Under-Eye Bags Treatment in Istanbul

About Under-Eye Bags

Under-eye bags develop when the orbital fat pads herniate forward through weakened connective tissue, creating visible puffiness beneath the lower eyelids. Contributing factors include aging, genetic predisposition, fluid retention, and lifestyle factors. In some cases, the tear trough deepens simultaneously, making the bags more prominent.

Treatment Options

Surgical Treatment

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is the primary surgical approach for under-eye bags. Depending on the clinical presentation, a transconjunctival approach (incision inside the eyelid) or a subciliary approach (incision just below the lash line) may be used. The procedure addresses fat herniation, skin laxity, and structural changes to achieve a smoother, more rested appearance.

Non-Surgical Approaches

For patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery or prefer non-invasive options, treatments such as hyaluronic acid fillers for the tear trough area may be considered. Non-surgical options are best suited for mild cases without significant fat herniation. The most appropriate approach is determined during the clinical evaluation.

Why Choose an Oculoplastic Surgeon?

The under-eye area is anatomically complex, with delicate structures including the orbital septum, lower eyelid retractors, and the tear drainage system in close proximity. Oculoplastic surgeons, having completed ophthalmology training followed by focused expertise in periocular surgery, are uniquely qualified to perform procedures in this area while preserving eyelid function and protecting the eye.

Op. Dr. Burak Akbay evaluates each patient holistically, assessing not only the under-eye bags but also lid position, skin quality, tear function, and the relationship between the upper and lower eyelids. This comprehensive approach contributes to natural, balanced results.
