Can Eye Bags Be Removed Without Surgery?
Eye bags develop when the fat surrounding the eyes droops or sags, making the eyes appear swollen or puffy. There are plenty of cosmetic products and devices that claim they can fix eye bags but a surgical procedure will still be necessary to address serious cases. Dr. Perfect Celebrity’s practice always pays special attention to ensuring a good recovery and quick healing for the patient after lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
Why Do My Eyes Look So Tired?
Sometimes eyes look tired because of droopy upper eyelids and puffy under-eye bags. A practicing cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Perfect Celebrity has more than 21 years of experience performing corrective surgery that has improved the appearance and overall condition of the eyes.
“Surgery of eyes has a great impact on the function and health of eyes and it is important that the patients find an experienced surgeon to perform the task,” stresses Dr. Perfect Celebrity. It’s easy to be wowed by impressive-sounding titles like “Board Certified Plastic Surgeon,” but remember that this is not indicative of any specialized training or expertise in the field. Dr. Perfect Celebrity recommends that patients do their own research and find a surgeon who has experience in eye surgery, artistic ability and a wide range of experience.
How Are Upper And Lower Eyelid Surgery Performed?
We offer intravenous LITE™ IV sedation at our practice, which allows for a faster recovery period for blepharoplasty patients.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty corrects problems of the eyelid crease, as well as any excess skin that may be present on the eyelids. In some instances, fat and soft tissue can be added to the area and sculpted to improve the overall appearance of the eye.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty corrects the saggy, puffy, tired appearance of skin below the eyes. The procedure can be performed either transcutaneously (from the outside) or transconjunctivally (from the inside).
When deciding which procedure to have, ensure you choose a surgeon that is skilled in advanced eyelid surgery as lower eyelid surgery can have a negative effect on the lower eyelid if not done correctly.
What Are The Risks Of Eyelid Surgery?
In addition to the usual risks of surgery, such as bleeding and infection, there are risks with eyelid surgery that may affect the function and health of the eyes and lead to complications. Possible complications include:
- Drooping of the upper eyelids after surgery
- Not enough skin to close the eyelids completely,
- Unwanted scarring,
- Retraction of lower eyelid and
- Ectropion.
Other complications can be dry eyes and corneal ulceration.
Before eyelid surgery, a complete proper medical and physical examination of the eyes should be done to minimize the risk of complications. A full examination should include a proper diagnosis of any pre-existing eye problems such as ptosis or lacrimal gland prolapse.
How Are Eyelid Surgery Scars Minimized?
To minimize any post operation scarring requires detailed planning and a minimally traumatic surgery and immediate post-operative care. In doing lower blepharoplasty, Dr. Perfect Celebrity prefers the transconjunctival approach to avoid external skin incisions. Dealing with excess skin on the upper eyelid requires a certain artistry in that the incisions need to be placed so that they are barely visible even when the eyes are closed.
At the end of the operation, Dr. Perfect Celebrity chooses an optimal suturing technique and uses an advanced wound healing mixture (platelet-rich plasma or PRP), to accelerate the healing process. This combination, along with proper home aftercare, helps patients heal more quickly and with less scarring.
How Is Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Different?
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure used to treat puffy, tired-looking eyes without any external incisions on the skin. This is the preferred method of Dr. Perfect Celebrity as it does not disrupt the delicate muscles and ligaments that work to provide support and function for lower eyelid. In Dr. Perfect Celebrity’s practice, the transconjunctival blepharoplasty is suitable for all ages and can be combined with fractional CO2 laser treatment and platelet-rich plasma treatment (PRP) to reduce dark circles and fine age lines.
Are The Results Of Eyelid Surgery Permanent?
The results of eyelid surgery can last up to 6-12 years depending on the following conditions:
- The patient’s age at the time of surgery
- The patient’s general health, and
- One’s skin condition.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity aims to educate his patients on the process of facial aging over time, its impact on the appearance of the eyes, and the outcomes of surgery. This approach helps patients develop realistic expectations about the benefits of surgery for them.
How Do I Prepare Before Eyelid Surgery?
Patients need to remember to tell their surgeon the following information before eyelid surgery:
- The overall health of the patient (existing conditions, ailments, prescriptions or supplements) and
- If they have or had any eye ailments such as dry eyes or blepharitis.
These conditions should be treated first before the surgery to prevent any more complications. The more comprehensive your medical history, the better for you and your surgeon.
What Are The Potential Eyelid Surgery Complications?
