Do you often hear people say you look tired, even after a full night’s sleep? Eye bags can make your face appear older or fatigued, no matter how energetic you feel. At Leeds Private Hospital we specialise in eye bag surgery (lower blepharoplasty) a safe and effective procedure that helps restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
What Is Eye Bag Surgery?
Eye bag surgery, also known as lower eyelid blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove or reposition excess fat, skin and muscle beneath the eyes. Over time, the skin loses elasticity and the muscles supporting the eyelids weaken, causing fat to accumulate and create “bags” or puffiness.
Through eye bag surgery, our skilled surgeons carefully reshape the lower eyelid area to smooth out puffiness, reduce shadows and rejuvenate your overall look.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Eye bag surgery may be right for you if you:
- Have persistent puffiness or sagging under the eyes
- Feel that eye bags make you look older or tired
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
- Do not have serious eye or skin conditions
Our team will perform a detailed consultation to determine the best approach for your unique facial structure and goals.
The Procedure
Eye bag surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on your comfort and the complexity of the case. The procedure typically takes about 1 to 2 hours.
During surgery, your doctor may:
- Make a small incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) or just below the lash line (external approach)
- Remove or reposition excess fat
- Tighten skin and muscles as needed
- Close the incision with fine sutures for minimal scarring
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for about 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. You can usually return to work and normal activities within a few days.
We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and follow up appointments to ensure smooth healing. Within weeks, you’ll notice a brighter, smoother, and more youthful eye area results that can last for many years.
