Lower blepharoplasty

What is LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY SURGERY?

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and muscle from lower eyelids along with underlying fatty tissue. Lower blepharoplasty can improve drooping skin and bagginess. Lower blepharoplasty will not remove “crow’s feet” or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under the eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. Lower blepharoplasty surgery is customized for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs. It can be performed alone involving upper, lower or both eyelid regions, or in conjunction with other surgical procedures of the eye, face, brow, or nose. Eyelid surgery cannot stop the process of aging. It can however, diminish the look of loose skin and bagginess in the eyelid region. You have to discuss the procedure with your surgeon with expectations which are realistic. Surgery may be done using a local anesthetic, sedation, or general anesthesia depending on the extent of the procedure.
