There are two kinds of pouch removal surgery: internal incision and external incision. The time to return to normal is related to the choice of surgical methods, which cannot be generalized. Cut and take out the purse, because the surgical trauma is relatively large, and the stitches can be removed in about 1 week. Cyanosis around the eyes takes 2-3 weeks to slowly subside, and swelling takes 1-3 months to completely subside. Therefore, it takes about 3 months to remove the bags under the eyes through the external incision. In addition, the external pouch will have an incision at the position of the lower eyelid, so it takes a long time to recover, usually 3-6 months, and the imprint of the pouch will become unclear and close to the skin color.
It is recommended not to do strenuous exercise in daily life, because exercise may lead to bleeding. If the bags under the eyes are cut, contact lenses should be avoided after operation, and eye drops are still needed to prevent infection.
