Lower blepharoplasty is suitable for people who want to correct the appearance of the pads or dark circles under the eyes, which give a tired or aged appearance. This procedure is recommended for those with lax skin, localized fat deposits, or fine wrinkles in the lower eyelid area.
The intervention involves the removal or repositioning of the fat in the lower eyelid area, as well as the correction of excess skin and the toning of the local musculature. The incisions are made either on the lash line or on the inside of the eyelid, to minimize visible scars. The procedure is individually adapted, depending on the type of changes present and the patient’s wishes.
Lower blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s preferences. The duration of the intervention is on average 60 to 90 minutes.
Applying cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising is recommended. Moderate discomfort and a slight sensation of tension in the eye area may occur.
The swelling and bruising begin to decrease gradually. The sutures, if external, can be removed after approximately 5-7 days. Avoiding intense physical effort and sun exposure is recommended.
Most postoperative signs disappear, and the eye area takes on a more rested and rejuvenated appearance. Usual activities can be resumed gradually, with caution regarding exposure to irritating factors.
The final results become visible after approximately 3 months, when the tissues have fully recovered.
All these risks are minimized through rigorous preoperative evaluation, precise surgical technique, and careful monitoring during the postoperative period.
The pain is generally minimal and can be managed effectively with prescribed analgesics. Most patients experience discomfort rather than intense pain.
Most patients return to usual activities in approximately 7-10 days, avoiding, however, intense physical effort and prolonged sun exposure in the first few weeks.
The incisions are placed so that the scars are as minimally visible as possible, either hidden on the lash line or on the inside of the eyelid, and they fade over time.
Depending on the doctor’s recommendation and the patient’s general condition, lower blepharoplasty can be combined with other aesthetic interventions, but this aspect is discussed during the preoperative consultation.
