
We recommend Tamanu Balm to help with the healing of scars after surgery. This exclusive product is an intense moisturiser, containing a variety of exclusively selected natural ingredients to promote the formation of new tissue and the growth of healthy skin. This product is available in our clinics or from the online shop.
During your medical consultation your surgeon will point out that the skin will continue to age even after surgery. However, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment such as BOTOX can be combined with eyebag removal to maintain an improved overall result.
