Youthful Eyes Restored
Eye-Rejuvenating Benefits of Lower Blepharoplasty
What is Lower Blepharoplasty?
Lower blepharoplasty, which is also referred to as lower eyelid surgery, is a surgical process meant to make the lower eyelid area look more youthful. This procedure primarily involves removing or redistributing accumulated fat and tightening sagging skin in the lower eyelid area. Lower blepharoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of droopy eyelids and puffy under-eye bags, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can also correct a tear trough deformity, a condition where a deep groove forms between the lower eyelid and the cheek, often leading to a tired appearance. In some cases, lower blepharoplasty may involve a lid cheek junction procedure, which smooths the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek for a more natural look.
The surgical procedure may also include fat and skin excision to remove excess eyelid skin and fat pads, particularly the orbital fat pads, which can contribute to the appearance of eye bags.
Who is a Good Candidate for Lower Blepharoplasty?
Ideal candidates for lower blepharoplasty in New Jersey are generally healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations about the outcome. They may have noticed signs of aging around the eye area, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, or excess fat.
It’s important to note that this procedure may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions affecting the eyes or overall health. Meeting with Dr. Wong for a complete consultation will help determine if you are eligible for this surgery.
