Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids. This surgery helps reduce under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Lower blepharoplasty is suitable for individuals who are bothered by under-eye bags, puffiness, or sagging skin in the lower eyelids. You may be an ideal candidate for lower blepharoplasty if you:
Have excess skin or fat deposits in the lower eyelids
Experience under-eye bags or dark circles that make you look tired or older
Desire a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance to the lower eyelids
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
Dr. Schwarcz will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if lower blepharoplasty is the right option for you based on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.
While lower blepharoplasty offers significant benefits for many individuals, certain factors may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Have certain medical conditions that may increase the risk of complications during surgery
Have unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Dr. Schwarcz will carefully assess your medical history and condition during your consultation to ensure that lower blepharoplasty is safe and appropriate for you.
Lower blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under sedation anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Schwarcz will make discreet incisions either on the inside of the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) or beneath the lower lash line (subciliary approach, also known as "Skin Pinch"). Through these incisions, he will remove excess fat, tighten or reposition underlying muscles, and if necessary trim excess skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful contour to the lower eyelids.
Dr. Schwarcz's meticulous techniques ensure minimal scarring and natural-looking results. In many cases, he combines lower blepharoplasty with a fat transfer to the lower eyelids and CO2 laser treatment to further enhance the overall appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas.
Following lower blepharoplasty, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a week or two. Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help manage any discomfort and promote optimal healing.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a week after the procedure, although strenuous exercise and activities that may strain the eyes should be avoided for a few weeks. Dr. Schwarcz will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery process.
