Ecchymoses that form under the skin after eyelid surgery are completely normal, as is swelling. This is a natural companion to any surgical intervention. Even the most minimally invasive technique, such as transconjunctival sutureless correction, cannot do without damaging blood vessels, so hematomas after surgery are the norm.
As in any other area of plastic surgery, the more complex the operation, the longer it takes for the tissue to recover. For example, bruising after blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids goes away faster than after surgery on the lower eyelids, due to the greater ease of correction and the smaller volume of tissue removed. In addition, the eyelids are a little more susceptible to staining than other areas of the body.
How to remove bags under the eyes?
Age-related changes first become noticeable on the delicate skin of the eyelids. The amount of adipose tissue increases, excess skin sag, a network of wrinkles forms, and the tone of the periorbital muscles decreases. In addition, bags under the eyes, which cannot be hidden under makeup, become a real problem. These changes make you look sad and tired.
Sometimes bags under the eyes can occur in young people and are hereditary. This genetic feature does not please their owners and forces them to look for effective correction methods. In both cases, lower eyelid blepharoplasty will help. Let's talk about this operation in more detail.
Prevention of dark circles around the eyes.
Along with the above methods, it is worth paying attention to ways to prevent the appearance of dark circles:
- proper and balanced nutrition (reducing salt intake, increasing the amount of vegetables and fruits in the diet);
- proper daily routine and proper sleep (walks in the fresh air, sleep for at least 8 hours, reducing time spent on the computer and other popular gadgets);
- organizing a healthy lifestyle (quitting smoking and alcoholic beverages, minimizing stressful situations);
- compliance with the drinking regime;
- performing gymnastics for the eyes.
Gymnastics for the eyes should be given 5 minutes a day; it improves lymphatic and venous drainage. Gymnastic exercises are as follows:
- Roll your eyes for 1 minute;
- with your eyes closed, lift them up 8 times and then lower them down;
- rapid blinking for 30 seconds;
- With your eyes open, draw the letter “V” with them.
To summarize, we can conclude that cosmetics and masks, when solving the problem of bruises, provide only a temporary effect, so they are recommended to be used if the problem is caused by a temporary phenomenon - overwork, violation of the work and rest schedule, stressful situation. In all other cases, it is worth resorting to modern cosmetology methods.
An aesthetic defect in the form of bruises under the eyes is an unpleasant, but completely solvable problem.

Removing circles from pigment and brightening the skin
Traditionally, IPL photorejuvenation is used against pigmented skin. The result can be seen after the first visit, but usually 2-3 procedures are needed for complete correction. The cost of photorejuvenation of the area around the eyes is 5,000 rubles.
Also, to lighten pigment, whitening peeling , but not every composition can be used in this area - the skin around the eyes is delicate and thin.
We recommend Enerpeel EL Plus delicate peeling, created specifically for this area. Cost - from 3000 rubles (price including discount, check if it is valid at the moment).
Please note that you may need multiple photorejuvenation or peel treatments to achieve long-lasting results.
In the case of peeling, good results are achieved in combination with the Cytocare meso-cocktail (consists of hyaluronic acid and a nourishing, vitamin solution).
Mesotherapy - from 3500 rub.
Mesotherapy as a separate procedure can also help eliminate dark circles under the eyes. During mesotherapy, a mixture of drugs and vitamins is introduced, which is selected individually. The average course of mesotherapy includes 4-8 sessions , and the effect of the procedure lasts up to six months.
We select mesotherapy cocktails personally, sometimes mixing them. To rejuvenate the eyelid area, we prefer preparations with peptide and amino acid complexes; to lighten pigmented dark circles under the eyes, we prefer products based on adapted ascorbic acid.
Biorevitalization - from 7,000 rubles.
Biorevitalization involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid in its pure form into the dermis and does not directly eliminate either dark circles or the nasolacrimal groove .
We recommend biorevitalization to those whose dark circles under the eyes are just appearing or have appeared. At the initial stages of the problem, the procedure, in general, can “push back” contouring to a later date.
Usually, in addition to injection procedures, we select professional cosmetics for each patient, which can be used at home to consolidate and increase the result.

