Lower eyelids develop puffiness towards the end of thirties and then become more troublesome with the descent of the midface after 40 years of age. The tear trough formed is the stigma of middle age! Lower eyelid surgery should be performed by skilled surgeons. At times the physician may suggest a midface lift combined with lower lid blepharoplasty. If there is only fat bulging with no skin excess, incision (the cut) can be made from inside the lower lid leaving no scars. If there is skin excess in the lower lid and it needs to be removed the incision is done just below the lash line leaving a very faint scar.

Operation Highlights:

• 90-minute surgery
• Performed under either local or general anesthesia
• 1 day hospital stay is recommended
• Stitches are removed on the 4th day
• 3 to 5 day stay in the country is adequate
• There will be slight edema and some bruising for 2 weeks
• The results will settle in 6 weeks
