The Details Behind a Refined, Natural Transformation With a Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct puffiness, sagging skin, or dark circles beneath the eyes caused by aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors. By refining the shape and tone of the lower eyelids, this procedure brightens the eyes and rejuvenates the entire face. Lower blepharoplasty can address:

  • Puffy or bulging under-eye bags
  • Loose, wrinkled, or sagging skin beneath the eyes
  • Fat deposits or shadows that create a tired appearance
  • Loss of definition between the eyelid and cheek junction

What to Expect During the Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure

Your consultation includes a comprehensive assessment of facial structure, skin tone, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Duncan develops a personalized surgical plan that maintains natural eyelid function and proportion.

  1. The procedure is performed under local or light sedation.

  2. A discreet incision is made inside the lower eyelid or along the lash line.

  3. Fat is repositioned or removed to smooth the contour beneath the eye.

  4. Excess skin is carefully trimmed and tightened for a refined, youthful finish.

  5. The incision is closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.

Recovery and Results

Recovery is generally smooth, with most patients returning to daily activities within 7–10 days. Temporary swelling and bruising subside over two to three weeks. Results continue to refine as tissues settle, revealing brighter, smoother contours that last for years. Proper skin care and sun protection help maintain these refreshed results.

Choosing the Right Lower Blepharoplasty for You

Different techniques may be used based on anatomy and goals:

  • Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: Incision inside the eyelid to remove or reposition fat without external scars.
  • Skin-Pinch Technique: Minimal removal of excess skin to tighten the lower eyelid.
  • Fat Repositioning Blepharoplasty: Redistributes fat to fill hollows and smooth transitions.
  • Combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty: Comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation for balanced results.

Other Procedures That Pair Well With Lower Blepharoplasty

  • Upper Blepharoplasty: Addresses drooping upper eyelids for a more open, youthful look.
  • Brow Lift: Elevates sagging brows that contribute to eyelid heaviness.
  • Facial Fat Transfer: Restores lost volume and smooths transitions in the midface.
  • Laser Skin Resurfacing: Improves fine lines and texture for enhanced eyelid results.
