Can removing under-eye bags eliminate eye wrinkles?

Generally speaking, under-eye bag removal refers to the surgical procedure known as blepharoplasty. Whether blepharoplasty can eliminate eye wrinkles mainly depends on the severity of the wrinkles. If there are only mild fine lines around the eyes, blepharoplasty usually can provide some improvement. However, if the eye wrinkles are deep, the effectiveness of blepharoplasty may be limited. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Blepharoplasty, such as the internal or external incision method, aims to remove excess fat and loose skin around the eyes to tighten the skin and improve the appearance of under-eye bags. During this process, as the skin around the eyes becomes tighter, some fine lines beneath the eyes—especially those associated with eye bags—may improve to a certain extent.

If the eye wrinkles are deep, they are usually formed due to long-term effects of gravity, facial expressions, environmental factors, and others, often involving structural changes in the deeper layers of the skin and loss of collagen. In such cases, simple blepharoplasty alone may not completely remove these deep wrinkles. Laser treatments for wrinkle removal, which operate on the principle of light-generated heat, can be considered under medical guidance. These treatments work by acting on the fat layer through the skin's surface, stimulating collagen regeneration to reduce wrinkles. The approximate cost ranges from 2000 to 3000 units of currency, with visible improvements typically noticeable 2–3 weeks after the procedure.

It is also recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, which help maintain healthy and elastic skin.
