Help, I have bags under my eyes

Causes of bags under the eyes

The eye contour is one of the most sensitive areas, as the skin there is very thin. Fatigue, prolonged exposure to computer screens, cold... Our eyes are often put to the test and signs of fatigue, dark circles and puffiness, are very common from the age of 25. In addition to external factors, the formation of bags under the eyes is favored by heredity. Thank you dad, thank you mom! Note that there are two types of bags under the eyes:those mainly caused by water retention and those caused by a fatty hernia in the lower eyelid. Two evils, two fights.

Bags under the eyes:the remedies

If the bags under the eyes are from water retention, applying ice cubes will relieve the swollen areas. Wrap two ice cubes in a small cloth and dab your lower eyelid. As an alternative to ice cubes, this good old cucumber and honey eye mask recipe has always been tried and tested. Be sure, in your diet, to avoid anything that could promote water retention, including foods that are too salty. Regularly massage your eyelids and adopt a draining eye contour treatment rich in tensor active ingredients.

Treat bags under the eyes with surgery

Blepharoplasty, a surgical operation for bags under the eyes, is reserved for cases of excess fat in the lower eyelid. This case of fatty hernia is less common than that of bags under the eyes due to temporary water retention. As it is hereditary, it can affect you at any age! During this surgical operation, the hernia is removed with a laser. This operation leaves no visible scar. Blepharoplasty prices are generally between 1,250 to 1,500 euros. You have to be a little patient and allow three to six months after the operation before you can regain your pretty look, as it was before the appearance of bags.
