Nobody can deny that puffiness or bags under the eyes are unpleasant, and the problem is that they can occur at any time, and happen to anyone and make-up can only blemish them to some extent.

Pari Shams, a consultant oculoplastic surgeon, described why some people have bags under their eyes and how it can be corrected with surgery; "Each eyeball is padded with a soft layer of fat to protect it from impact injuries. Because the collagen and elastin structure of the skin beneath the eye is weaker and more easily distorted than the skin structure of your cheek just below, some of this fat leaks out over time in some people. Because there is little to keep the skin structure under the eyes securely in place, the fat layer accumulates as bags under the eyes.

Bags under the eyes could also be caused by other factors, such as salty foods or underlying heart problems. Once all other causes have been eliminated, eye bag removal surgery, or Blepharoplasty as it is known in medical terms, is the best long-term treatment.”

Miss Shams specialises in the treatment of eyelid, lacrimal, and orbital diseases and her clinical practice includes a wide range of cosmetic, reconstructive, and lacrimal and orbital surgeries. Throughout the course of her 17-year career, she has performed multiple blepharoplasty procedures and, as an expert in her area, has garnered numerous accolades and recognitions.

Her professional career has advanced due to her dedication to her field of specialisation, several years of practical experience, and assistance from some of the country's finest eye doctors. Ms Shams not only specialises in the diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgery of a variety of eye diseases, but she also performs cosmetic surgery to help individuals improve their facial appearance.

Whether a patient desires cosmetic or functional blepharoplasty surgery, Miss Shams always considers good health first, as well as strong muscles and ample facial tissue, before she performs any surgical treatments. She will also first address any other potentially concerning issues, such as an eye infection, to ensure her patient is ready to receive the treatment.

Miss Shams consults private patients at the Phoenix Hospital Group Outpatient Centre, the Harley Street Clinic, and Weymouth Street Hospital in addition to being a full-time consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, where she makes decisions in collaboration with her patients to ensure they receive the best care and treatment for a desirable aesthetic outcome.
