Introduction
In general, whether lower eyelid bags can be removed without filling the tear trough depends on the specific situation. If the tear trough is mild, it is usually acceptable; however, if the tear trough is significant, it is recommended to address it. It is advisable to develop a personalized surgical plan under a doctor's guidance, based on individual eye conditions, surgical risks, and desired outcomes.

Generally speaking, whether it is acceptable to remove under-eye bags without filling the tear troughs depends on the specific situation. If the tear troughs are only slightly noticeable, it is usually acceptable; however, if the tear troughs are more pronounced, it is recommended to address them. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If the tear troughs are mild and you are visually satisfied with their appearance or believe they do not affect overall aesthetics, you may choose not to fill the tear troughs while removing the under-eye bags.

If the tear troughs are significantly noticeable, removing the under-eye bags alone may make the tear troughs appear more prominent, thus affecting overall aesthetics. In such cases, filling the tear troughs can help achieve a smoother eye contour and better surgical results.

It is recommended to develop a personalized surgical plan under the guidance of a physician, based on individual eye conditions, surgical risks, and desired outcomes. Additionally, postoperative care is also very important and should be conducted in accordance with the physician's instructions for recovery and maintenance.
