Eyelid Surgery for Under-Eye Bags

You probably think that the reason that you have dark circles and bags under your eyes is because you aren't getting enough sleep. That is probably a primary cause of this common problem. However undereye bags may simply be caused by the fact that you are getting older. Getting enough sleep isn't going to help resolve the problem; getting eyelid surgery will.

A new report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons indicates that the lower eyelids naturally get fatter with age. What is interesting is that the rest of the face will actually lose fat with age. This means that the contrast between the lower eyelids and the rest of the face is highly pronounced, leading to exaggerated undereye bags that can't be remedied simply with sleep.

Eyelid surgery can be used to re-shape the eyes and to create an anti-aging effect. A key part of the eyelid surgery is to remove the fat underneath the lower eyelids to reduce these bags underneath the eyes. This will make the patient look more awake and alert and therefore the patient will look younger.

Question of the Day: What causes the lower eyelid to gain fat with age even though the rest of the face loses fat?
