What is a Lower Blepharoplasty?
Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses undereye bags, excess skin, and hollowness under the eyes. It can remove or reposition the fat pads that cause puffiness, tighten loose skin, and smooth the transition from the lower lid to the cheek.
Surgery takes 1 to 2 hours, typically under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activities in 10 to 14 days. Bruising and swelling resolve by 2 to 3 weeks, and final results are visible at 3 to 6 months.
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty (incision inside the lower lid) leaves no external scar and is preferred for patients with good skin elasticity. Traditional external-incision lower bleph is used when significant skin removal is needed.
How much does a Lower Blepharoplasty cost?
Lower blepharoplasty nationally typically starts at $3,000, with most procedures ranging from $3,000 to $9,000 all-in.
