Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty) – FAQs

1. What is lower eyelid surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, creates a more refreshed appearance by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle under the eyes, which reduces bags, puffiness, and wrinkles.

2. Who is a good candidate?

  • Individuals with under-eye bags, puffiness, or loose skin

  • Patients who appear tired even when well-rested

  • Those in good health with realistic expectations

3. How is the procedure performed?

  • Transconjunctival approach: incision inside the eyelid, used when removing or repositioning fat without removing skin

  • Subciliary approach: incision just below the lash line, allowing removal of excess skin and fat

  • The choice depends on the patient’s anatomy and goals.

4. How long does the surgery take?
Typically 1–2 hours, often under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

5. Is lower eyelid surgery painful?
Discomfort is usually mild and easily managed with pain medication. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are expected during the first week.

6. How long is recovery?

  • Stitches removed: 5–7 days (if external incisions are used)

  • Return to normal activities: 7–10 days

  • Swelling and bruising improve within 2–3 weeks

  • Final results: 2–3 months

7. Will there be visible scars?
When the incision is made inside the eyelid, no visible scars remain. External incisions (under the lash line) usually heal with fine, barely visible scars.

8. How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, though natural aging may eventually cause changes in the under-eye area.

9. What are the risks?

  • Getting an infection or swelling that lasts longer than expected.
  • Temporary dryness or irritation in the eyes.
  • The results might not look even or symmetrical, or you may not be happy with how they look.
  • In very rare cases, if too much skin is removed, the lower eyelid might droop outward.

10. Can lower eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Surgeons often combine it with an upper blepharoplasty, facelift, or fat transfer to comprehensively rejuvenate the face.
