Considering Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery, also known as lower blepharoplasty, can rejuvenate your appearance by removing excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids. Here are five crucial aspects to know before your procedure.

1. Will I Need Future Touch-Ups?

Lower eyelid surgery provides long-lasting results, but the natural aging process will continue. While the results are typically long-lasting, you may need touch-up procedures in the future to maintain your desired look.

2. What Will My Immediate Results Look Like?

After surgery, expect some swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and will subside over time. As the swelling decreases, your refreshed, more youthful appearance will become more apparent, revealing your final results.

3. How Will Surgery Affect My Daily Routine?

Unlike upper blepharoplasty, lower eyelid surgery requires a recovery period. Plan to take at least one week off work and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Light activities like walking are encouraged to promote healing. Following your plastic surgeon's guidelines will ensure a smooth recovery.

4. Is Post-Surgery Pain Normal?

Experiencing some pain and discomfort after lower eyelid surgery is normal. You might feel soreness and tightness in the treated areas. Your surgeon will provide pain management options to help alleviate discomfort. Applying cold compresses as recommended will also help reduce swelling and enhance your results.

5. What Lifestyle Changes Should I Expect Post-Surgery?

Post-surgery, you may need to make temporary lifestyle adjustments. Avoid activities that can strain your eyes, such as reading or screen time, for the first few days. Wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from sun exposure is also important. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular sleep, can enhance and prolong the results of your lower eyelid surgery.
