Blepharoplasty, eye bags surgery
English subtitled video
Plastic surgery for eye bags is an operation to eliminate dark circles under the eyes by remodelling the periocular tissues. In this section we will talk about the reduction of bags in the upper or lower eyelids, or both. It is a very simple operation, it is done in a short time and the result is truly spectacular. It is an ideal procedure to eliminate the appearance of a tired face, rejuvenating the appearance of the face in a very obvious way.

PROCEDURE
The bags can be removed or reintroduced as hernias into their original compartments. The surgery can be done from inside the eyelid with no visible scar. When there is skin excess it is performed on the outside in order to dry the remaining skin without the scars being visible.
Removing or treating the eye-bags produced by fat, is very simple and provides very good results as it allows not only to rejuvenate but to improve the field of vision and look healthy, rather than a tired face.
