Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty addresses orbital fat herniation and tear-trough hollowing, usually with fat repositioning rather than removal. It is frequently combined with a canthopexy to support the lid.

• Under-eye fat bags
• Tear-trough hollow
• Lid–cheek junction smoothness
• Lower lid skin laxity

• General physical health suitable for the anaesthetic required
• Realistic, clearly articulated aesthetic or functional goals
• Stable anatomy appropriate for the technique proposed
• Non-smoking or willingness to stop for the surgeon's required window

1. 01Transconjunctival (no external scar) or subciliary incision
2. 02Fat repositioning over the orbital rim
3. 03Canthal support where indicated

1. Day 1

   Immediate post-operative period. Swelling begins, dressings or splints may be in place, supervised rest.

2. Week 1

   Peak swelling and bruising. Limited activity, soft diet where relevant, first follow-up visit.

3. Week 2

   Bruising fades. Many people feel socially presentable, light activity resumes.

4. Week 4

   Most acute swelling resolves. Gradual return to exercise as cleared by the surgeon.

5. Month 3

   Contours become clearer. Residual swelling continues to settle.

6. Month 6

   Result is largely representative of the final outcome.

7. Month 12+

   Final refinement, scar maturation, and revision assessment if needed.
