What is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Concerned about appearing older or more tired than your actual age? These concerns can negatively impact your confidence and self-esteem. We understand the importance of looking and feeling refreshed and vibrant. Aging can bring about changes like bags and puffiness under the eyes, making you appear more tired than you are. A lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids to rejuvenate your eye area and give you a more youthful and revitalized look. Depending on your desired outcome, upper blepharoplasty may be combined with lower lid blepharoplasty for a harmonious and balanced appearance.
