Eye Bag Removal in Singapore
Eye Bag Removal in Singapore
Eye bags refer to the swelling or puffiness that appears beneath the eyes. They are typically caused by factors such as ageing, weakened tissues, fluid retention, lack of sleep, allergies or genetics. They can make a person look tired, stressed or older than they are.
Eye bags are a common concern for both men and women, with many seeking effective solutions. While non-surgical remedies may provide only temporary relief, a more lasting option is eye bag surgery, also known as lower blepharoplasty. This procedure removes excess fat, muscle, and skin from the lower eyelids, helping to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Eye Bag Removal?
Eye bag removal is suitable for individuals who:
- Have prominent eye bags
- Experience sagging skin or excess fat beneath their eyes
- Are in good physical health
- Are non-smokers
- Have good skin elasticity
- Have realistic expectations
While this procedure is often chosen by people in their 30s and above, younger patients may also be good candidates. The best way to determine your suitability is to have a detailed consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
Types of Eye Bag Removal Surgery
The best eye bag removal technique for you depends on your anatomy, the amount of excess skin and fat, and your desired outcome. The main options include:
Also known as the “scarless method,” this approach is ideal for patients with under-eye fat bulging but minimal loose skin. The incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid (conjunctiva), leaving no visible external scar.
Also called the “external approach,” this technique is used when there is both under-eye fat bulging and sagging skin. A small incision is made just below the lower lash line to remove or reposition fat and smooth out loose skin. Any scar left behind is very discreet and typically fades over time.
Sometimes, fat grafting will be recommended as the stem cells (adipose-derived stem cells) can help rejuvenate the lower eyelid skin by filling deep grooves known as the “tear trough” and the fat can be processed to provide nano-fat and injected finely under the skin to improve skin quality and overall hyper-pigmentation. This can be a treatment on its own for “panda eyes” or done in combination with the lower blepharoplasty.

Like any surgery, eye bag removal carries potential risks and side effects. Most are temporary and improve with proper aftercare.
Common side effects may include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Temporary discomfort around the eyes
- Blurred vision
- Dry or watery eyes
Serious complications are rare, but can include:
- Infection
- Excessive bleeding
- Asymmetry between the eyes
- Changes in eyelid shape
With thorough pre-surgical assessment, precise surgical techniques and attentive follow-up care, these risks can be greatly reduced, supporting a safe procedure and smooth recovery.
Recovery and Aftercare
The initial recovery period for eye bag removal surgery typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks, with the first week being the most delicate stage. There will be swelling, bruising and mild discomfort. Discomfort is usually well-managed with oral painkillers. Some patients experience prolonged swelling and puffiness which can last up to 4-5 weeks. To support a smooth recovery and healing, patients are advised to:
- Keep their head elevated, especially when resting or sleeping
- Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting
- Protect the eyes from direct sun exposure
- Take prescribed medications and attend all follow-up appointments
By the second week, most of the swelling and bruising begin to subside, allowing patients to resume light activities or return to work. However, the eyes may still need extra care and protection. Over the following weeks, the final results will gradually emerge as the skin settles, revealing a smoother and more refreshed appearance.
