What is Lower Eyelid Surgery and What Should I Expect?

If you have bags under your eyes, a Lower Blepharoplasty can help remove your extra “baggage.” Lower Blepharoplasty, also known as a Lower Eyelid Lift, is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower eyelid to reduce the appearance of puffy, tired eyes.

Why Do Lower Eyelid Bags Occur?

When you age, the skin and muscle of your lower eyelids tend to stretch. This causes a decrease in support and the once taut skin and muscle that held your lower eyelid fat in now allows it to bulge out.

What Can Lower Blepharoplasty Correct?

Reduces baggy, puffy lower eyelids.
Helps improve droopy lower eyelids and scleral show. Scleral show is when too much of the white part of your eye is showing.
Restores a more youthful appearance around the eyes

This procedure can also be combined with a brow lift, face lift, or a skin resurfacing procedure.

Post Procedure Protocols

After The Procedure, It Is Normal To Experience The Following:

Watering Eyes
Light Sensitivity
Blurred vision (from the eye ointment or swelling)
