Eye bags or under-eye bags, can’t tell the difference?

What?! There are still people who don’t know what eye bags are?

As the most popular makeup item for girls in recent years, if you mix it with eye bags, it will be out of date! In this case, Dongdong Miao can only take the trouble to explain it to you.

Eye bags and under-eye bags are not the same thing.

The bags under the eyes are congenital, caused by the thickening of the orbicularis oculi muscle. They are elastic and oval in shape, making the eyes look more lively and beautiful. Medically, they are called "eye platforms". They are located just below the eyelashes and are closer to the eyes, making them more obvious when you smile.

"Eye bag" is also the name we give it, because it looks like a silkworm lying on the edge of the lower eyelashes, so this name can be said to be quite vivid and appropriate.

Because the shape of the eye bags looks like a gold ingot, there is a folk saying that eye bags can bring in wealth and fortune. There is even a legend that eye bags indicate good relationships with the opposite sex! They also make the eyes look more charming, and are also called smile muscles.

If you don’t have natural eye bags, you can also get them through hyaluronic acid injections, collagen fillings, or “eye bag reconstruction” plastic surgery. Of course, powerful makeup techniques and beauty software can also come in handy, and their abilities should not be underestimated.

Eye bags are different. They are larger than eye bags and mostly occur on the lower eyelid. They are caused by loose eyelid skin or excessive hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi muscle, as well as accumulation of fat balls in the orbital septum, forming local bag-like bulges in the eyelid area. They also appear to be sagging and are relatively far away from the eyes.

It is bag-shaped and triangular-shaped, loose and makes people look old. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. No matter what movement they make, it has the same shape.

However, don’t think that you don’t have to worry about this before you reach a certain age. Factors such as genetics, long-term poor work and rest habits, and use of bad cosmetics can also cause bags under the eyes.

If you want to use eye cream to treat your heavy eye bags, I'm afraid it won't be effective. The most common way to eliminate eye bags is surgery.

The surgeries are divided into lower eyelid conjunctival incision blepharoplasty, skin incision subcutaneous peeling, lower eyelid skin muscle flap, orbital fat preservation and orbicularis oculi muscle suspension.

In addition to surgical treatment, you can also try traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Electroacupuncture, electrothermal needle, acupoint application and other methods are also effective in treating eye bags.
