Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that targets the concerns of the lower eyelids. It addresses puffiness or bags under the eyes, loose or sagging skin, and sometimes fine wrinkles in the lower eyelid area.

If you’re bothered by the appearance of puffiness, bags, or loose skin under your eyes, lower blepharoplasty might be a good option for you. However, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for surgery. They will consider your medical history, facial anatomy, and expectations to determine if blepharoplasty is the right approach.

During your consultation, the surgeon will thoroughly examine your eyelids, take medical history, and discuss your desired outcome. They will explain the different surgical techniques, potential risks and side effects, and answer any questions you may have. Be sure to come prepared with your own questions and realistic expectations.

Lower blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia with twilight sedation. The surgeon will make incisions along the lower lash line or inside the eyelid to access the underlying tissues. Excess fat may be removed or repositioned, and sagging skin tightened. The incisions are then meticulously closed with sutures.
