Eye Bag Removal In Singapore: Know Your Treatment Options

In modern Singapore, the working population is continually increasing. This white-collar class is fully tied up with replying to emails and their project completion deadlines. Severe competition compels them to pour in extra hours to meet their targets.

What Are Eye Bags?

The human eye comprises muscle and skin around it. When the muscle drops its strength - due to overexertion - a lump or a bag, filled with extra fat is formed that depicts an eye bag. Furthermore, in due time, bloody fluids accumulate and stain the under eye, creating shadows and form a very bulky lower lid.

What Are The Causes Of Eye Bags?

Not only one but many concurrent issues can lead to eye bags.

●      Work Pressure: During work pressure, you are stressed. Your body reacts naturally and pumps additional blood supply to your vital organs. This leads to a lesser amount of blood to your face, causing it to look pale. Stress affects your sleep quality as well, thus increasing the blood supply to your lower lid that enhances the eye bags formation.

●      Heredities: Some people have a stronger genetic predisposition of getting eye bags.

●      Reactions: Some prominent allergies - either food or weather conditions - cause extra fluids to be released from the blood vessels. This affects the adjacent eye area, causing it to be puffy.

●      Age: As one ages, collagen and elastin breaks down, causing the under eye skin to sag.

Usually, mild eye bags are prominently seen when you tend to look at the sky, whereas in case of severe eye bags, they are visible from any angle.