List of tests for lower eyelid blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty allows you to get rid of excess and overhanging skin in the upper eyelid area. The so-called “drooping eyelid” effect is not only an aesthetic defect; due to the heaviness of the eyelids, vision deteriorates over time and the eyes become more tired.
In 90% of cases, during surgery, it is also important to remove excess fatty tissue in the upper eyelid area in order to make the look more youthful and open, and the face more attractive. Plastic surgery on the eyelids involves an incision along the natural skin fold of the upper eyelids, due to which the cosmetic seam remains completely invisible.
Eyelid correction can be performed simultaneously with surgery to eliminate the congenital pathology of eyelid ptosis. To achieve the best result and visible rejuvenation, upper blepharoplasty is performed in combination with lower blepharoplasty.
Execution method
Before deciding to undergo lower eyelid blepharoplasty, many patients are interested in what the surgical technique is. The principle of lower eyelid surgery comes down to the following surgeon manipulations:
- Markings are applied with a marker along which the cuts are made.
- Incisions are made at a distance of 2 mm from the lower eyelash growth line.
- The skin is separated from the orbicularis oculi muscle.
- The muscle fibers are dissected at a distance of 1 cm.
- Fatty hernias and excess skin are excised.
- Internal and external sutures are applied.
- A blindfold is applied.
The duration of the operation does not exceed one and a half hours.
Recovery after lower blepharoplasty
After lower eyelid blepharoplasty, the patient goes home after one day. Rehabilitation proceeds easily and without difficulties. To speed up the recovery process, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for two weeks, namely:
- Do not touch your eyes.
- Replace contact lenses with glasses.
- Don't wear makeup.
- Wear sunglasses outside.
- Apply a cold compress to relieve swelling.
- Limit work on the computer, exclude reading and watching TV.
During the first 3 days, swelling and swelling increases, and small bruises appear. Symptoms disappear within 5-7 days. You are allowed to return to your normal lifestyle after 10 days. If you follow all the surgeon’s recommendations, the likelihood of negative consequences and complications after lower eyelid blepharoplasty is extremely low.
Help from folk remedies
To quickly remove bruises after lower eyelid blepharoplasty, you can use folk remedies. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most effective and affordable methods of traditional medicine.
Based on calendula
At the pharmacy they buy the usual calendula tincture from golden mustache. The products are mixed, a bandage is dipped in the resulting mixture and applied to the bruises.
Comprehensive fee
Take 20 g of coltsfoot leaves, chamomile flowers and celandine leaves. The herbs are poured with boiled water (0.5 tbsp of herbal mixture per 100 ml). The product is left for two to three hours. Then take a piece of cotton or linen cloth, dip it in the prepared infusion and apply it to the bruises. It is recommended to keep the compress for as long as possible; the procedure must be repeated every 2-3 hours.
With aloe
Aloe is often used to eliminate bruises, since it has a resolving and wound-healing effect on problem areas. Juice is squeezed out of agave leaves (for this you can use a meat grinder or blender). Then a bandage with healing juice is placed on the bruise site. You can also simply cut an aloe leaf lengthwise and apply it to the epithelium with the inside.
Using bodyagi
Bodyaga is the most common folk remedy that helps quickly eliminate bruises. The substance has an irritating effect, which activates the blood circulation process and promotes the resorption of edema. Bodyaga is sold in the form of an ointment or powder; the powder is dissolved in water (2:1) and mixed. The prepared gruel is applied to the area of bruises and left for 45-55 minutes. After the specified time has passed, the pulp is washed off with water. To achieve quick results, procedures must be performed at least three times a day.
Honey-beet mixture
Suitable only for those patients who do not have allergic reactions to bee products. The beets are finely grated, then mixed with natural honey (proportion – 1:1). The prepared compress is applied to the bruise and left for 120 minutes. The procedure is recommended to be carried out only once a day.
Application of radish and horseradish
These two products are grated, mixed in equal proportions, applied to a bandage and placed on the area of the hematoma. This procedure helps eliminate bruises in 2 days.
Reviews after lower blepharoplasty
Plastic surgeon: Zharkova Svetlana Nikolaevna

Operation: Lower blepharoplasty (Lower eyelid surgery)
Good afternoon
A month ago I had transconjunctival blepharoplasty, thanks to Svetlana Nikolaevna for the excellent work done, after 10 days I already looked great. Svetlana Zharkova, the first surgeon I came to for a consultation, and trusted her. From the first examination, Svetlana understood what type of operation it would be and explained in detail how everything would go. A confident and professional surgeon, a master of his craft. After the operation, she came several times for examination; further care and health of the patient was important to her.
Thanks again for the new way to look at the world without bags.
Reasons and features of the appearance
As mentioned earlier, during any operation, vessels located in the working area are invariably injured. What kind of bruises will appear after blepharoplasty depends on the level of intervention and the volume of blood leaked under the skin. Blood loss can occur not only during the operation, but also after it.
Bruises do not always appear immediately after surgery - sometimes they can become visible only 1-2 days after the operation. The overall development and decline takes approximately 7-10 days. At the first stage, the bruises have a pronounced red color, then they lose their saturation and become more purple. Finally, they gradually acquire a yellowish-green color, which indicates the final stage of regeneration.
Swelling and hematomas disappear within a few days after surgery.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty price
When thinking about this operation for the first time, the patient asks the question, how much does lower eyelid surgery cost?
Since this procedure is minimally invasive, the cost of such a service is not very high. However, the cost of lower blepharoplasty can vary depending on various factors. The price of lower blepharoplasty depends on the chosen method, on the qualifications of the plastic surgeon, on the city in which he practices, on consumables and the territorial location of the clinic. An important factor will be the clinical case with which the patient applied, so to clarify the cost of lower eyelid surgery, use the convenient preliminary consultation form.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty and laser treatment
Such an effective, fast and comfortable method of removing fat deposits is also in demand by those whose problem is more extensive: with age, more significant excess skin appears on the lower eyelid (after 35–37 years).
In an effort to help patients, doctors have developed a new method that combines invasive and hardware techniques and provides a pronounced aesthetic effect. The method consists of sequential transconjunctival eyelid lifting and laser treatment of the skin around the eyes and the entire face.
When the fatty hernias are removed, the plastic surgeon uses laser resurfacing of the skin of the eyelids (if there is significant excess) or performs fractional rejuvenation (if there is moderate excess). The complex procedure has an impressive result: bags and fine wrinkles disappear, the skin around the eyes becomes smooth, elastic, and glows with youth. The addition of transconjunctival blepharoplasty with laser technology allows the skin of the eyelids not only to shrink, but also evens out the relief, increases firmness and elasticity, and eliminates the network of fine wrinkles.

You can keep saying “Go away!” and your eyes will make him stay. You can say: “No,” but by the look he will understand everything and do everything right... A young look, not burdened by fatigue, can not only speak - it magically transforms the entire face, adding beauty and charm to it.
So is it worth doubting when there is an opportunity to change not only your outlook, but also your life?...
