Eye Bag Removal Singapore, Eyebag Surgery, Remove Eyebags

Other Causes

Very often, eyebags cause other problems such as dark eye circles and are frequently mistaken as eyebags.

The most common include factors such as genetics, habits, illness, improper use of cosmetics, poor blood circulation and aging and can be categorized into 5 major types:

Pigmentation
Our genes and race have a certain degree of influence to the colour of our skin. Other causes such as sun exposure, skin inflammation, atopic dermatitis, allergies and skin irritation can also result in skin pigmentation (which takes on a bluish black shade) in the long run, giving an impression of dark under eyes (or dark eye circles).

Poor Blood Circulation

The skin around the eye is not only the thinnest, but beneath it, they full of blood capillaries. When blood circulation is poor, the blood capillaries turned to a dark purplish blue hue, making the area around the eyes look darker than the rest of the face.

Fatigue, lack of rest, insufficient sleep, chronic allergies, excessive rubbing of the eyes, burning the midnight oil, endocrine disorders, hormonal changes due to menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause, are one of the many causes for dark eye circles.

Gentle massage with eye cream/ gel or laser can improve the dark eye circles appearance, which are due to poor blood circulation or pigmentation.

Bulging of the Under Eyelids Muscles

This muscle is responsible for the opening and closing of the eyes. It is located just below the lower eyelashes. Similar to the theory of forming bigger and more pronounced muscles when we exercise, the under eyelid muscle becomes more obvious as we age due to the need to blink numerous times daily, although for some people, this trait maybe genetic. This constant blinking exercises the under eyelid muscles, resulting in the formation of a bulge just beneath the lower eyelashes. Botox can be injected to relax the muscle and temporary “remove” this “eyebag”.

Arcus Marginalis Deformity/ Tear trough depression

For some people, they suffer from a condition known as arcus marginalis deformity, where the eyelid’s orbital septum thickens and form a rim and attaches to the orbital bone, resulting in a moon-shaped depression below the lower eyelid. The depression of the cheek below the area under the lower eye region can cause an apparent protrusion of the eyebag region. Thanks to age and gravity, the fat may be pulled down and due to age, our skin may become loose due to the lost of collagen, thereby causing pouch to form below the eye. This may in turn cast a shadow causing an impression of dark eye circles.

Arcus marginalis release can be performed or fillers can be injected to treat this condition.

Fluid retention

Fluid retention in the loose spaces under the eye can cause an unsightly bulge. This is often referred to as a fluid sponge swelling, which can even be congenital (i.e. runs in the family). Lymphatic massage can soothe this condition.

Heavy Infra-orbital Fatty Tissues

This is the REAL eyebags. A lot of people develop pouch of fatty tissues under the eyelids which sags as they age (although there are people who are born with this condition). These fatty tissues jut out, resulting in overhanging of the skin, which makes one look constantly tired. Permanent removal of the existing fatty tissues is possible through a surgery called eyebags removal.

May I know what is the possible side effects and failures of the scarless eye bag removal surgery?
admin

Hi Kwan Kit Meng,

Complications are very uncommon and rare and usually they can be treated. They may include, infection, pain, etc. Failure is more commonly associated with the traditional technique, where incisions are made through the skin and may include removal of excess skin. For the scarless technique (where incisions are from from inside the lower eyelid), we have yet to receive feedback of unsatisfactory or failure. But this may be because our site is pretty new, so we can’t speak on behalf of the bigger mass.

Hi Sianty Gunawan,

Dari umpan balik dari pembaca, biaya rata-rata adalah sekitar S$3,000.

Tidak perlu rawat inap. Anda harus merencanakan sekitar 3-5 hari di Singapore. Tapi ini harus dibicarakan dengan dokter Anda.

Dear,

I am 37 and have been wearing contacts for the last 20 years. I am also very stressed out and cried alot in the past.
Thus, no wonder the premature aging and really horrid eyebags. On some days even after a good night’s rest, friends come up and said I look tired n haggard.

Please advise if its ok to do the scarless removal? I want to get down to it and based on readers’ feedback, is there a good surgeon to recommend? Whats the downtime and would the eyebags return in a short time?

Thank you.

Thank you

Hi Thomas,

We are an independent site, aiming to share our experience to our readers, thus, we do not have the exacts price charged by each clinic. But on average, it cost about $3k.

We do think find non surgical means effective. In fact, we obtained the best satisfaction with surgical eyebag removal, thus the set up of this website to share information to people who may be lost in their pursuit of an effective eyebag “eraser”.

Hi, I have actually gone for eyebag surgery before to remove the fat.
But the end result was not what I actually expected.
I still find myself having eyebags.
First of all, I have big pretarsal muscle and I think i also have sagging skin or extra skin or whatever reason i dont know of.

Please advice, thanks

Hi

I’m in my late 20s and have had bags since primary school. And in recent years, it has gotten from bad to worse.

But I have heard of many horror stories, how bags came back after a year or worse, some looked worse than before after the surgery.

You mentioned that non surgical means are effective too.
Any examples?

And could pls you recommend a few good doctors? thats if i can work up the courage to have surgery done

Thank u! and happy new year

Hi unhappy,

It depends on the kind of eyebags you have. Ask the doc whom you visit for before and after pics and discuss with the doc what can be best done.

January 13, 2011 at 1:23 pm

Hi EW,

Its best that you go back to the same doctor for advise. Its unlikely that they will redo for free, but may be at a discount.

Hi,

I’m 31 and am a mother of a 4 month old baby. I’ve had bags and dark circles ever since I can remember, and have always tried to cover them up since my teens. My bags are not too bad, probably grade 1 or 2. But I absolutely hate them and I look tired all the time. I have tried expensive eye creams, eye masks, regular facials, getting sufficient rest and sleep, exercise and diet, but nothing works. I’ve even tried LifeCell as a last resort, but sorry to disappoint – it does not work!

Now, I have fine lines under my eyes and also many small milia spots. The fine lines have become worse since baby was born (most likely due to lack of sleep!). The many small milia spots have been there since my late teens – probably due to eye creams and daily attempts to cover up my bags and dark circles. I can’t seem to get rid of them.

Can you recommend a few excellent qualified surgeons who can help me? I think I have reached a point where I should try surgery.

Thank you!
