What Is a Lower Eyelid Lift?

A lower eyelid lift, commonly performed as lower blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that rejuvenates the lower eyelids by correcting age-related changes beneath the eyes.

Depending on your needs, the procedure may include:

• Removal of excess lower eyelid skin
• Tightening loose lower eyelid tissues
• Fat repositioning
• Selective fat removal
• Canthopexy or canthoplasty
• Under-eye fat grafting
• Skin tightening

The goal is to restore a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance while preserving the natural shape of the eyes.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A lower eyelid lift may be recommended for patients who have:

• Under-eye bags
• Loose or sagging lower eyelid skin
• Wrinkles beneath the eyes
• Hollow tear troughs
• Puffy lower eyelids
• Lower eyelid laxity
• Tired or aged-looking eyes
• Age-related facial changes around the eyes

Every treatment plan is customized based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of a Lower Eyelid Lift

Reduce Under-Eye Bags

Removing or repositioning protruding fat creates smoother lower eyelid contours.

Tighten Loose Skin

Excess skin is carefully removed to create firmer, younger-looking lower eyelids.

Refresh Tired-Looking Eyes

The eyes appear brighter, healthier, and naturally rejuvenated.

Improve Facial Harmony

Smoother transitions between the lower eyelids and cheeks create a balanced, youthful facial appearance.

Long-Lasting Results

A lower eyelid lift provides durable improvement that continues to look natural for many years.

Personalized Surgical Planning

Every patient's lower eyelids age differently.

Your surgeon carefully evaluates:

• Skin laxity
• Under-eye bags
• Lower eyelid support
• Tear trough depth
• Facial volume
• Skin thickness
• Facial symmetry
• Previous eyelid surgery

This comprehensive evaluation allows the surgeon to recommend the most appropriate combination of procedures for optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Treatment Options During a Lower Eyelid Lift

Lower Blepharoplasty

Removes excess skin and improves lower eyelid contours while preserving a natural appearance.

Fat Repositioning

Existing under-eye fat is redistributed to fill hollow tear troughs rather than simply removing it.

Selective Fat Removal

When excessive orbital fat causes significant eye bags, a conservative amount may be removed while maintaining natural volume.

Canthopexy or Canthoplasty

Patients with eyelid laxity may benefit from additional support procedures that strengthen and stabilize the lower eyelid.

Under-Eye Fat Grafting

Fat grafting may be combined with surgery to restore youthful facial volume and improve hollow under-eye areas.

Procedure Overview

Lower eyelid lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, although general anesthesia may be recommended when combined with additional facial procedures.

Depending on your treatment plan, the procedure may include:

• Comprehensive eyelid evaluation
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Fat repositioning or selective fat removal
• Canthopexy or lateral canthoplasty
• Under-eye fat grafting when appropriate
• Careful symmetry assessment throughout surgery

Most procedures take approximately 1–2 hours depending on the complexity of treatment.
