Will external eye bag surgery leave scars?

If the eye bags are too heavy, many people will choose to have the eye bags removed to make themselves look more energetic, but some people are also worried about leaving scars after the surgery. Generally speaking, the incisions for eye bag removal surgery are relatively small and will not leave scars, but attention should be paid to anti-inflammatory and care after the operation. If improper care causes infection, it will not only be difficult to recover but will also leave scars.

1. The external incision method is generally only suitable for older people. The skin of the lower eyelid will gradually relax with age, thus forming loose skin eye bags. For people in this situation, only external incision is suitable, which requires skin removal and liposuction. Plastic surgeons usually use sophisticated surgical equipment and make very small incisions, so generally no scars will be left after the operation. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs are required for 3-5 days after surgery.

2. The internal entry method is generally suitable for young people. Because young people suffer from simple orbital fat herniation, the eye bags can be removed by internal suction alone. This method makes an incision in the conjunctiva without operating on the skin surface. There is no redness or swelling after the operation, and no visible surgical marks. For other cases of eye bags, the incision is made at the root of the eyelashes and is hidden. We use non-destructive sutures that are thinner than a hair to perform fine sutures, leaving no surgical traces after healing.

3. Try to avoid spicy and irritating foods, seafood, etc. in the early stage after eye bag removal surgery. Take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for 3-5 days. Try to elevate your head when resting, which is beneficial to the early recovery of blood circulation in the eyes. At the same time, try to maintain a regular schedule and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

4. Traditional eye bag removal surgery requires a few days of rest after surgery, while the current eye bag removal surgery is painless and does not require special rest. You can go back to work after the internal route surgery without affecting your work and study. After external incision, apply pressure bandage for 24 hours and remove the stitches after 4 days. Even with the external suture method, the sutures are thinner than a hair and look like eyelashes, which does not affect the appearance. Some people even go on business trips before removing the stitches.

5. There will be no scars left after the eye bag removal surgery, so you can rest assured. Postoperative care for eye bags is quite critical, mainly to avoid infection.
