Lower eyelid surgery is a plastic surgery procedure performed when the lower eyelids sag or develop bags due to aging or genetic factors.
This surgery aims to address sagging skin, excess fat tissue, or bulging in the lower eye area.
The surgery is generally conducted under local anesthesia or sometimes under general anesthesia. Our surgical team performs necessary procedures to remove excess skin from the lower eyelid, correct bulging fat tissue, or create a more youthful and refreshed appearance in the lower eye area.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty encompasses a range of surgical techniques aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the lower eyelids. Historically, it involved the removal of skin and/or fat to address wrinkles, skin redundancy, and fat bulges. Modern trends, however, focus on tissue preservation, incorporating techniques like orbital and sub-orbicularis fat repositioning and fat transfer to restore volume lost during facial aging. Non-surgical options, such as hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers and light-based treatments, have also gained popularity as alternatives or adjuncts to surgical blepharoplasty.
Thorough medical and ophthalmic history is obtained, covering current illnesses, medications, allergies, dry eye symptoms, and relevant lifestyle factors. Patient goals and expectations are discussed.
A comprehensive examination includes visual acuity, tear film evaluation, lower eyelid laxity, skin assessment, evaluation of fat distribution, and assessment of globe position and asymmetries. Standard external photographs are taken before surgery.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure addressing aging-related changes in the lower eyelids. It involves careful patient selection, various surgical techniques, and potential adjunct procedures. Postoperative care is crucial, and complications, although rare, should be managed promptly. As with any surgical decision, thorough evaluation by a plastic surgeon is essential.
