At what age is it best to undergo eyelid surgery for removing eye bags?

Generally speaking, "under-eye bag removal surgery" refers to blepharoplasty for the removal of eye bags. There is no definitive age that is considered optimal for undergoing blepharoplasty. This procedure involves making surgical incisions to remove excess orbital fat and, if necessary, excising loose skin from the lower eyelid to eliminate under-eye bags. The typical cost for this surgery ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within 1 to 3 months, although complications such as hematoma or infection may occur. It is generally advisable to undergo blepharoplasty after reaching the age of 18. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Prior to age 18, the body is still in a stage of growth and development. The ocular structures—including the orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital fat—have not fully matured. Performing blepharoplasty too early may lead to suboptimal surgical outcomes. In contrast, adults have fully developed eyelid skin and better healing capacity. Moreover, they are physically and psychologically more mature, enabling them to understand and accept the potential risks associated with surgery. Therefore, it is generally recommended to have blepharoplasty after the age of 18.

It is advised to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure both effectiveness and safety. During the postoperative recovery period, patients should maintain healthy lifestyle habits, ensure adequate rest, and avoid strenuous exercise or overexertion to prevent interference with wound healing.
