Introduction
Lower blepharoplasty (眼袋去除术) is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the orbital septum through an incision, aiming to eliminate under-eye bags and tighten the periorbital skin. The general reference price for lower blepharoplasty is 3000-8000 yuan per session. There are certain risks associated with this surgery, including the risk of infection, bleeding and hematoma, anesthesia-related complications, scar formation, and eyelid ectropion or entropion.

Generally,眼袋 removal surgery involves removing excess fat within the orbital septum through a surgical incision to eliminate under-eye bags and tighten the skin around the eyes. The typical reference price for眼袋 removal surgery ranges from 3000 to 8000 yuan per session, with visible improvements usually seen within 1 to 3 months, although symptoms such as redness and pain may accompany the recovery.眼袋 removal surgery carries certain risks, including infection, bleeding and hematoma, anesthesia-related risks, scar formation, and eyelid ectropion or entropion. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Risk of Infection

There is a possibility of infection with眼袋 removal surgery. If proper wound care and hygiene are not maintained after surgery, bacteria may enter the wound, leading to localized or systemic infection. Therefore, it is recommended to strictly follow medical advice and perform proper postoperative care.

2. Bleeding and Hematoma

During the surgery, blood vessels may be damaged, leading to bleeding. Although bleeding is generally manageable, in some cases it may result in hematoma formation, which can affect surgical outcomes and recovery. Comprehensive preoperative physical examinations and assessments of coagulation function can help reduce this risk.

3. Anesthesia-related Risks

眼袋 removal surgery typically employs local anesthesia; however, some patients may experience adverse reactions due to allergies to anesthetic agents or underlying health conditions. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly inform the physician of personal medical history and allergies before surgery to facilitate the selection of an appropriate anesthetic method.

4. Scar Formation

Although the incisions made during眼袋 removal surgery are typically small and discreet, scarring may still occur, especially in patients with a predisposition to keloid formation. Scarring not only affects aesthetics but may also cause psychological distress. Preoperative assessment of skin type and scar tendency, along with postoperative use of anti-scar medications, can help minimize scar formation.

5. Eyelid Ectropion or Entropion

Inappropriate surgical techniques may lead to abnormal eyelid positioning, such as lower eyelid ectropion or entropion. These conditions not only affect appearance but may also cause ocular discomfort and functional impairments.

It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable hospital under the guidance of qualified physicians to ensure the safety and reliability of the procedure. After surgery, patients should avoid strenuous activities and bending forward to reduce ocular pressure and prevent bleeding or worsening of swelling.

Can sunken areas after under-eye bag removal heal on their own?
In general, whether depression after眼袋 removal can recover on its own depends on the severity of the depression. If the depression caused by eyelid surgery is mild, it may resolve naturally over time. However, if excessive removal of orbital fat leads to severe depression, spontaneous recovery may not occur. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a reputable hospital.

How long after having under-eye bag surgery can I eat spicy food?
It is recommended to wait at least one month before consuming spicy food following lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Lower eyelid surgery causes certain trauma to the skin and tissues around the eyes, requiring a period of recovery afterward. During the healing period, eating spicy foods may cause vasodilation, increasing local blood circulation, which can worsen swelling and redness in the eye area, and negatively affect wound healing and tissue repair.

Can injections remove under-eye bags?
The effectiveness of injections for under-eye bags primarily depends on the severity of the bags. For mild to moderate under-eye bags, injections of hyaluronic acid or collagen tend to yield better results, with prices generally ranging from 2000 to 5000 yuan per session. For severe under-eye bags, the effect of injections may be unsatisfactory, and blepharoplasty (under-eye bag removal surgery) may be considered instead, with prices typically ranging from 3000 to 6000 yuan per session.

Can removing under-eye bags eliminate eye wrinkles?
In general, "removing eye bags" refers to blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). 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 may provide some improvement. However, if the eye wrinkles are deep, the effectiveness of blepharoplasty may be limited. It is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamins and protein regularly to maintain healthy and elastic skin.
