Eye bags surgery is a plastic surgery that uses medical means to create a natural, full and raised aesthetic structure below the eyelashes of the lower eyelid, thereby enhancing the three-dimensional effect and affinity of the eyes. Eye bags are different from eye bags. The former appears as a slight band-like bulge close to the lower edge of the eyelashes, which is usually more obvious when smiling. It is a symbol of youth and sweetness recognized by many Asians. The people who are suitable for eye bags surgery need to be comprehensively evaluated based on anatomical characteristics, aesthetic expectations and psychological factors.
1. Overview of the basic principles and methods of eyebag plasty
The shape of the eye bags is mainly supported by the muscle tissue of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and its natural formation is closely related to heredity, age and the development status of the eyelid muscles. Some people are born with underdeveloped orbicularis oculi muscles or the muscles in this area atrophy due to aging, resulting in blurred or missing eye bags. The purpose of eye bags surgery is to simulate or enhance the fullness of this area , making the eye contour more refined and improving the overall facial affinity.
Common eyebag surgery methods include:
Autologous tissue transplantation : using autologous fat or fascia to fill the lower eyelid is safer and suitable for those with good tissue conditions.
Artificial material implantation method : Use absorbable or non-absorbable materials to simulate the structure of the eye bags. The procedure is simple but attention should be paid to material stability and individual tolerance.
Hyaluronic acid injection method : enhance the eye bags effect through local injection of hyaluronic acid, suitable for those who need mild modification, it is reversible but the duration is relatively short.
Before surgery, an accurate assessment of the eye structure, skin thickness, muscle condition and eye bags is required to develop a personalized plan.
2. Characteristics of people who are suitable for eye bags surgery
1. Those who lack natural eye bags and seek to improve their affinity
This type of people are often those with a flat lower eyelid structure and lack of three-dimensional expression in the eyes when smiling. The formation of eye bags can increase the gentleness and friendliness of the eyes, and is often used to enhance the appeal of facial expressions. It is especially suitable for people in professions that focus on eye communication, such as media, public relations, and sales.
2. Young women are the main group of people who need aesthetic improvement
In East Asian aesthetics, eye bags are considered a symbol of youth. There is an increasing demand for them among women aged 20-35. These people usually have delicate facial features and good basic conditions, and the formation of eye bags can further enhance the refinement of the face.
3. People with mild eye bag errors
Some people mistake eye bags for eye bags due to slight bulging of the lower eyelid, which leads to deviation in aesthetic judgment. Such people can achieve structural remodeling under aesthetic guidance through plastic surgery . The key is to distinguish between eye bags and eye bags to avoid excessive correction or misjudgment of direction .
4. People who are new to non-permanent plastic surgery
Since hyaluronic acid injection in eyebag surgery is reversible, has a short recovery period and low risk, it is suitable as a first-time plastic surgery experience and can help those seeking beauty establish reasonable expectation management and aesthetic cognition.
3. People who are not suitable for eyebag surgery
Although eye bags have a high aesthetic acceptance, the following people are not recommended to undergo this surgery:
1. People with severe eye bags or protruding orbital fat
There is only a fine line between eye bags and eye bags. If there are obvious eye bags, increasing the bulge of the lower eyelid through plastic surgery may amplify the sense of visual fatigue and is not conducive to the establishment of eye beauty. For such people, it is recommended to deal with the eye bag structure first, and then consider the modification of the eye bags.
2. Middle-aged and elderly people with loose lower eyelid skin and poor elasticity
Even if people with poor skin elasticity develop bags under the eyes after surgery, it is difficult to maintain a stable shape due to insufficient support. This may even cause the bags to move downward and change shape after surgery, so the adaptability needs to be carefully assessed.
3. People with functional eyelid diseases
Patients with eye dysfunction such as ectropion, entropion, chronic conjunctivitis, etc. should not undergo this type of cosmetic intervention to avoid aggravating the condition or affecting postoperative recovery.
4. People who have poor tolerance for facial minimally invasive surgery or have too high expectations
If there is an unreasonable understanding of the effect before the operation or the psychological expectation is far higher than the technical range, the decision on whether to undergo eyebag surgery should be made after sufficient communication to avoid aesthetic disparity after the operation.
IV. Key points of preoperative evaluation and postoperative care
1. Preoperative evaluation
Anatomical structure analysis : including lower eyelid skin thickness, muscle distribution, and fat layer status.
Differentiate between eye bags and under-eye bags : distinguish structural properties through static and dynamic comparative observations.
Psychological state assessment : Consider the aesthetic goals, motivations and expectations of the person seeking beauty.
2. Postoperative Care
① Avoid rubbing your eyes or putting on makeup in the short term after surgery.
②. Cold compress can help reduce swelling.
③. People who have hyaluronic acid fillers should avoid high temperature exposure and massage areas.
The key is to maintain the smoothness and natural curve of the injection area to prevent complications such as protrusions, displacement, and nodules.
5. Aesthetic Value and Social Acceptance of Eye Bag Plasty
Bags under the eyes are not a standard aesthetic symbol in all cultural systems, but in the facial proportions of Asians, moderate bags under the eyes can indeed strengthen the layering of the middle face, enhance affinity and visual focus . Unlike traditional plastic surgery projects such as double eyelids and nose bridge, bags under the eyes surgery is often more subtle and focuses on the combination of dynamic and static eye performance.
In addition, with the development of social media and beauty culture, people's attention to eye details has increased, and eye bags have become an important symbol of self-aesthetic expression for young people, especially women.
Beauty Encyclopedia Tips:
Although eye bags surgery is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, it still needs to be performed by professional physicians in regular medical institutions. Before the operation, the aesthetic goals should be fully communicated, and the reversibility and sustainability of the effects should be rationally recognized. Do not blindly follow trends or excessively pursue specific forms. Eye bags that suit your face shape and temperament are the real aesthetic enhancement. Before making any plastic surgery decisions, a comprehensive medical evaluation and psychological counseling are key steps to ensure postoperative satisfaction and safety.
