Lower Eyelid Lift

Lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid lift) – Lower eyelid “bags” or puffiness can be caused by pseudoherniation or pooching of fat from inside the orbit outward. This can be corrected with surgery. The fat causing the bags can be removed and/or repositioned, suturing it lower over the cheek to fill in the hollow that appears below the fat. This can dramatically improve overall facial appearance, making patients appear rejuvenated and well-rested.

Recovery from lower eyelid surgery takes a little bit longer than upper eyelid surgery. Depending on the technique used, bruising and swelling usually last about 1-2 weeks.
