What is lower blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty is surgery of the lower eyelid that typically addresses issues such as puffiness, bags under the eyes, and wrinkles, which can make a person look tired or older. During the procedure, a surgeon removes or repositions excess fat, skin, and sometimes muscle from the lower eyelids.

If you have any of these symptoms, this operation is indeed for you.

During the procedure

The lower blepharoplasty will begin by gently administering local anesthesia to numb the area of the lower eyelid. A small incision will be made with precision just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid, ensuring minimal visible scarring. The excess skin, muscle, and fat contributing to the puffiness and bags under the eyes will be carefully removed or repositioned. Once the adjustments are satisfactory, the incision will be meticulously closed with fine stitches, concealed within the natural lines of the eyelid to enhance the lower eyelid's smooth, youthful contour.
