Combatting Tired Eyes: Lower Eyelid Refinement for Men
Baggy lower eyelids or pesky eye bags can be an inherited trait or a telltale sign of aging. The culprit behind lower eyelid bagginess and puffiness often involves a mix of herniating fat, surplus skin, and edema (water retention).
Unlock a Youthful Gaze with Eye Bag Removal Surgery:
Contrary to its name, lower blepharoplasty, or eye bag removal surgery, isn’t just about addressing bags under the eyes. It encompasses the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue from above the eyes, eradicating the aging hood of skin. Additionally, it can target excess fat and skin beneath the eyes, smoothing out wrinkles, commonly known as crow’s feet. To combat a “hollowed” appearance, fat may be strategically added.
Procedure Insights:
Under local anesthesia, Dr. Wang delicately makes incisions below your lower lashes. Through these incisions, he skillfully separates skin from fatty tissue and muscle, removes excess fat, and trims sagging skin and muscle. Depending on the case, an incision inside the lower eyelid might be made, omitting the need for skin removal. The meticulous closure of incisions with fine sutures ensures a smooth, rejuvenated look.
