Lower Blepharoplasty

This is a procedure that corrects two major features responsible for the appearance of aged lower lids; lax or wrinkled lower eyelid skin and bulging or puffy bags.

Correct preoperative evaluation is required to determine the degree to which these features are present and to determine the optimal procedure to correct the problem.

A recent concept in rejuvenation seeks to address the region as a whole - the mid-face. This includes the lower eyelid, the depression (tear trough deformity) below the lower eyelid and the drooping of the cheek fat pad and nasolabial fold. See also mid-face rejuvenation.
