This phenomenon of swollen eyes is amplified by the activities experienced by the body which “congest” the eyelids:

  • Sleep with your head flat
  • Doing an activity for several hours’ upside down (e.g., gardening)
  • Consuming too much alcohol or too many salty foods that dehydrate or cause water retention
  • Hormonal changes and pregnancy can also be the cause of increased puffiness under the eyes

Is The Removal Of Bags Under The Eyes Permanent If It Is Done By Surgery?

The removal of bags under the eyes is completely permanent. After years of practicing oculoplastic by oculofacial surgeon Dr. Ahmad for example, there has never been any recurrence of bags under the eyes when it is completely removed.

 

It is possible to see cases of recurrence in other practitioners because the pocket was retracted with electrocautery and not removed for fear of taking a risk by removing it. In these cases, the bags under the eyes recur because they were not correctly removed during the first intervention.