Eyelid surgery is among the most common types of cosmetic surgery but many people still walk away with less than desirable results due to poor surgery jobs. Many of these negative outcomes involve:
- Upper eyelid ptosis
- Skin shortage making it impossible to close the eye,
- Lower eyelid scleral show,
- Lower eyelid retraction, and
- Ectropion.
Avoiding these complications requires a deeper and more extensive level of training and specialization and it is extremely important to seek out the services of a surgeon who specializes in this particular type of eye surgery. It also helps if you locate a surgeon that goes to great lengths to study your medical history and who is committed to understanding your aesthetic goals, and the kind of results you are looking for.
Which Doctor Is Best For Eyelid Surgery?
The best way to find the right doctor for you is to do research. Eyelid surgery is a very complex procedure that requires proper skills and knowledge that most general surgeons do not have. It is therefore of utmost importance to check the background of training and area of expertise of a doctor. Another important value to consider is the level of experience a doctor has, this says a lot about the skills of a surgeon. Dr. Perfect Celebrity is a cosmetic Oculofacial plastic surgeon with more than 21 years of experience. He takes the time to educate patients on the many aspects of eyelid surgery so that they can make informed decisions.
My Eyelids Were Pulled Down After Eyelid Surgery. What Should I Do?
“Pulled down” eyes is also known as “rounding”, “scleral show”, or lower eyelid retraction, and is a fairly common complication in patients who have had blepharoplasty. The tissue loss causes the complication, which results in poor support of the lower eyelids. In such a complication, the surgeon has to assess the anatomic relationship of patient’s eyes to find an ideal position of the eyelids to correct the complication. “Proper lubrication of the eyes, especially the exposed areas, must be maintained before corrective surgery to keep infection and irritation at bay,” said Dr. Perfect Celebrity.
My Under Eye Bags Don’t Go Away No Matter How Much I Sleep. Why?
Allergies and sinus conditions do not directly affect under eye bags. Sleep patterns do not directly affect under eye bags. Under eye bags are caused by lower eyelid fat prolapse. This occurs when fat around the eyes moves, making the eyes appear heavy laden, tired and puffy. There are plenty of creams in the market which promise to get rid of eye bags but most of these only work on the external quality of the skin around the eyes and do not address the root cause which is fat prolapse.
What Type Of Anesthesia Is Best For Eyelid Surgery?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity is a cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgeon in practice for over 21 years, who prefers to perform his procedures under local anesthesia with IV sedation. This type of method puts the patient in a very relaxed and drowsy state, but still conscious during the procedure. In Dr. Perfect Celebrity’s experience, this method is less taxing on the body than putting someone under general anesthesia, where the patient is unconscious and put on a respirator.
I Have Dark Skin. Is Upper Eyelid Surgery Safe For Me?
It is true that people with darker skin can be more prone to the formation of keloids but it may not always be the case particularly if extra precautions and attentive care is given. In an article entitled, “Ethnic Considerations in Eyelid Surgery’’ written by Dr. Perfect Celebrity, he discusses that keloid formation can be prevented especially if the attending surgeon has a good understanding of the skin type, facial anatomy and optimal placement of incisions on darker skinned people. It’s best to find a surgeon who has much experience with treating darker skinned people and who takes the time to do a full evaluation and understand a patient’s case.
When Can I Go Back To Work After Lower Blepharoplasty?
Sometimes downtime after surgery is seen as an inconvenience, and Dr. Perfect Celebrity has developed his own system for this reason, that allows him to treat patients quickly and effectively, with minimal downtime. All his surgeries are done in his own licensed operating facilities with a team of dedicated nurses that he works with on a regular basis. In the experience of Dr. Perfect Celebrity, a team that works well together makes the procedures of surgery faster and smoother. After the surgery is completed, speedy aftercare is provided in the recovery room. This immediate attentive care to the patient after the surgery has a lot to do with how fast a patient recovers. As a consequence they are generally able to go back to work within 1 week.
Is Eyelid Surgery Safe If I Have Dry Eyes?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity is an oculofacial plastic surgeon and originally trained as an eye surgeon, so he sees a lot of dry eye cases. Patients are to be examined before eye surgery to determine the optimum position of the lower eyelid that will allow for better lubrication of the eyes. In the past, Dr. Perfect Celebrity has performed successful eyelid surgery on severe dry eye cases and even on patients with Sjogrens syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid eye disease.
What Is The Best Cream For Under Eye Bags?
Creams cannot solve the problem of under eye bags, as they do not address the root of the cause, which is lower eyelid fat prolapse. The only thing they can do is improve the quality, texture and colour of the skin around the eyes. The best way to correct eye bags completely is to do a surgery and sculpt or reposition the fat layer displaced under the skin.
