Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct puffiness, sagging skin, and under-eye bags that contribute to a tired or aged appearance. As we age, the delicate skin under the eyes can begin to droop and fat pads may become more prominent, making the area look swollen or shadowed. Lower blepharoplasty targets these concerns by removing or repositioning fat, tightening muscle, and trimming excess skin as needed. This results in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful lower eyelid contour. At Vita Skin MD, Dr. Steele’s expert training and skillset preserves natural facial harmony while restoring a rested, alert look. Dr. Steele’s technique and surgical approach is stealth and scarless with no visible signs of surgical intervention after the healing process is complete.
This cosmetic procedure reshapes the under-eye area by addressing puffiness, excess fat, and loose skin, making it ideal for individuals with sagging or bulging that hasn’t responded to skincare or non-invasive treatments. Dr. Steele performs the surgery using a transconjunctival approach, accessing the lower eyelid from the inside to avoid visible scarring and preserve a natural appearance. By carefully removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin, he enhances the natural contours of the lower eyelids while maintaining each patient’s unique expression. The result is a smoother under-eye area and a brighter, more refreshed look that brings balance and youthfulness to the entire face.
During your lower blepharoplasty at Vita Skin, you’ll be placed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your treatment plan. An incision is made from the inside of the eyelid which allows for no visible scarring and easier access to ocular fat pad rearrangement. Through this incision, the surgeon will remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten underlying muscles, and remove any excess skin. The procedure typically takes one to two hours. After surgery, you'll experience some swelling and bruising, but most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days. Final results continue to improve as healing progresses.
Addressing puffiness and sagging below the eyes can dramatically improve facial harmony and expression. This rejuvenating approach helps patients look more rested, alert, and confident.
