Understanding True Eye Bags and the Precision of CO₂ Laser Lower Blepharoplasty
If you constantly look exhausted, even after a full night's sleep, the culprit may not be your schedule—it may be hereditary fat pockets or structural changes that define true under-eye bags. These bags create shadows, deepen the appearance of dark circles, and resist all topical treatments.
At SIAMSWAN, we offer Lower Blepharoplasty (under-eye bag removal) as a precise, permanent solution, leveraging CO₂ Laser technology to ensure optimal results with minimal downtime.
Why Eye Bags Persist: It’s All in the Structure
Genuine under-eye bags are primarily caused by two anatomical factors, which worsen with age:
Fat Protrusion: The small pads of fat that cushion the eyeball can bulge forward due to the weakening of the septum (the thin membrane holding them in place). This protrusion creates the characteristic "bag" or puffiness.
Volume Loss (Tear Trough): As we age, the fat and bone structure below the eye begin to shrink and descend. This loss of volume forms a groove called the tear trough, which casts a deep shadow, making the area look hollow and severely darkened.
Effective treatment must address the fat protrusion while softening the tear trough shadow.
The SIAMSWAN Difference: Precision with CO₂ Laser Technology
We utilize advanced techniques, often incorporating CO₂ Laser technology, to perform Lower Blepharoplasty with enhanced precision and recovery advantages:
Minimized Scarring (Transconjunctival Approach): For most patients, the procedure is performed through a hidden incision made inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival technique). This leaves no external scar on the skin's surface.
Targeted Fat Management: The surgeon carefully removes the excess fat pockets. Crucially, the removed fat can often be repositioned (fat transposition) to smooth out the hollow tear trough area. This not only removes the bag but also minimizes the severe shadow that contributes to the appearance of dark circles.
Reduced Trauma and Faster Healing: The CO₂ Laser is used for its precision in cutting and coagulating tissues, which leads to less overall bleeding, reduced bruising, and consequently, faster healing compared to traditional methods.
Comprehensive Dark Circle Reduction
While vascular or pigmentary dark circles may require skin treatments, structural dark circles caused by shadowing are dramatically improved by Lower Blepharoplasty. By creating a smooth, flat transition from the lower lid to the cheek, the primary shadow is eliminated, delivering a brighter, more refreshed look that truly lasts.
If you are ready to permanently resolve the tired appearance caused by structural eye bags, precision surgery offers the most elegant and effective solution.
