Lower eyelid Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes bags, excess skin, dark circles and wrinkles from the lower eyelid. The lower eyelids age in many different ways and can show signs of aging at different ages. I see young patients who develop lower eyelid bags in their 20s and I also see some patients in their late 70s that are exploring plastic surgery for the first time.

Most patients start to notice in their 30s and 40s changes in their lower eyelids that they don’t like. These changes can include bags, wrinkles, hollows, and dark circles. Lower lid blepharoplasty is an excellent way to address these changes.

Lower lid blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure that is done in my private surgical suite. You go home the same day, and recovery is relatively quick and easy. There are two approaches for the lower lids. One is called a subciliary approach, which involves an incision just under the eyelashes. The other is a transconjunctival approach. where all the work is hidden and done from the inside of the eyelid. I will discuss both in detail with you and will choose the approach that best fits your goals and lifestyle.
