Lower blepharoplasty explained by Dr. Onur Ogan MD, FEBOPRAS

Lower blepharoplasty, commonly known as lower eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the lower eyelids by addressing issues such as under-eye bags, puffiness, and sagging skin. This procedure can help individuals achieve a more youthful and refreshed look by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the lower eyelid area. *Key Information about Lower Blepharoplasty:* 1. **Purpose**: The primary goal of lower blepharoplasty is to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids by reducing the appearance of under-eye bags, correcting puffiness, and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. 2. **Candidates**: Suitable candidates for lower blepharoplasty are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the results, and are bothered by the appearance of their lower eyelids due to aging, genetics, or other factors. 3. **Procedure**: The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia and can take approximately 1-2 hours. Depending on the patient's specific needs, the surgeon may make incisions on the inside of the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) or below the lower lash line (subciliary approach). Excess fat, skin, and muscle are then removed or repositioned, and the incisions are closed with sutures. 4. **Recovery**: After the surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
