We understand the frustration that eye bags can cause, giving you a tired or unwell look despite feeling well and getting plenty of sleep. Eye bag removal can treat the prolapse of fat beneath the eye, which can form in the lower, or in some cases, upper eyelids.
The ageing process can be a factor as to why they form, as can genetics or the “tear trough” underneath the eye bag creating a bulge. Me Clinic offers a range of eye area surgeries to help refresh one of the most critical sections of the face.
The surgical treatment for eye bag removal is known as a Blepharoplasty which can work to remove or reduce the fat under the eye. The procedure involves the removal of fat via an incision.
