Why Choose Lower Blepharoplasty?

This procedure is ideal for those experiencing:

  • Under-eye bags or puffiness.
  • Wrinkles or loose skin under the eyes.
  • Dark circles or a tired appearance.

By removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening the skin, lower blepharoplasty creates smoother, more youthful-looking lower eyelids.

Are You a Candidate for Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, excess skin, and puffiness, providing a more youthful appearance. But how do you know if you’re a good candidate?

1. Ideal Candidates

  • Good health: No serious medical conditions.
  • Realistic expectations: Understand the results and limitations.
  • No active eye conditions: Conditions like glaucoma or dry eyes may disqualify you.

2. Common Concerns Treated

  • Under-eye bags, excess skin, and fine lines can be improved with lower bleph.

3. Age Considerations

  • Typically recommended for those over 35, but younger patients with hereditary issues may benefit too.

4. Non-Surgical Alternatives

  • For mild concerns, fillers or lasers may be an option.

What to Expect

The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours. The surgeon may make small incisions either inside the lower eyelid or beneath the lash line to remove or reposition fat, then tighten the skin. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients resuming normal activities in 7-10 days.

Risks and Recovery

Potential risks include infection, scarring, or changes in eyelid function, though these are rare. Following post-surgery care instructions helps minimize complications. Full results typically appear within a few weeks, with final results visible after 3-6 months.

Is It Right for You?

If you’re looking to improve the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, or wrinkles under your eyes, lower blepharoplasty may be a great option. Consult with a skilled surgeon to determine if it's the right choice for you.
