What is LOWER EYELID REJUVENATION?
LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
The eyes are often referred to as the windows to the soul. They are the first thing that people notice about each other and also are one of the most powerful means of non-verbal communication. When there is extra skin or puffiness of the eyes, the face takes on a fatigued appearance that can make the individual appear excessively aged and tired. The remedy for this condition is blepharoplasty.
Lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid lift, is a commonly performed procedure that involves removing excess skin and excess tissue from the lower eyelids. This leads to a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate For LOWER EYELID REJUVENATION?
A good candidate for blepharoplasty treatment would be someone who is generally healthy and has realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. They should be bothered by the appearance of droopy or puffy eyelids and understand that blepharoplasty can help to address these concerns, but will not necessarily create a completely new look. Age is not necessarily a factor, as both younger and older individuals can benefit from this procedure. However, individuals who have certain medical conditions or take medications that could affect healing may not be good candidates for blepharoplasty. It is important for candidates to discuss their medical history and any medications they are taking with their surgeon prior to the procedure to determine if they are a good candidate for blepharoplasty.
LOWER EYELID REJUVENATION Procedure
The procedure may be done with sedation and takes less than an hour to complete. The incisions are hidden inside the eyelid and, if needed, just under the eyelashes. Using the most advanced techniques that utilizes the most current understanding of lower blepharoplasty, Dr. Ward uses the excess tissue that is responsible for the lower lid bags and uses it to augment the cheeks and under eye regions to achieve a natural, non-surgical appearance. The extra skin is removed and the fat compartments that contribute to the aged and tired appearance are addressed. The methods used for a particular individual depends on that individual’s needs.
Recovery Process
The recovery is typically about a week, although bruising and swelling can persist for a longer period of time. Most patients will resume work within about 6-10 days and can resume normal activities within 1-2 week

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with lower eyelid rejuvenation. Some potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in vision. However, these risks are generally rare, and most patients experience a safe and successful outcome.
Recovery time for lower eyelid rejuvenation can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual's healing process.
