I want to get rid of eye bags
“I’m tired of these eye bags” is one of the most common phrases we hear from our patients. Many people spend a lot of money on creams sold on radio and informercials which promise to get rid of eye bags.The reality is that eye bag removal is just not possible with creams and other nonsurgical treatments. eye bags which don’t get better with sleep or allergy treatment are caused by fat which bulges forward under the eyes. If you’re one of these people you can take comfort in knowing you’re not alone. Wanting to avoid surgery for eye bags is only natural but for most people the solution for eye bags is eyelid surgery or lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Dr. Prasad has dedicated his career to help people get rid of eye bags in a safe and comfortable way.
“I’m so glad to have Dr. Prasad treat my under eye bags. I’m only 30 years old but everyone thought I was either tired or much older!”
Lower eye lift surgery or blepharoplasty for eye bags
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is often the long-awaited solution for those who believe that looking older is not welcome in most people’s social lives. If you are “starting over” or getting back into the dating scene, it’s common to become extra self-conscious about your looks and the age-related changes you see. Major life events such as weddings may motivate you to seek lower eyelid surgery to finally have the appearance you see in your mind’s eye be reflected in your mirror.
The only way to defy the physics of aging and to eliminate the sagging, billowing and festooning bulges around the eyes is lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. Dr. Prasad is one of the most sought after eyelid surgery specialists with over 15 years of experience with performing blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid lifts). He frequently gets consults from doctors to repair other surgeons’ work.
Eye bags and puffy eyes can make you look much older than your actual age. Lower eye lifts combat the fatigued and worn out expression that prompts others to suggest that you need a vacation or a good night’s sleep.
The problem arises when the membrane under the lid becomes weaker with age and allows the fatty protective tissue around the eye to bulge forward. This pressure on the skin and muscles of the lower eyelid stretches them and causes noticeable puffiness or bags to form under the eyes. Unfortunately, this type of bulging can be inherited as well and can start as early as young adolescence for some people.
The fatty tissue also holds water so when you wake up in the morning after reclining all night long, your eyelids may be at their puffiest. Over the day, the fluid will drain away by gravity. However, this added pressure can worsen the situation that has already begun with aging.
As you can see, the problem with a weak membrane inside of the eyelid will never be healed by any topical cream or lotion. They may make the skin look smoother, but the underlying cause of puffiness needs to be treated at its source.
What is Involved in Lower Eyelid Surgery for eye bags(Blepharoplasty)?
Dr. Prasad believes in a customized approach to performing under eye bag surgery. The lower eyelids are a complex structure which for optimal results require experience and technical expertise which is outside the training of most plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons. In Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery procedures, fatty tissue is precisley removed or repositioned usually using a transconjunctival approach. This means that the surgery is performed through the inside part of the eyelid so that no external visible scar is created. If excessive skin or muscle folds are found below the eye, an incision may also be made just below the base of the lashes. As this incision heals, the fine scar should also become barely visible.
Support of the lower eyelid may be necessary to prevent sagging or a hollow look using techiques which Dr. Prasad has extensive experience in.
Upper and lower eyelid surgeries are performed under local anesthesia and sometimes with some light sedation in our state-of-the-art office suites. Dr. Prasad has developed LITE™ anesthesia to make sure his patients are comfortable during the procedure. This approach includes both local anestheisia and intravenous or IV sedation with medications such as liquid valium. Dr. Prasad’s expertise, artistry and surgical skills combined with his LITE™ anesthesia allows for minimal downtime.
