Lower Blepharoplasty – Say Goodbye to Tired, Puffy Eyes

Are you tired of looking… well, tired? The delicate skin beneath your eyes is often the first place to show signs of aging. Dark circles, puffiness, and sagging skin can make you look older or more fatigued than you feel. The good news? Lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid surgery, can rejuvenate your appearance and help you feel more confident. Dr. Chad Wu, a skilled plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Toronto Downtown, specializes in this procedure and is here to help you achieve refreshed, natural-looking results.

What Is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids by removing or repositioning excess fat, tightening loose skin, and smoothing fine lines. It’s ideal for those dealing with:

• Puffy under-eye bags that won’t go away, no matter how much sleep you get.
• Loose, crepey skin that gives a tired, aged appearance.
• Deep tear troughs that create shadows and dark circles.

Lower blepharoplasty aims to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look without altering your natural facial expressions.

How the Procedure Works

During the consultation, Dr. Chad Wu will assess your eye area, skin quality, and overall facial structure to customize the surgery. The procedure itself is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preference. Dr. Wu makes tiny incisions along the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (a technique called transconjunctival blepharoplasty) to access and remove or reposition fat deposits. If necessary, excess skin is trimmed away, creating a tighter, smoother appearance. The surgery typically takes one to two hours, and patients can return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from lower blepharoplasty is generally quick, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within one to two weeks. Many patients return to routines within this timeframe, feeling more confident and refreshed. Dr. Wu provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.
