Lower Eyelid Surgery

The eyes are one of the most engaging and noticeable features of the face, and they play a big role when it comes to your overall appearance. Unfortunately, the eyes are also a very sensitive area, as the skin is thin and delicate, which makes it susceptible to factors like sun exposure, aging, and more. When it comes to the lower eyelids, issues like puffy bags, loose skin, or hollowness can give the eyes a constantly tired or aged appearance. At Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale and Chandler, AZ, we offer lower eyelid surgery that can correct these issues and restore the youthful appearance of your eyes.

What is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

As we get older, the effects of aging impact areas of the face differently. For many people, the lower eyelids can be a source of aesthetic concerns because the thin skin can become stretched and loose due to natural collagen loss and physical stress from repeated skin stretching. This can give the lower eyelids a crepey or wrinkled appearance. In other cases, weakening eyelid tissues can cause fat to shift around the lower eye, leading to issues such as hollowness, dark circles, or puffy bags under the eyes.

Also known as lower blepharoplasty, lower eyelid surgery is a cosmetic facial procedure that can correct these issues by trimming excess skin and removing or repositioning fat from the lower eyelid to give the eyes a more youthful, energized appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery can help older patients look as young as they feel and restore their confidence in their appearance. It can also help patients who may be experiencing premature signs of aging around the eyes due to genetics or other factors. Some of the benefits of lower eyelid surgery include:

  • Reduced puffiness and bagginess under the eyes
  • Smoother and tighter lower eyelids
  • Fuller undereyes with smoother contours
  • A rejuvenated and more youthful appearance

Who Are the Best Candidates for Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Good candidates for lower eyelid surgery in Chandler and Scottsdale, AZ, should be in good general health. It is important that patients have realistic expectations and goals for their procedure. Eyelid surgery is best reserved for men and women who have moderate to severe lower eyelid issues. The ideal candidates for lower eyelid surgery are those who:

  • Have moderate to severe undereye wrinkles

How to Begin Your Lower Eyelid Surgery Journey

The process begins by finding a qualified plastic surgeon whom you trust to perform your lower eyelid surgery. From there, the process becomes figuring out what your goals are for your surgery.

  1. Meet With Dr. Ramyar Torabi: Your consultation is designed to evaluate concerns such as puffiness, under-eye hollowness, loose skin, and lower eyelid laxity. Dr. Torabi will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and overall eye structure to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for natural-looking rejuvenation.
  2. Discuss Your Goals and Treatment Plan: Lower eyelid surgery is highly individualized. Some patients benefit from conservative fat repositioning for smoother contours, while others may require skin tightening or support procedures to improve lower eyelid definition. Your surgical plan will be customized around your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
  3. Review Recovery and Surgical Details: During your consultation, you’ll receive detailed guidance regarding anesthesia, recovery timelines, swelling and bruising expectations, and when you can safely return to work, exercise, and travel following surgery.
  4. Schedule Your Procedure With Confidence: Once you feel fully informed and comfortable with your treatment plan, our team will help coordinate your surgery date and provide personalized pre-operative instructions to help make the process smooth and stress-free.

What to Expect on the Day of Lower Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Torabi will perform your lower eyelid surgery at Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale or Chandler, AZ. Our team will greet you when you arrive and prepare you for surgery to make sure you are calm and comfortable. Lower eyelid surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and you will be able to return home the day of your surgery.

Depending on the issues being addressed through surgery, a small incision may be made inside the lower eyelid or beneath the lower lashline. Both incisions will be well hidden, minimizing scarring for a natural-looking result. From there, excess skin can be removed, and fat can be repositioned or removed to achieve the desired look. Once completed, the incision will be carefully sutured shut and the eyelids will be dressed.
