Introduction
How to Remove Under-Eye Bags:
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty (fat removal via suction) is a minimally invasive procedure with a short operative time, allowing patients to resume normal daily activities and work without significant disruption. Additionally, excess periorbital skin can be tailored and removed according to individual anatomical needs.
Laser-assisted lower-eyelid surgery employs a long-pulse, far-infrared laser, making it suitable for treating under-eye bags caused by various etiologies, thereby effectively achieving the goal of laser-based bag removal.
Under-eye bags primarily develop due to prolonged熬夜 (sleep deprivation) and irregular lifestyle habits. These factors lead to fat accumulation around the eyes, while the surrounding skin gradually loses elasticity and sags—resulting in visible under-eye bags. Consequently, individuals may appear fatigued, lack vitality, and feel less attractive. As a result, numerous treatment options for under-eye bag removal are now available.
How to Remove Under-Eye Bags
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty (fat-removal via lower eyelid incision) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure with a short operative time, allowing patients to resume normal daily activities and work without significant disruption. During the procedure, a small incision (~2 mm) is made along the inner margin of the lower eyelid. The surgeon then makes a horizontal incision—from the inner canthus toward the outer canthus—to access the orbital septum. Once opened, the orbital fat pads naturally protrude and are carefully excised to eliminate excess fat responsible for under-eye bags. Additionally, surplus eyelid skin may be trimmed based on individual anatomical needs.
Laser-assisted under-eye bag removal employs a far-infrared, long-pulse laser suitable for treating under-eye bags caused by various etiologies. With regular treatment sessions and professional post-procedure care, this method effectively disperses deep-seated pigment deposits beneath the lower eyelids and around the orbital area, improves skin metabolism, and enhances both blood and lymphatic circulation—achieving optimal under-eye bag reduction.
Laser lipolysis for under-eye bag removal involves inserting a laser fiber through a tiny incision just below the outer corner of the eye, guiding it beneath the orbicularis oculi muscle into the suborbital fat layer. The laser energy selectively melts away excess fat—a technique also known as “laser-assisted lipolysis.” This approach incorporates the core principles of Korean-style under-eye bag surgery—namely, minimal invasiveness—which significantly shortens recovery time and reduces postoperative complications. Moreover, it simultaneously helps improve dark circles. For patients with no significant skin laxity—where only fat removal is required—no external incisions are needed, and recovery is exceptionally rapid: most individuals can resume normal work activities within 1–2 days.
Under-eye bag removal surgery gradually restores the periorbital skin to a more youthful, natural appearance. By eliminating under-eye bags, individuals no longer need to endure unwanted stares or negative perceptions from others—and can regain confidence and self-assurance. Therefore, under-eye bag removal is highly recommended for those seeking effective, lasting aesthetic improvement.
