While there are several options for lower eyelid "bags", the gold standard is a surgical procedure called blepharoplasty. This procedure, through a small lash line incision, both removes the excess fatty tissue and tightens any loose skin if necessary. The procedure can be performed under many types of anesthesia including local anesthesia. It is a relatively pain free recovery with potential bruising for 5 to 8 days on average. The results can be dramatic in erasing the many telltale signs of eyelid aging including puffiness, dark shadowing, or skin laxity.

How many times can you get a face lift?

Getting a facelift procedure does not negate your ability to get a second one later in life. That option will be based on how the aging process affects you and your facial anatomy over time. Frequently, other smaller procedures may suffice to correct areas of skin laxity and volume loss. In addition, risks and benefits of a secondary facelift would need to be evaluated in the future since repeat facial surgery can have higher levels of surgical difficulty. Every situation and patient is unique and will require individual evaluation by a plastic surgeon.

Rhinoplasty recovery can be divided into 2 stages. The initial phase involves the primary surgical healing which encompasses the major swelling and incision healing. This phase takes approximately 1 to 3 weeks. The second stage involves the final aesthetic result which includes all tissue settling, remolding, and final edema resolution. The nasal tip can take the longest to fully heal. This phase typically occurs between 6 and 12 months. In addition, the complexity of the particular surgery and the required surgical steps can affect healing times.

Plastic surgery results clearly turn back the clock on appearance but can't be expected to last forever. Unfortunately, the aging process, weight shifts, gravity, and other factors can affect results long term.
