The Procedure:
Lower Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin, fat, and puffiness from the lower eyelids to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The process includes:
- Incision Placement: Depending on the patient’s needs, incisions are made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach) to minimize scarring.
- Fat & Skin Adjustment: Excess fat is repositioned or removed, and loose skin is tightened to create a refreshed look.
- Closure & Healing: Incisions are carefully closed using fine sutures, ensuring a natural and seamless result.
Recovery:
The recovery process is relatively quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 10-14 days. Common aspects of recovery include:
- Mild swelling and bruising, which typically subside within one to two weeks
- Cold compresses and prescribed medications to reduce discomfort
- Avoiding strenuous activities for at least two weeks
- Wearing sunglasses to protect the delicate eye area from sun exposure
- Final results becoming visible within a few months, as residual swelling disappears
Post-Op Care & Precautions:
To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, patients should:
✔️ Keep the head elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling
✔️ Apply cold compresses as instructed by the surgeon
✔️ Use prescribed eye drops to keep the eyes lubricated and reduce irritation
✔️ Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on the eyes for the first two weeks
✔️ Follow all post-op instructions provided by the surgeon for optimal healing
