How to get rid of bags under your eyes?

Bags under the eyes may appear like a mild swelling, puffiness or dark circles, making someone look tired, stressed or seem older than their age. There are various ways of getting rid of these undereye bags, including the plastic surgery for the eyelids called blepharoplasty. 

In this article, Artiste Plastic Surgery shares the causes of bags under the eyes and how to eliminate them:

What are the causes of undereye bags?

Undereye bags are triggered when the skin and muscles supporting your eyelids deteriorate. The skin around the eye area may start to sag. Fat around the eye region can move into the area below your eyes. Likewise, the space below your eyes can gather fluid. It can contribute to the swelling and puffiness of your eyes.

Here are several factors that cause undereye bags:

• Too much sun exposure.
• Frequent alcohol intake.
• Lack of sleep.
• Tobacco use.
• Allergies.

How to get rid of undereye bags?

Undereye bags can make a person’s skin look dull-looking and stressed. To manage its appearance, here are several ways to reverse them.

• Stay hydrated. Water is a simple way to help minimise the appearance of undereye bags. It also aids in the moisture of your skin.
• Avoid the use of tobacco. Smoking has components that contribute to the formation of eye bags. Even frequent exposure to secondhand smoke could also trigger undereye bags.
• Use a cold compress. Undereye bags can be relieved by this simple method. Although it may not fully reverse visible undereye bags, it could decrease the puffiness and swelling.
• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty. This eyelid surgery is an effective treatment done by repositioning the fat and tightening the skin on the lower eyelid to help achieve smoother and brighter skin around the eyelid area. This procedure effectively eliminates undereye bags, giving you a refreshed look.

Consistently following the way to reverse the appearance of your undereye bags can help you eliminate them. Still, the most excellent option to get rid of undereye bags is through a plastic surgery blepharoplasty.

Opting for eyelid surgery will make your eyes look tighter and more lifted. The skin around your eyelid region will also appear softer and smoother in texture for a long time.
