LOWER LID BLEPH

Answer 1

Aging causes an accumulation of excess skin on the upper eyelid that descends over the eyelashes and may, in the most severe cases, interfere with your vision. Some protuberances known as palpebral bags (“baggy eyelids”) may also appear on the lower eyelid, which is simply fat that is misplaced when the supporting tissue becomes slack. Sometimes, a pigmented deep crease can be seen under these bags, known as “black circles under the eyes.” These features make you look older and more tired than you really feel. You should bear in mind that Blepharoplasty itself does not correct the pigmentation of the dark circles under your eyes. The purpose of this surgery is to remove the palpebral bags that make your eyes look puffy as well as excess skin from the upper eyelids. However, in some cases, round circles under the eyes may also be treated with special whitening moisturizers or by filling the creases with biopolymer injectable fillers.

Eyelid Surgery, Blephraoplasty or Eyelid Rejuvenation is a usual procedure that lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. It consists in the removal of excess skin from the upper eyelid and fat from the lower eyelid (sometimes these pockets of excess fat are relocated) and in the refill of creases in the “dark circles under the eyes” if necessary. In some cases, these dark circles can be treated with whitening moisturizers to enhance their appearance.

Depending on the case, this surgery will be performed on the upper eyelids, on the lower eyelids or both, if necessary. The procedure performed on all four eyelids is known as Complete Blepharoplasty and can also be done in conjunction with other facial surgical procedures, such as Facelift, Mini Facelift, etc.
