What is a lower blepharoplasty?
Lower eyelid surgery is also known as a lower blepharoplasty, which is done primarily for excess bags and puffiness underneath the lower lids. The invisible incision for the lower eyelid surgery is placed on the inside of the lower lid, which is called the conjunctiva of the inside of the eyelid. When needed, if there is extra skin on the lower lids, a small incision is placed at the lash line. This incision is directly below the eyelashes and a small pinch of skin, approximately 2 to 3 mm, is taken. The incision is closed with Histocryl tissue glue. There are no stitches in the lower lids.
