Lower Blepharoplasty
Restore a Smooth, Youthful Appearance to Your Under-Eyes
Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin. It restores a smoother, more youthful appearance by tightening and rejuvenating the lower eyelid area.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses common signs of ageing around the eyes, such as sagging skin, dark circles, and fat pockets. These issues can create a tired or aged look. During the procedure, excess fat is either removed or repositioned, and loose skin is trimmed or tightened to create a firmer, more refreshed contour.
In some cases, a transconjunctival approach is used, where the incision is made inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scar. The result is a brighter, more youthful under-eye area with a natural-looking finish.
Procedure Time: 1–2 hours
Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia
