I saw this patient last week 5 years after operating on her lower eyelids – lower blepharoplasty. In the top photograph which was taken before the surgery, the concerns that she had regarding the appearance of the lower eyelids are apparent. The lower eyelids are puffy and swollen which gives a tired appearance. This was constant and not related to allergies or any other reversible process. Simply put, the puffy appearance is caused by fat pushing out from around the eye.
A lower blepharoplasty is a surgery that is designed to remove or reposition this fat which improves and rejuvenates the contour of the lower eyelid. Excess skin, if present, can be dealt with at the same time. There is no non-surgical way to treat this as effectively, naturally and permanently as the lower blepharoplasty.
The bottom photograph was taken during her visit last week. After 5 years the lower lid remains tight and smooth. The result from the lower blepharoplasty (during which skin and fat was removed) has held up extremely well!
