Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)

Lower Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove or reposition under-eye fat and trim away excess sagging skin. It creates a smoother, refreshed appearance by eliminating eye bags and tightening wrinkles in the lower eyelid area.

Who it suits

Individuals with prominent fat bags under the eyes.
People with sagging skin or deep wrinkles in the lower eyelid area.
Those looking to correct a tired or aged appearance caused by eye bags.

Technique highlights

Dual correction of both excess fat and sagging skin in one procedure.
Sub-ciliary incision technique placed tightly against the lash line to minimize visible scarring.
Fat repositioning option to fill deep tear troughs for a smoother transition.

Surgical steps

The surgeon marks the incision line directly below the lower eyelashes.
Administration of anesthesia (usually IV sedation) for patient comfort.
Incision is made to access the underlying fat pads and muscle.
Excess fat is either removed or repositioned to smooth out the lower eye area.
Surplus sagging skin is trimmed away to tighten the eyelid surface.
The incision is carefully closed with fine sutures along the lash line.

Recovery & aftercare

Major swelling and bruising typically subside within 1 week.
Avoid wearing contact lenses or heavy eye makeup for at least 2 weeks.
Keep the head elevated while sleeping for the first few days to reduce swelling.
Follow-up appointment for stitch removal is required 7 days post-operation.

Risks & things to consider

Possible temporary bruising, swelling, or dry eyes after surgery.
Risk of ectropion (eyelid turning outward) if too much skin is removed.
Patients with existing eye conditions or glaucoma should consult an ophthalmologist first.
Results may vary based on individual skin elasticity and aging process.
