What Is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty is a specialised surgical treatment designed to significantly improve the aesthetic appearance of the lower eyelids. This surgery addresses under-eye bags, festoons, or malar bags, tightens sagging skin, and smooths the delicate area directly below the eyes.

The procedure uses advanced techniques to carefully remove or reposition fatty tissue and excess skin. This results in a much firmer, more defined contour and a natural-looking appearance of restfulness and freshness.

Why Choose Lower Blepharoplasty?

Hover over each card to explore each concern in detail

Under-Eye Bags

Noticeable under-eye bags that create a puffy, aged appearance and cannot be corrected with creams or skincare alone.

Constantly Tired Eyes

Eyes that look constantly tired even when you feel fully rested, giving a fatigued expression throughout the day.

Loose Lower Lid Skin

Loose or wrinkled lower eyelid skin that creates fine lines and makes the under-eye area appear aged and crepey.

Persistent Puffiness

Puffiness below the eyes that does not improve with skincare, cold compresses, or lifestyle adjustments.

Shadows & Hollows

Shadows or hollows under the eyes caused by fat bulges and an uneven eyelid-to-cheek transition.

Concealer Creasing

Struggling with concealer that settles into fine lines, or a desire for a smoother, refreshed eye appearance.

Who Is Suitable for Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Our expert will assess your under-eye area to confirm your suitability

Heavy, Bulging Bags
People with heavy, bulging bags under their eyes that create a permanently tired or aged look.
Exhausted Appearance
Individuals whose eyes always look exhausted or hollow despite adequate rest and healthy lifestyle.
Sagging Lower Lid
Those with skin sagging or wrinkling in the lower lid area that creates a crepey, textured appearance.
Lost Lid-to-Cheek Transition
Patients who have lost their smooth eyelid-to-cheek transition, creating a visible step or hollow.

Non-Surgical Hasn't Worked
Those with a tired appearance that does not improve with non-surgical treatments or skincare regimens.

How Does Lower Eyelid Surgery Work?

A step-by-step breakdown of what to expect on the day

1
Consultation
Your surgeon assesses the under-eye area, skin quality, and fat pads, then plans the treatment based on your individual goals and anatomy.
2
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthesia may be used depending on the case to keep you entirely comfortable throughout the procedure.
3
Incision
A fine incision is made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid — with no visible external scar in some techniques — to keep any marks invisible.
4
Removal & Reshaping
Fat is removed or repositioned, and loose skin may be tightened to smooth under-eye bags and restore a level, refreshed surface.
5
Closing Incisions
Stitches are placed carefully to support healing and keep any scars discreet, blending naturally with your cheeks for a seamless result.
