Transcutaneous eye bag surgery
Transcutaneous eye bag surgery is a procedure that requires you to fully understand what to expect. Most patients will experience a rapid recovery, but some individuals may require a longer time. The procedure itself can be done in a few hours. Your surgeon will make an incision below your lash line to access excess skin and muscles. In addition to the incisions, a small amount of fat may also be elevated. While generally the surgery is quite safe, there are certain risks. These risks are minor and shouldn't deter you to seek this surgery.
Dermal fillers
For under-eye bags, injectables are often used. Although they can increase volume and reduce puffiness but can also exaggerate puffiness or accent the under-eye region. Although injectable fillers can be safe and effective for moderate to heavy bags, some doctors do recommend them for more severe bags. However, it is important to only use filler for the right patient. Patients with severe or excessive bags may need a different treatment.
Non-surgical options
You may consider surgery to remove your eyebags permanently. This procedure removes excess fat from the skin below the eyelids. It is usually performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. You may experience side effects such as dry eyes, swelling, dryness and bruising. After surgery, some people may experience blurred vision. Rare complications include bleeding, injury to the eye muscles, or corneal abrasion.
Side effects
You should expect side effects after your procedure. There may be some swelling or bruising around your eyes. If you have lower-blepharoplasty surgery, bruising might occur. The swelling can be reduced with cold compresses. You can also take medications for minor aches or pains. Make sure to tell your surgeon if there are any allergies.

This procedure reduces the appearance and thickness of the under-eye bags. You can have the procedure done in as little as an hour. The recovery time for this procedure takes between two and four weeks. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover blepharoplasty. The average cost of blepharoplasty is $75 to $9200.
