Many of us know that eye bags greatly affect our appearance and will make us look very old, so we need to take some measures to remove eye bags. So can eye bags be treated with hot compresses? Should I apply hot or cold compress to my eye bags?

Can eye bags be treated with heat?

Eye bags are difficult to remove. You can use hot compresses, but the effect is not very obvious. The main reason for eye bags is the accumulation of fat at the lower edge of the eyelid. Hot compress can promote blood circulation around the eyes, effectively reduce melanin, lighten eye bags, and also reduce swelling. In this case, simply using hot compress can only improve lighter eye bags caused by fatigue or sagging skin. You can improve eye circulation and effectively improve the problem of eye bags by applying hot compress and massage every night, but it requires long-term persistence. Normally, it is best to keep a few cucumbers at home, which can be used for cooking and beauty. The most important point is that cucumbers can relieve dark circles. If the bags under the eyes are formed by fat accumulation, they cannot be removed by hot compresses, and you can only consider solving it through surgery.

Should I apply hot or cold compress to my eye bags?

In the early stages of eye bags formation, acute cold compresses can inhibit the expansion of local skin and have a certain relieving effect on the entire eye bag. If the condition lasts for more than a week, try to use hot compresses to promote the elasticity of the local skin and help eliminate eye bags. However, if the bags under the eyes have been formed for a long time, it is not recommended to use hot or cold compresses to achieve the treatment effect, because this physical method is unlikely to bring about significant improvements in the local skin. Only surgery can remove eye bags and smooth the local skin condition under the eye bags. It is recommended that patients choose the surgical method according to their own situation. After getting up in the morning, you can massage your eyes first. The massage habit depends on you. Whether you have dark circles or not, it is very good to do an eye massage in the morning. Just 5 minutes is enough. If you have particularly heavy dark circles under your eyes when you wake up every morning, you can apply a hot towel to your eyes for about ten minutes, and the dark circles will be significantly relieved.

How to reduce eye bags

There are many reasons for swollen eye bags. If local congestion, swelling and pain occur on the eye bags, it may be caused by blepharitis or eyelid abscess. Consider local and systemic anti-inflammatory treatments, such as applying erythromycin eye ointment to the eyelid surface and taking oral cephalosporin antibiotics if there is no allergy. Once the pustules mature, the symptoms of swollen eyes will gradually improve after timely drainage. Some patients develop edema-like lumps on their eye bags and may also experience itching, which may be caused by allergies. Anti-allergic eye ointments, such as tobramycin dexamethasone eye ointment, are usually considered for treatment. Some patients may have subcutaneous hematoma under their eye bags due to trauma. Consider taking oral Yunnan Baiyao capsules and other blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, and apply hot compresses to the eyelids at the same time, and the hematoma will gradually subside.

How to remove eye bags and how much does surgery cost

The cost of the operation ranges from about 2,000 to 4,000 yuan. First of all, the operating environment for removing the bags under the eyes will affect the operation price. Secondly, the doctor's level affects the price of the eye bag removal operation. Finally, the examination before removing the bags will also affect the price of the bag removal operation. Therefore, before removing eye bags, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive and rigorous eye examination. The cost of these examinations should also be included in the cost of eye bag removal. After the eye bag removal surgery, cover the incision with gauze and apply light pressure. Rest in a supine position with the head elevated for 1-2 days, apply cold compresses, reduce eye activities, prevent postoperative bleeding, and reduce postoperative swelling reactions.
