Consultation and Planning
Lower blepharoplasty is performed to reduce under-eye bags, smooth fine lines, and rejuvenate the lower eyelid area. Skin texture, fat distribution, and muscle tone will be evaluated to determine the most appropriate surgical technique. The goal is to achieve a well-rested, natural appearance without overcorrection.
Procedure Details
This procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. Depending on the approach, a small incision may be placed inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival) or just below the lash line. Excess fat is repositioned or removed, and the skin may be tightened if needed. Incisions are carefully closed to ensure minimal scarring.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising may persist for 10 to 14 days. Cold compresses and head elevation are recommended to reduce inflammation. Most patients resume normal activities within two weeks, following specific aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Results
Lower blepharoplasty eliminates puffiness and softens fine lines under the eyes, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The results are long-lasting and enhance overall facial vitality.
