Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page describes removing excess eyelid skin and fat from the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both, with incisions concealed in the natural eyelid structures; it lists correction of bags under the eyes as a use of the procedure (blepharoplasty).
- Fat transfer. A facial fat transfer page under the eyelid-rejuvenation section states the technique treats "sunken under eyes" along with sagging cheeks and jowls, using the patient's own fat removed by liposuction from a donor site such as the abdomen (source).
