Lower blepharoplasty: The secret to a refreshed, youthful look

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty aimed at rejuvenating the area beneath the eyes. Over time, the lower eyelids can develop puffiness, under-eye bags, loose skin, and fine lines due to the combined effects of ageing, genetics, and lifestyle factors. 

This procedure addresses these concerns by:

• Removing or repositioning excess fat that leads to puffiness or under-eye bags
• Tightening loose or sagging skin under the eyes
• Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles for a more refreshed look

Unlike non-surgical treatments, lower eyelid blepharoplasty provides long-lasting results, restoring a youthful and rested appearance while preserving your natural facial features. It’s suitable for anyone looking to reduce signs of fatigue or ageing in the under-eye area.

Lower blepharoplasty is ideal for individuals seeking to rejuvenate the area beneath their eyes and reduce signs of ageing. 

Good candidates for lower blepharoplasty typically have:

• Puffiness or  under eye bags caused by excess fat
• Sagging or loose skin under the eyes
• Fine lines or wrinkles in the lower eyelid area
• A desire for a refreshed, youthful appearance without altering their natural facial features

Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be free from medical conditions that could affect surgery or recovery. Non-smokers, or those willing to quit before and after the procedure, tend to experience the best outcomes.

• Restores a natural, refreshed look – Enhances your facial harmony without changing your unique features.
• Boosts confidence – A rejuvenated under-eye area can make you feel more awake, alert, and self-assured.
• Long-lasting results – Unlike creams or fillers, the results of lower eye blepharoplasty are typically long-term, helping maintain a youthful appearance for years.

Lower lid blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the area beneath your eyes. The process begins with a consultation, during which your surgeon evaluates your under-eye area and discusses your goals, determining whether excess fat removal, repositioning, or skin tightening is necessary.

During the procedure, anaesthesia is used to ensure your comfort, and the surgeon carefully makes an incision either inside the lower eyelid or just beneath the lash line. This enables them to remove or reposition fat that causes puffiness or under-eye bags and to tighten any loose skin for a smoother, firmer appearance. 

The incisions are then carefully closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring, leaving your under-eye area looking naturally refreshed.

Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth healing process and optimal results following lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Key tips include:

• Rest and elevate your head: Keep your head elevated, even while sleeping, to reduce swelling and promote faster healing.
• Manage swelling and bruising: Use cold compresses during the first 48 hours to minimise puffiness and bruising.
• Take medications as prescribed: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for pain relief and to prevent infection.
• Avoid strenuous activity: Refrain from heavy exercise, bending, or lifting for at least 1–2 weeks.
• Protect your eyes from sunlight: Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen to shield the sensitive area around your lower eyelids.
• Follow-up appointments: Attend all scheduled visits so your surgeon can monitor healing and remove sutures if necessary.
• Avoid rubbing or touching the eyes: Gentle care ensures incisions heal properly and reduces the risk of complications.

Following these steps helps ensure a smoother recovery and enhances the long-lasting, natural results of your lower blepharoplasty.

One of the most rewarding aspects of lower blepharoplasty is its long-lasting results. 

Unlike temporary solutions such as creams or fillers, this procedure addresses the underlying causes of under-eye bags, puffiness, and sagging skin, providing a smoother, firmer, and naturally youthful appearance that can last for many years.

While ageing will continue naturally, the improvements achieved through lower blepharoplasty are typically permanent in the treated areas. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from sun damage, and following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions can help prolong the results.
