Eyebags is that bulge under the eyes that make us look tired and aged. Eyebags removal will make your eyes look fresher and younger, which is why it is a sought after aesthetic treatment in Singapore. Eyebags occur due to a combination of many factors, which include loose lower eyelid and excessive fat in the fat pads of the eyelids. Some of us have eyebags that appear under our eyes even when we are young. Thankfully these eyebags can be easily treated with eye bag removal treatments.
These treatments are divided into surgical methods and non-surgical eye bag removal treatment, such as lower blepharoplasty. Nonsurgical treatments include aesthetic treatments such as fillers and Agnes Fat reduction.
As we age, the skin under the eyes loses collagen and its firmness. Skin laxity of the lower eyelid happens, and there is excessive loose skin. This gives rise to the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, the lower lid starts to sag, giving an “eye bag” appearance. Collagen loss also occurs in the fat pad and ligaments of the eyelids. As a result, the underlying fat pads start to bulge out. The cheek fat also starts to droop, and there is a loss of smooth contours from the eye area to the cheek resulting in a ring to form under the eyes.
For some of us, we are genetically predisposed to have an excessive fat pad in the lower eyelid area. These fat pads bulge out and give us eyebags. These eyebags make us look lethargic and tired. Typically such eye bag appearance runs in the family. Unlike eyebags caused by ageing, the skin is usually firm and taut and without wrinkles.
Bone loss also occurs in ageing, and as a result, the cheekbones get resorbed. The loss of bone support in the cheek area worsens the sagging of the lower eyelid skin and bulging of the eyelid fat pads.
Both lower eyelid pigmentation issues and eyelid skin circulation issues such as venous congestion give rise to dark eye rings (or dark circles) and accentuate the existing eyebags. If such conditions occur concurrently with eyebags, laser pigmentation treatments, and vascular laser treatments will need to be considered for the lower lid.
Sun damage is one of the leading cause of skin damage to the lower eyelid and the face. Ultraviolet rays initiate inflammatory and oxidative processes that damage the skin and reduce its collagen content. That leads to distinct wrinkles and eyebags.
Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid problems, can lead to excessive swelling around the eyes and gives rise to an eye bag appearance.
The reason why our eyes look puffier in the morning is because of water retention around the eyes as a result of hours of lying in a supine position. A high salt diet can also lead to excessive water retention and swelling in the lower eyelids. This gives rise to eye bags in the lower eyelids.
Allergies cause inflammation and swelling around the eyes, making the eyelid area look puffier and cause an eye bag appearance.
Under-eye fillers is a simple office non-surgical procedure. It involves placing the fillers over the eyebag area around the eye bags’ grooves and troughs. As a result, the eyebags are concealed, and the eyes appear immediately refreshed. Under experienced hands, the procedure can be performed in less than 15 minutes without any side effects. Under-eye fillers for eye bags are most suited for mild to moderate eyebags. It is a relatively simple office procedure and minimally invasive compared to eye bag surgery and can yield a more than 50 % improvement in appearance. Under-eye fillers or eye bag fillers can last up to 2 years or more, depending on the choice of fillers selected.
When eyebag fillers are done carefully, and under experienced hands, it is a very safe procedure with a low risk of complications. Nevertheless, the following are the inherent risks of the procedure:
Costs of Under eye fillers is from $900 onwards.
Another popular minimally invasive eye bag treatment is undereye or eyebag threads. Done under local anaesthesia, this procedure is done with minimal pain. What it involves is the administering of fine absorbable threads over the under-eye area. The threads not only have a “filling” effect of reducing the eye bags. It also stimulates collagen production in the eyebag area and causes tightening of the lower eyelid’s skin and the eye bags.
There is a minimal risk of under-eye threads damaging any important structures as long as the threads are inserted at the right tissue plane. Thread extrusion, which is the threads sticking out of the skin, can occur if the threads are places wrongly and too superficially. This can be easily avoided with proper insertion techniques by the doctor. Bruising can potentially occur because the lower eyelid is surrounded by a rich plexus of blood vessels. This is minimised with gentle, careful techniques. Bruising is also minimised with pre-treatment with Ozhean Zoey’s ultrasound treatment.
Costs of under-eye filler start from $900 onwards.
Agnes eye bag treatment is the most popular non-surgical eyebag removal treatment in Ozhean Zoey. The reason being is that this is an effective eyebag removal procedure. In addition, the skin around the eye is also tightened, and the wrinkles in the eye region visibly reduced. How is fat removal done safely and with minimal discomfort?
Agnes is a unique micro needle radiofrequency device that administers radio frequency energy waves at precise depths because of precise treatment tips. This stimulates collagen remodelling and production in the skin. As a result, loose, saggy skin gets significantly tightened. A different treatment tip will target deeper into the eyebag fat pads. Temperatures are raised high enough (beyond 70 degrees) to coagulate the fat and also to liquefy it. As the radio frequency was delivered shot by shot in a very controlled, safe manner, the treatment helps to get rid of excess fat without the risk of the heat spreading to the surrounding tissues to cause any damage. Agnes eyebag offer distinctly visible results in each session.
Agnes eye bag removal starts from $2500 onwards.
For very serious eyebags or eyebags with severe skin laxity, the treatment of choice is still surgery or lower blepharoplasty for eyebag removal. Lower blepharoplasty is divided into two types: 1) scarless eye bag removal or transconjunctival blepharoplasty and 2) External blepharoplasty.
This surgery involves approaching the eye bag eye region from the conjunctival (the red part of the eyelid). The lower eyelid is retracted with the help of an assistant, and the conjunctival of the eyelid is exposed. The surgery is done with local anaesthesia. An excision is made here, and after tissue (eyebag removal is done) dissection, the fat pads are exposed and removed. Caution is made to reduce any bleeding as that will affect postoperative bruising.
The advantage of scarless eyebag removal is that, as the name implies, it does not leave any visible external scar. With the removal, the eyebags are immediately gone.
As with all plastic surgery, the results and the recovery post-surgery is very depending on the skill of the plastic surgeons. Scarless eyebag removal only removes the eyebag but do not treat the overlying loose skin. Complications include severe eye bruising, loose skin and wrinkles, more evident post-surgery (due to excess skin).
This lower blepharoplasty surgery helps to remove excess skin and treats eye bags. It is most suited for serious eyebags and laxity of the skin.
Lower blepharoplasty is costly in Singapore. Transconjunctival blepharoplasty can cost from $5000 onwards, while external blepharoplasty can cost from
The eyes are the window to the soul and we want your eyes to speak life. The appropriate eyebag treatment for you will have to depend on your age, the degree of skin laxity, the severity of the eyebag bulge. Our doctors will examine you to assess that and prescribe the most relevant treatments for you.
The following are some questions you can answer to help better decide the right treatments for you:
Depending on the type of treatments, costs range from $900 onwards.
Yes, most certainly with Agnes treatment. Using eye creams can also help improve the results from the treatment.
All patients are suitable eyebag removal treatments, the choice will depend on whether they can accept surgery with surgical risks or a minimally invasive procedure.
No, local anaesthesia is given for more procedures. They are done with minimal pain.
Typically Agnes eyebag removal treatment is done in under an hour. Fillers and eye threads are performed in less than 30 minutes.
Done under an experienced doctor, the procedures are safe.
Downtime will depend on the type of procedure. Typically in Ozhean Zoey, we provide treatments with minimal downtime in mind.
That will depend on the severity of the eyebags and laxity of the skin. Typically many patients opt for non-surgical treatments because of no surgical risks.
