Age-Defying Benefits of Lower Blepharoplasty
As we age, our facial tissues lose volume and support. This can be particularly problematic around the eyes, with the appearance of under eye bags, skin wrinkling, and fat sagging that can result in a tired appearance that does not reflect how the person actually feels. Sometimes, this can be seen in younger patients who are genetically predisposed to this type of anatomy and do not have other signs of significant facial aging.
A lower lid lift, also known as a lower blepharoplasty, can address these issues and restore a natural and refreshed appearance. Lower blepharoplasty has many benefits, including:

Good Candidates for Lower Lid Lift
Good candidates for a lower blepharoplasty procedure are men or women who are bothered by the appearance of their lower eyelids. They may exhibit concerns such as under-eye hollows, dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines and wrinkles around the lower eyelids. Additionally, the ideal candidate has:
- Good Overall Health: Candidates should be in good overall health without serious eye conditions, bleeding disorders, or medical issues that could impair healing.
- No Current Smoking: Smoking can affect the healing process, so non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking at least 6 to 8 weeks before and after surgery.
- Realistic Expectations: Individuals who have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery and are seeking improvement rather than perfection.
- Ready for Surgery: Candidates should have a positive outlook and specific goals for improving the appearance of their eyelids. People do best when they are prepared for the process of surgery and postoperative recovery.
Consulting with a qualified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Yamasaki can help determine if you are an ideal candidate for an eyelid lift based on your specific concerns and health profile.
The Lower Blepharoplasty Consultation
The first step towards rejuvenating your appearance with a lower eyelid lift is a consultation with Dr. Alisa Yamasaki. During this appointment, Dr. Yamasaki will conduct a thorough examination of your facial anatomy, focusing on the eye and surrounding areas. She will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and explain the procedure in detail. Dr. Yamasaki will then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and cosmetic desires to determine if a lower blepharoplasty is a good option for you.
The Lower Lid Lift Procedure
By employing these advanced techniques, Dr. Yamasaki can effectively address the signs of aging around the eyes, providing patients with a refreshed, youthful look that enhances their natural beauty.
Additional procedures such as laser skin resurfacing can be performed along with lower blepharoplasty. Laser skin resurfacing treatment can provide additional skin tightening to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines. The need for laser skin resurfacing depends on the patient’s specific anatomy and cosmetic concerns.
Recovering from Lower Blepharoplasty
Initial recovery after lower blepharoplasty typically takes one to two weeks, during which swelling and bruising subside. Patients are advised to follow their surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, including applying cold compresses, keeping the head elevated, avoiding blood thinning medications (must be cleared by your prescriber), and avoiding strenuous activities.
A few guidelines to optimize recovery include:
- Use ice packs on the treated area
- Drink plenty of water
- Limit dietary sodium and alcohol intake
- Use prescribed ointments and over-the-counter artificial tear drops
- Treat any environmental allergies
Final results from lower blepharoplasty are expected to settle in several weeks to months after surgery.
