Removing Eye Bags – Eye Bag Surgery or Removing Eye Bags Without Surgery?

Eye bags – also known as "bags under the eyes" – can develop due to genetic predisposition, ageing processes, lack of sleep, or fluid retention. They manifest as swelling or puffiness beneath the eyes, which often creates a tired or fatigued appearance.

The removal of eye bags is a commonly performed procedure in plastic surgery, aimed at improving the appearance of the eye area and giving the face a younger and more rested look.

Would you like to look more awake and radiant?

Our plastic surgery practice in Düsseldorf offers various options for treating eye bags – individually tailored to your needs.

Treatment Options for Eye Bags

Morpheus8 with AccuTite

Gentle eyelid tightening with radiofrequency – non-invasive, without surgery. Firms the skin, stimulates collagen production and reduces excess fatty tissue.

No surgery required

Eye Bag Surgery

Surgical removal of excess fat and skin beneath the eyes for long-lasting results with pronounced eye bags.

Surgical method

Lower Eyelid Tightening

Combined procedure for the removal of eye bags and tightening of the lower eyelid for a harmonious overall result.

Surgical method

Tear Trough Filler Injection

With polynucleotides or NCTF, dark circles are concealed and the tear trough is plumped for a more awake appearance.

Minimally invasive

The choice of the appropriate method depends on various factors, including the severity of the eye bags, the condition of the skin, and the individual aesthetic goals. In some cases, a combination of different methods may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

Removing Eye Bags Without Surgery – With Gentle Radiofrequency

Removing eye bags gently and naturally – is that possible?

Gentle eyelid tightening with radiofrequency using our innovative technology Morpheus8™ with AccuTite™ has proven to be a highly effective method for rejuvenating the eye area and improving the appearance of eye bags and sagging eyelids.

This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to firm the skin, stimulate collagen production, and reduce excess fatty tissue – without the need for surgery.

1

Non-invasive

No surgery required, faster recovery time and lower risks compared to surgical procedures.

2

Individually customisable

Precise control of radiofrequency energy enables a bespoke treatment tailored to the specific needs of each patient.

3

Long-term improvement

Stimulates collagen production for long-term improvements in skin texture and firmness.

Important Notes on Morpheus8 Treatment

We use exclusively original devices and the treatment is performed by a physician, as we regularly see patients who have had poor Morpheus8 experiences from cosmetic providers.

  • Minimal discomfort: Well-tolerated treatment
  • No downtime: Immediate return to normal activities
  • Visible results: Usually noticeable after a single treatment, with improvement over time

Do I Have Eye Bags or Dark Circles?

Eye Bags

Swelling or puffiness beneath the eyes caused by accumulations of fat or sagging tissue.

Three-dimensional volume, palpable

Dark Circles

Dark discolouration of the skin beneath the eyes, often caused by thin skin, pigmentation, or vascular changes.

Flat discolouration

Tear Trough Filler Injection – Our Recommendation

We advise against injecting directly into eye bags – treating the tear trough is more effective.

We offer dark circle removal using polynucleotides or our NCTF treatment.

More Beautiful Eye Area

Smooth, youthful skin without shadows

More Awake Appearance

Fresh, rested look

Effective Rejuvenation

Long-lasting improvement

The injection of the tear trough with polynucleotides or NCTF is performed to visually conceal dark circles and plump the tear trough. This is a minimally invasive procedure that removes dark shadows whilst simultaneously smoothing fine lines.

The injected substance compensates for the difference in level between the groove and the eye area, lifting the skin. These methods contribute to the rejuvenation of the overall appearance, replacing a tired look with a more awake and fresh expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between eye bags and dark circles?

Eye bags are three-dimensional swellings or puffiness beneath the eyes caused by accumulations of fat or sagging tissue. Dark circles, on the other hand, are flat discolouration of the skin that appear as a broad area and are caused by thin skin, pigmentation, or vascular changes.

Is the Morpheus8 treatment painful?

The treatment involves minimal discomfort and is generally well tolerated. The precise control of radiofrequency energy enables a comfortable treatment. Local anaesthesia can be used if required. After the treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately.

How long do the results of a non-surgical eye bag treatment last?

The results of Morpheus8 treatment are usually visible after a single session and continue to improve over time through stimulated collagen production. The effects are long-lasting, as the skin structure is sustainably improved. Regular top-up treatments can help to maintain the result.

When is surgical eye bag removal the better option?

For pronounced eye bags with excess fatty tissue or sagging skin, surgical removal may be the better option. During a personal consultation, Dr. Schuhmann will examine your eye area and recommend the most suitable method for you – whether non-invasive with Morpheus8 or surgical.

Can tear trough filler injection be combined with other treatments?

Yes, tear trough injection with polynucleotides or NCTF can be excellently combined with a Morpheus8 treatment. Whilst the injection fills the tear trough and conceals dark shadows, Morpheus8 can additionally reduce the appearance of eye bags and tighten the skin.

What does a consultation with Dr. Schuhmann involve?

During a personal consultation in Düsseldorf or Berlin, Dr. Schuhmann takes time for a thorough examination of your eye area. He will discuss your wishes with you, explain the various treatment options, and recommend the optimal method for you – individually tailored to your needs.
