There are generally two methods for removing under-eye bags: internal incision and external incision. The internal incision method is suitable for younger patients who have fewer skin wrinkles; after fat removal, the skin quickly regains its elasticity. This procedure involves minimal surgical trauma and allows for rapid postoperative recovery. The external incision method is more appropriate for older patients with thin skin, poor elasticity, and numerous wrinkles. Using the internal incision technique on patients with poor skin elasticity may increase postoperative wrinkles and affect appearance. For patients unwilling to undergo surgery, natural remedies such as papaya and mint can be used—dry them, soak in warm water, then apply a warm towel compress once daily. With long-term consistent application, this method can also achieve good results in reducing under-eye bags.
