Expert treatment recommendations for puffy eyes and under-eye bags
Under-eye puffiness can be caused by several factors. Whether it’s fat prolapse, skin laxity, fluid retention, or thinning skin, Aventis can tailor treatments based on the severity and underlying cause. Here’s an overview of our common and popular treatment options:
- Lower blepharoplasty: Cosmetic eyelid surgery to remove or reposition under-eye fat to reduce eye bags and puffiness, with results lasting 10-15 years.
- Skin tightening: Treatments like SkinTyte laser are non-invasive, light-based treatments that use infrared energy to stimulate collagen and tighten mild to moderate skin laxity.
- Regenerative treatments: PRP and polynucleotide therapy are excellent non-surgical options for tightening loose skin around the eyelids and improving skin thickness and elasticity.
To learn which treatment will work for your situation, schedule a free consultation at our skin clinic in Grand Cayman.
Our aestheticians and eyelid surgeons can begin with a tear trough assessment to evaluate the degree of hollowing and shadowing and recommend the best course of action. Typically, in moderate and advanced cases, a lower blepharoplasty provides the most effective and long-lasting results to eliminate under-eye bags.
The surgical solution for under-eye bags
Surgery around the eyes might be daunting, leaving you worried about the results, as the eye is a very delicate area.
But a lower blepharoplasty is a quick, simple cosmetic eyelid procedure that can reduce puffiness and under-eye bags in about 45 minutes.
Plus, at Aventis, we work with two expert ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons (Dr Jennifer Doyle and Dr Richard Scawn), who are FRCOphth-qualified and perform all of our lower blepharoplasty procedures at our clinic in Grand Cayman.
It’s also particularly effective for patients with persistent under-eye fullness that does not improve with skincare or other non-surgical treatments.
What the blepharoplasty procedure is like
- Incisions made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach)
- Excess fat is carefully removed or repositioned to smooth the under-eye contour
- Skin may be gently tightened where required
- Fine sutures are used when external incisions are made
- Most blepharoplasties take 45-90 minutes and are performed as an outpatient procedure
Non-surgical options for puffy and under-eye bags
Mild puffiness and early under-eye ageing can be targeted with non-surgical treatments that improve skin quality. Treatments include:
SkinTyte™ laser (infrared collagen tightening):
- Stimulates collagen production to improve skin firmness
- Helps reduce mild laxity and crepey under-eye skin
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) / microneedling:
- Uses growth factors to improve skin texture and thickness
- Helps rejuvenate tired under-eye skin
Polynucleotide (PN/PDRN) therapy:
- Improves hydration, elasticity and dermal quality
Particularly effective for delicate under-eye tissue
