Features & Benefits

Reduction of Under-Eye Bags

Lower blepharoplasty can effectively remove or reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, which are often caused by the accumulation of excess fat and loose skin in the lower eyelid area. This can result in a more rested and youthful appearance.

Treatment of Dark Circles

In some cases, lower blepharoplasty can help improve the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. If the dark circles are caused by shadowing due to bulging fat pads, the surgical removal or repositioning of these fat pads can result in a brighter and more refreshed look.

Smoothing of Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Lower blepharoplasty can address wrinkles, fine lines, and creases that may have developed around the lower eyelids. By removing excess skin and tightening the skin in the area, the procedure can contribute to smoother and tighter skin texture.

Enhanced Facial Harmony

The eyes play a significant role in facial aesthetics. Lower blepharoplasty can help restore balance and harmony to the face by addressing signs of aging and fatigue around the eyes. This can result in an overall more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

 Lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids. It involves removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes tightening the muscles to reduce under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles.

Good candidates for lower blepharoplasty are individuals who have under-eye bags, puffiness, or excess skin that makes them appear tired or aged. It is important to have realistic expectations about the results and be in good overall health.

Lower blepharoplasty can be performed using various techniques, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Generally, small incisions are made either inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) or just below the eyelashes (subciliary approach). Through these incisions, excess fat is removed or repositioned, and the skin and muscles are tightened if necessary.

Lower blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The choice of anesthesia depends on factors such as the extent of the procedure and patient preference.

 After lower blepharoplasty, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort around the eyes. Cold compresses and prescribed medication can help manage these symptoms. The stitches are usually removed within a week. Recovery time varies, but most individuals can return to work and normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. It may take several weeks to see the final results as swelling subsides.

Like any surgical procedure, lower blepharoplasty carries some risks and potential complications. These can include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, dry eyes, temporary or permanent changes in sensation, and difficulty closing the eyes fully. It is important to discuss these potential risks with your surgeon and follow their pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize complications.

The results of lower blepharoplasty are long-lasting, but the natural aging process can still affect the appearance of the lower eyelids over time. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and take care of your skin to help prolong the results.

Yes, lower blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures, such as upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) or other facial rejuvenation surgeries, to achieve more comprehensive results. Combining procedures can often provide a more harmonious overall appearance.
