Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure

Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)

Lower blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address common concerns in the lower eyelid area, including under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin. These conditions can create a perpetually tired or aged appearance, even when you're well-rested.

As we age, the tissues and muscles supporting the lower eyelids weaken, and fat that normally helps support the eyes can protrude into the lower eyelids, creating a puffy appearance. Additionally, fluid may accumulate beneath the eyes, adding to the swollen look.

At Neoderma Clinica, our expert surgeons perform lower blepharoplasty with meticulous attention to detail, carefully removing or repositioning fat deposits, tightening muscles, and removing excess skin to create a smoother, more youthful contour between the lower eyelid and cheek.

Frequently Asked Questions

With the transconjunctival approach, incisions are made inside the lower eyelid, resulting in no visible external scars. With the transcutaneous approach, incisions are made just below the lower lash line where they are well-concealed. These scars typically fade significantly over time and are rarely noticeable. Our surgeons use meticulous techniques to ensure the most discreet scarring possible.

Yes, lower blepharoplasty is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive results. Common combinations include upper blepharoplasty, facelift, brow lift, or non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers to address tear troughs or cheek volume loss. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss which combination of procedures might best address your concerns.

Lower blepharoplasty primarily addresses puffiness, bags, and excess skin. While it may improve the appearance of dark circles caused by shadowing from bags, it does not directly treat dark circles caused by pigmentation or thin skin. For comprehensive treatment of dark circles, your surgeon may recommend additional treatments such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser therapy in conjunction with surgery.

Results from lower blepharoplasty are typically long-lasting. While the procedure removes existing fat deposits and excess skin, it cannot stop the natural aging process. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits can influence how long results last. Many patients never need a second procedure, while others may choose a touch-up after many years.
