What is lower blepharoplasty?

Rejuvenate your eyes with lower blepharoplasty in Flemington at the Center For Eye and Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Ramesh specializes in treating under-eye bags, puffiness, dark circles, and deep tear troughs, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure helps correct aging signs around your lower eyelids, leaving you with natural, smooth results.

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that targets the lower eyelids to correct common aging signs such as puffiness, dark circles, and under-eye bags. As fat deposits accumulate with age, they can cause the lower eyelids to sag and create a tired appearance. Dr. Ramesh removes excess fat and tightens the skin to restore a more youthful, refreshed look. This procedure can also address deep tear troughs and improve the overall contour of the lower eyelids, enhancing your facial expression and rejuvenating your appearance.

What are the benefits of lower blepharoplasty?

The following are the primary benefits of lower blepharoplasty:

  • Reduces under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Improves the appearance of dark circles
  • Tightens sagging skin around the lower eyelids
  • Restores youthful contour to the lower eye area
  • Enhances overall facial expression and appearance
  • Customizable treatment to suit individual needs
  • Minimizes visible scarring with discreet incisions
  • Quick recovery with minimal downtime
  • Long-lasting results, providing a refreshed look for years

What are the techniques used for lower blepharoplasty?

Transconjunctival approach

The transconjunctival approach is the preferred technique for lower blepharoplasty. In this method, Dr. Ramesh makes an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, avoiding any visible scarring. This approach allows direct access to the fat pads in the lower eyelid, where excess fat can be removed, repositioned, or even transferred to fill hollow tear troughs. The transconjunctival technique involves minimal risk of eyelid malposition.

Transcutaneous approach

The transcutaneous approach involves an incision along the lower eyelid’s natural crease or just below the lashes. Although it can effectively address significant skin laxity, it carries a higher risk of complications such as eyelid retraction. Dr. Ramesh typically avoids this approach unless necessary, as it exposes the patient to more risks and potential visible scarring. The transcutaneous method is generally reserved for patients with extensive sagging skin.

I visited Dr Ramesh due to complications from a blepheroplasty performed by another surgeon. He was so nice, compassionate, gentle, and knowledgeable. He pinpointed what the issue was – which was something very obscure – and treated appropriately. I highly recommend him.

How is lower blepharoplasty performed?

Dr. Ramesh begins your lower blepharoplasty by marking the treatment areas and administering a local anesthetic to numb the region. For the transconjunctival approach, he makes an incision inside the lower eyelid to access and remove excess fat. He may reposition the fat or use grafts to address hollowness at the tear troughs.

If needed, Dr. Ramesh tightens the skin using a “skin pinch” technique or performs resurfacing with a laser or chemical peel. Finally, the incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal visible scarring and a natural look.

What is recovery like for lower blepharoplasty?

After lower blepharoplasty, you can expect some swelling and bruising around your eyes, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and pain can be managed with prescribed medication. You should avoid strenuous activities for the first week, but light activities can be resumed after 7-10 days. Dr. Ramesh will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including cold compresses and keeping your head elevated to reduce swelling. Full recovery usually takes 2-3 weeks, and the results become fully visible within 6 weeks.

What are my lower blepharoplasty aftercare guidelines?

  • Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Take prescribed medications to manage pain and support healing.
  • Protect your eyes from sunlight by wearing sunglasses outdoors.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least one week.
  • Keep your head elevated while sleeping to minimize swelling.
  • Clean incisions gently and follow Dr. Ramesh’s instructions for hygiene.
  • Refrain from rubbing or touching your eyes to prevent irritation.
  • Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
  • Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet to promote recovery.
  • Avoid alcohol and tobacco, as they can slow the healing process.
