What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the under-eye area by removing or repositioning fat and tightening delicate skin. This advanced technique smooths transitions from the lower lid to the cheek, reducing puffiness and shadows that can make you appear tired or aged. It is often chosen to correct:

  • Under-eye bags or bulging fat pads
  • Dark circles caused by fat displacement
  • Fine lines and creasing beneath the eyes
  • Hollowing or loss of contour at the lid-cheek junction
  • A fatigued or aged lower-eye appearance

Should You Get Lower Eyelid Surgery?

You may be an ideal candidate if you notice persistent puffiness, bags, or hollows beneath your eyes that do not improve with rest or skincare. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate skin quality, muscle tone, and fat distribution to develop a customized surgical plan suited to your anatomy and goals.

The Procedure Overview

  1. Anesthesia, either local with sedation or general anesthesia, is administered for comfort.
  2. A discreet incision is made beneath the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach).
  3. Fat deposits are repositioned or reduced to smooth the contour.
  4. Skin and muscle are refined for firmness and definition.
  5. Sutures are placed carefully for minimal visibility.

The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for the first week, gradually resolving within two weeks. Temporary tightness or dryness may occur but subsides quickly.

Many return to work within 7–10 days, with makeup and light activities resumed after two weeks. Final results become visible within six to eight weeks, revealing smoother, more rested eyes that enhance the entire face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will lower eyelid surgery remove dark circles?

It can reduce shadowing caused by fat displacement but may not fully eliminate pigment-related circles.

When can I return to exercise?

Light activity can resume in one week, with full exercise after three to four weeks.

Does it change my eye shape?

No. The goal is to refine and restore, not alter, your natural eye contours.
