Eyebags Removal

Overview

Bags under the eyes are small areas of swelling or puffiness under the eyes. They become more common as you age and the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles that support your eyelids, weaken. Fat that supports the eyes can then move into the lower eyelids, making them puffy. Fluid may also collect beneath your eyes.

Bags under the eyes develop when the tissue structures and muscles that support your eyelids weaken. The skin may begin to sag, and fat that is normally found around the eyes may migrate into the area beneath your eyes. Also, the space beneath your eyes can collect fluid, giving the area a puffy or swollen appearance. Aging, for example, causes or worsens this effect. Fluid retention, particularly upon waking or following a salty meal, lack of sleep, allergies, smoking, genetics — under-eye bags can run in families — and medical conditions such as dermatitis are all causes of under-eye bags.

Mild swelling, saggy or loose skin, and dark circles are all symptoms of bags under the eyes. Bags under the eyes are typically a cosmetic concern and are rarely indicative of a serious condition. Cool compresses, for example, can help improve their appearance. Eyelid surgery may be an option for persistent or bothersome under-eye puffiness.