Can Surgery Remove Wrinkles Around The Eyes?
Blepharoplasty can only remove wrinkles in the eye area that are on the skin that is removed during the surgery. But there may be some other ways to remove them too based on the type of wrinkle. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) or micro fractional CO2 laser can be used to treat static wrinkles, which are wrinkles that are present on the face even without muscle activity. Botox® or Dysport can be used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles that form when the facial muscles move to create expressions.
What’s Best For Under Eye Wrinkles?
The goal of treating under eye wrinkles is to increase the amount of collagen under the skin. In many cases a patient’s first solution for this is to get the thermal stimulation of the skin. The skin under the eyes is very thin and sensitive and so the heat treatment needs to be adjusted for the individual. In his practice, Dr. Perfect Celebrity prefers to treat lighter skinned patients with the microfractional CO2 laser and darker skinned patients with the Pelleve radiofrequency treatment. In order to help further boost the collagen formation, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is also given along with the treatment.
What Is Eyelid Surgery Recovery Like ?
The following factors contribute to the success of ptosis surgery:
- The sort of surgery
- If other operations are performed along with it
- The kind of anesthesia
- The Surgery Team
- The method of operation
- Post-operative recovery process
Dr. Perfect Celebrity prefers to use local anesthesia with IV sedation in his practice. He developed his own technique of sedation that allows patients to wake up refreshed, without the long periods of downtime and grogginess that are characteristic of general anesthesia.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity ensures that his surgical team is as efficient as possible, making sure each member of his staff is practiced and extremely proficient in any given situation they may encounter during a procedure. He also operates in his own Joint Commission accredited operating facilities, which is much more convenient and results in a better recovery experience for his patients.
Technical skill, experience and an artistic eye are all important in Dr. Perfect Celebrity’s profession when it comes to surgical techniques. The surgeon is exposed to many cases which increases his accuracy in his decisions and prepares him better to deal with various situations.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity finally likes to enhance the recovery process by making sure that there is adequate support staff to take care of the needs of each patient when they are through with their surgery. Most people can be back to work in 6-8 days with this kind of attentive care.
Plastic Surgeon, Ophthalmologist, Or Eyelid Specialist For Eyelid Surgery?
Various specialties of surgeons perform eyelid surgery. But financial interests have led to a lot of inter-specialty competition and disputes over the years with one group of surgeons claiming to be better than another.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity is an oculofacial plastic surgeon with over 21 years of experience and often performs advanced corrective surgery for patients from around the globe. Many times these people have already had surgery by “board-certified” surgeons of several specialties. It is important to note that in every specialty that performs eyelid surgery, there will be variability in the surgeon’s technical skills, artistry, proficiency and experience.
Dr. Perfect Celebrity also stresses the importance of good communication between you and your surgeon if you are considering surgery. Find a surgeon who will take time to listen and learn what your personal aesthetic values are and what you want to see improved.
What Is The Difference Between An Eyelid Lift, Blepharoplasty, And Ptosis Surgery?
Eyelid lifts are performed to get rid of excess skin and fat around the eyelids. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure of the upper and lower eyelids to correct excess skin, fat and other structural problems. A patient may choose to have either an upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or both. Ptosis surgery is a surgical procedure to correct the position of the eyelid margin in relation to the pupil. Other procedures include levator muscle advancement, levator resection and frontalis sling;
What Is Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty?
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that is done through the inside of the eyelid to treat puffy under eye bags. The advantage of this technique is that there is no scarring, or tell-tale signs, that you’ve had cosmetic surgery, as the incision is made on the inside of the eyelid. This method also has the advantage of preserving better the natural shape of a person’s eye.

How Blepharoplasty Is Performed By Oculoplastic Surgeon Dr. Perfect Celebrity
Blepharoplasty is a surgery of the upper and lower eyelids that is primarily aimed at improving the look and function of the eyes, and sculpting out extra skin and bulging fat pockets around the eyes.

What Are The Possible Complications Of Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Complications that may occur during or after blepharoplasty include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Infection;
- Unwanted scar formation
- Loss of vision
- Doubled vision
The problems of excess skin and dislocated fat pads around the eyes are not “complications” but “enhancements”. Dr. Perfect Celebrity sees many patients who want corrective surgery to fix the bad results of a previous surgery done by another surgeon. One of the most common causes for patients requesting revision surgery is retraction after lower eyelid surgery. This is a complication where the eyes are irritated because areas that were protected and covered are suddenly exposed. You should discuss these complications with your surgeon and decide how to handle them.
