The lower blepharoplasty is one of the most effective procedures to rejuvenate the face in the appropriate candidate. Patients who are great candidates tend to have localized fat accumulation in the lower lids leading to puffiness and lower eyelid bags. Patients often state that they have a tired appearance to the face despite getting a great night of sleep.

The transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty can improve this puffiness by making an incision on the inside of the eyelid and removing the orbital fat from the inside of the eyelid.

This is an effective procedure to not only improve the appearance of the face but to also have a positive effect on the “psyche” of the patient. Imagine waking up after a good night of sleep and still “appearing” tired. This can have an impact on the day’s outlook.

After a lower blepharoplasty these patients are so excited because now they look congruent to how they feel. The perspective of the day is now much improved. Often the perspective of a person’s day can proceed in a positive direction as how she looks and feels.
