Correcting eye bags through the conjunctival incision approach (i.e. the inner side of the eyelid approach) has achieved good results in some patients. Since there is no external scar after the operation, it is commonly known as "scarless eye bag removal surgery."

The method of scarless eye bag removal also has obvious disadvantages, that is, the existing skin and its underlying muscle fascia system still have looseness after the operation. For some older patients, the skin loosening phenomenon may be more serious after this operation. Therefore, it is not impossible to remove eye bags through conjunctival incision, that is, scarless eye bag removal. Its applicable scope is: younger patients with simple orbital fat bulging, no skin looseness or only mild skin and muscle fascia looseness.
