Lower Blepharoplasty

Few things can make us look as aged and tired as the under-eye area. With each passing day, the
mirror can reflect back an appearance that does not match with how alive and vibrant you still feel inside. When this disconnect between your inner and outer self happens, it can affect everything from mood to self-confidence. With lower blepharoplasty, we aim to restore that balance through a modern cosmetic option.

toward achieving your best.

What Is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Also called lower eyelid surgery, this procedure focuses on refreshing and restoring the lower eye area. This area is especially vulnerable to aging, leading to features such as a sunken look, thin skin, and dark circles. This procedure aims to tackle any and all of these concerns through subtle changes in skin, fat, and tissue placement.

What Is the Procedure Like?

A typical lower eyelid procedure takes about 1-2 hours, depending on your unique plan. You can be sure you will be comfortable the entire time, as we match patients with their ideal anesthesia option according to their needs. After your procedure, you will be able to return home the same day with someone driving you.

Patients can also combine eyelid surgery with other cosmetic procedures for a fully
optimized experience. Common combinations include upper eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or non-surgical treatments.

What Is the Recovery Process?

Lower blepharoplasty targets a small area, but it is still important to give your body the care and time it needs to fully recover. Remember: a smoother recovery means better results in the long run. That is why we generally recommend patients start with about 1-2 weeks of downtime, using this time to rest and avoid any strenuous activity. After your procedure, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and pain. But we work with you to provide medical prescriptions and care tips to manage all of these until they subside.

It is also normal for patients to come in for a follow-up visit before returning totheir daily routines. Dr. Sohrab will check on your healing progress and let you know what you can start doing again. We are also always happy to provide additional answers to questions or information at any point in your recovery. Simply give us a call and we will be glad to help in any way we can.

When Can I See Results?

Lower blepharoplasty provides immediate, complex changes to the lower eye area. And once you see your final results, you can enjoy your rejuvenated appearance for years to come. But be sure to follow our care suggestions and enjoy healthy habits to get the most out of your results.

Most patients can begin seeing their results within a few weeks as the swelling subsides. Still, it can take months to a year for swelling to completely resolve, after which you can see your final and full results. While aging can continue, healthy habits and good facial care can help you preserve your results well into the future.
