Eyebag Removal

Inner incision

An “inner incision” for eyebag removal refers to a surgical approach where the incision is made inside the lower eyelid, rather than externally, to remove or reposition fat and excess tissue causing under-eye bags. This technique is often referred to as transconjunctival blepharoplasty.

In this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision on the inner side of the lower eyelid (the conjunctiva), which is the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid. Since the incision is inside the eyelid, there are no external scars, making it a popular option for patients who want to avoid visible marks after surgery.

This method is particularly effective for patients with excess fat or puffiness under the eyes, but without significant excess skin. By removing or repositioning the fat pockets that cause the puffiness, the procedure helps to smooth and rejuvenate the under-eye area. However, it’s not ideal for people with significant sagging or loose skin, as it does not address that issue—those patients may require a combination of techniques, such as a skin-tightening procedure.

Overall, inner incision eyebag removal offers a minimally invasive solution with a quicker recovery time and no visible scarring on the outside of the eyelid.
