What Is Lower Blepharoplasty?
Common Concerns Lower Blepharoplasty Can Address
- Persistent under-eye bags
- Puffiness that does not improve with rest
- Loose or crepey skin beneath the eyes
- Hollow or shadowed under-eye areas
- An aged or fatigued appearance
By restoring a smoother lower eyelid contour, the procedure can create a more refreshed appearance while maintaining the natural character of the eyes and face.
Lower Blepharoplasty Technique and Approach
In many cases, Dr. Díaz-Vélez uses state-of-the-art laser technology to assist in the procedure. She uses the laser to help create tiny, highly precise incisions. The laser cauterizes as it works, which essentially means that it stops the bleeding by sealing the blood vessels.
The use of a laser allows for delicate tissue handling, reduced bruising, and improved skin tightening, especially for patients with fine lines or mild laxity under the eyes.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for several days following surgery. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and comfort. You can expect a smoother under-eye contour and a refreshed, rested appearance once the area has fully healed.
Results are long-lasting, and when combined with good skincare and sun protection, they can endure for many years. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor recovery and support optimal results.
