Lower eyelid surgery can make the undereye smoother, creating a more youthful look. but with time and age the collagen and elastin, which help skin look plump and healthy, begin to decline. This situation is reflected in the eye area first. It results in the concentration of lipids in the lower eyelids as fibres with decreased elasticity of the skin to weaken the supportive structures surrounding the eyes. When this process occurs, the remaining pockets of fat usually begin to move forward and settle under the eyelids, resulting in “drooping” and tired eyes.

Lower eyelid surgery ( known as lower eyelid plastic surgery) is a cosmetic procedure that helps correct loose skin, excess fat, and wrinkles in the lower eye area. In lower lid blepharoplasty, instead of removing eyelid fat, the excess fat is transferred to the eye cavity to reduce puffiness in the skin (sebum bump) and fill the cavity of the eyelid. This technique smooths out the asymmetry in the eye contour and gives freshness to the appearance of the eye. Sagging skin, wrinkles, puffiness, and under-eye bags that go down the lower eyelids can reduce the attractiveness of your eyes and create an unwanted appearance. Lower eyelid surgeries can be performed alone or in combination with other surgeries such as facelifts and will look younger and younger.
