Eye bag surgery + mid-cheek groove fat grafting case: prominent eye bags along with hollow mid-cheek grooves. After an assessment with Dr. Yen-Chun Yu, the surgery was combined with fat grafting to fill the hollows. Swelling and watery eyes appeared on days two and three; soreness at the liposuction site resolved in about a month, the swelling went down in about a month, and the look was most natural by the third month.

Eye bag surgery story: getting rid of stubborn eye bags and looking refreshed again

"I'm Stan, I'm 35, and I work in department store sales. My eye bags were already quite deep when I was young. Colleagues assumed I'd stayed up late or hadn't slept well, in the mirror the two bulges under my eyes stood out, and I always had to edit them out of photos, which was a hassle. So I came for a consultation about eye bag surgery..."

Eye bag surgery with fat grafting to fix hollows around the eyes at the same time

A few years ago I felt my eye bags weren't that bad yet and could wait until I was older, but recently they'd clearly got deeper. Besides the eye bags, I also felt I had hollow mid-cheek grooves around my eyes. At the consultation I asked what treatments could be combined, and the doctor recommended fat grafting to make the hollow areas look fuller.

I found NAISS CLINIC online, and their online team recommended I consult Dr. Yen-Chun Yu. After talking with Dr. Yu, I found him very down-to-earth and professional, and he explained the surgery in great detail. The conversation was relaxed and the whole experience felt great. I'd also seen Dr. Yu's previous cases and felt I could trust him with it.

For the eye bag surgery, I felt nothing on the first day after the anesthetic wore off; swelling and watery eyes came on days two and three, a little uncomfortable but not painful, and quite bearable. The swelling went down about a month after surgery, and it's looked more natural ever since; now, in the third month, I think it looks its most natural. The liposuction site had some bruising and felt sore to the touch, and that recovered in about a month.

Looking better than ever: satisfaction 9 out of 10!

Looking better than ever: satisfaction 9 out of 10!

I rate my satisfaction 9 out of 10, because my eye bags are completely gone, and the fat-grafted mid-cheek grooves look smooth and full. Dr. Yu's skill is amazing! Colleagues and friends think my recovery and results are great, and some are even tempted to have eye bag surgery themselves. My partner says I'm easier on the eyes now, hahaha. I look more energetic overall and don't have to keep editing photos~

I'd recommend anyone thinking about eye bag surgery come to NAISS for a consultation. Most people hesitate because they're afraid of pain, but my eye bag surgery actually didn't hurt! For people my age or younger, I'd suggest dealing with eye bags now, while your skin still has some firmness. Don't hesitate! You won't regret it!
