Undereye bags can make you look tired, aged, or stressed, even when you feel refreshed. These bags often result from fat deposits, skin laxity, or fluid retention under the eyes, and they can’t always be addressed with skincare alone. For a long-lasting solution, lower eyelid blepharoplasty offers a transformative option to smooth and rejuvenate the under-eye area.
Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, specializes in lower eyelid blepharoplasty, delivering natural-looking results tailored to your unique facial structure and goals.
What Causes Undereye Bags?
Undereye bags can develop due to:
Aging: Loss of skin elasticity and collagen leads to sagging skin.
Fat Redistribution: Fat pockets under the eyes can bulge over time.
Fluid Retention: Swelling in the undereye area caused by lifestyle factors or medical conditions.
Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to undereye puffiness due to hereditary factors.
What Is Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess fat, tightens sagging skin, and smooths the undereye area to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
