Assessing under-eye bags and the eyelid–cheek area
Under-eye bags, hollowness, loose skin and shadows can have different causes. An examination is needed to decide whether surgery, another treatment or no procedure is appropriate.
Our fee table lists Eye-Cheek Bag Removal separately from lower blepharoplasty. The label alone does not identify a particular surgical technique or establish that the two quotations cover the same treatment. Ask your surgeon to confirm the exact procedure, areas treated and fee in your individual plan.
For a broader explanation of lower-eyelid surgery, see upper and lower blepharoplasty. This page provides consultation information for the separately listed eye-cheek concern.

Price and quotation
The published Eye-Cheek Bag Removal range is $4,000–$7,000 CAD. See the authoritative fee table. Your surgeon will explain which treatment and quotation apply after assessment.
Prices include all fees and services except implants. Applicable taxes are additional. A personalized quotation is provided after consultation.
Who should consider an assessment?
A consultation may be useful if you have persistent bags, puffiness, excess lower-eyelid skin or a contour concern at the eyelid–cheek junction. The cause and appropriate treatment cannot be established from appearance alone.
Tell the surgeon about dry eyes, changes in vision, previous eye surgery and any medicines. Upper-eyelid crease concerns are different; see Asian blepharoplasty if this is your main goal. New or rapidly changing swelling or eye symptoms require medical assessment.
Discussing the treatment plan
Ask the surgeon which tissues would be treated, whether an incision is required, where it would be placed and what scars could remain. Surgery should not be described as non-surgical, and an internal incision does not mean that no surgery occurs.
Lower-eyelid procedures can use different approaches depending on anatomy and skin. Read our lower blepharoplasty technique comparison for general information. The name of a procedure does not replace an examination or a written treatment plan.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the recommended treatment and your healing. Discuss bruising, swelling, eye care, follow-up, work, driving and exercise before choosing a date. Early improvement is different from full healing; do not assume a complete recovery in two or three weeks.
See our eyelid surgery recovery guide and follow the individual instructions supplied by your surgical team.
Risks and questions before treatment
For surgical eyelid procedures, possible risks include bleeding, infection, scars, dry eyes, asymmetry, changes in eyelid position and further surgery. Serious vision complications can also occur. Your surgeon should explain the risks of the specific treatment recommended to you.
Sudden vision changes, severe eye pain or rapidly increasing swelling require urgent medical assessment. Do not wait for a routine online enquiry response if symptoms are urgent.
