The Under-Eye Refresh That Works

What is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, smooths the transition from the eyelid to the cheek. The procedure removes or repositions excess orbital fat, tightens sagging skin, and recontours the connective tissue under the lower eyelids. Often combined with skin resurfacing or a midface lift, it's designed to reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine wrinkles, achieving a well-rested appearance.

Small Incision, Big Impact

What is the Lower Blepharoplasty procedure like?

Performed in our accredited surgical center, the surgery begins with local anesthesia, often with mild sedation. Dr. Narasimhan makes a hidden incision just below the lashes or a transconjunctival incision inside the eyelid. He then removes or redistributes excess fat, tightens loose tissue, and trims sagging skin as needed. Sutures are fine and discreet. The entire process takes 1–2 hours, and you’ll go home the same day with cold compresses and aftercare guidance

Realistic Expectations for Healing

Lower Blepharoplasty Recovery

You will receive detailed instructions on using cold compresses, applying ointment, and managing prescribed eye drops.

Days 1–3: Swelling and bruising peak; cold compresses help reduce inflammation.

Days 4–7: Most swelling subsides; light activity possible, avoid strenuous exercises and contact lens use.

Weeks 2–4: Residual swelling and tenderness improve; makeup may be used. Protect treated areas from sun exposure.

Weeks 4–8: Incision lines mature and fade; final contour continues settling.

A Subtle Change With Big Benefits

Lower Blepharoplasty Results

Results begin to show after the bruising and puffiness have diminished, usually within 1 to 2 weeks. Final results, such as smoother lower eyelid contours and reduced under-eye bags, typically take 3 to 6 months to settle. With a healthy lifestyle and skincare, results often last 7 years or more.
