Under-eye bags are one of the most common aging concerns among men. Genetics, aging, stress, lack of sleep, and fat herniation under the eyes can create a tired, swollen, or older appearance — even when you feel energetic.
Eye bag surgery (lower blepharoplasty) is a precise cosmetic procedure that removes or repositions excess fat and tightens loose skin, creating a smoother, younger, and sharper under-eye contour. When performed with male-specific aesthetics in mind, results look natural and masculine.
Bangkok is a leading destination for male eye bag removal thanks to skilled surgeons, advanced techniques, and natural-looking outcomes.
This guide explains how eye bag surgery works, who it’s for, and what recovery looks like.
What Is Eye Bag Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)?
Eye bag surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes or redistributes the fat and skin under the lower eyelids to reduce puffiness, wrinkles, and sagging.
Two main techniques:
1. Transconjunctival Approach (Scarless Inside Eyelid)
Incision inside lower eyelid
Removes or repositions fat
No external scar
Ideal for younger patients or those with minimal skin excess
2. Subciliary Approach (Small External Incision Below Lash Line)
Allows removal of both fat AND excess skin
Excellent for pronounced bags, wrinkles, or loose tissue
Scar heals nearly invisible under the lashes
The surgeon will choose the method based on anatomy and desired results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Eye Bag Surgery?
Men who would benefit from this procedure typically have:
Visible under-eye bags
Puffy or swollen lower eyelids
Hollow or shadowed under-eye grooves
Loose or wrinkled under-eye skin
Tired-looking appearance despite good rest
Genetic predisposition to heavy lower lids
Desire for a sharper, more refreshed masculine look
You must be in good general health and have realistic expectations.
