Complex Lower Blepharoplasty in Los Angeles, CA

Understanding Lower Blepharoplasty

With age, the lower eyelid region experiences significant structural changes. The soft tissue structure called the eyelid septum begins to weaken, causing fat to protrude and skin to sag. This process can result in eye bags, puffiness, and accumulated lines, particularly affecting Asian patients.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Fat Transposition Method

Modern lower blepharoplasty techniques focus on fat repositioning rather than simple removal. By transposing fat to depressed areas, surgeons can enhance facial volume and prevent a malnourished appearance. This approach offers several key benefits:

• Preserves natural facial structure
• Utilizes stem cells for a youthful glow
• Creates smooth vertical contours

Muscle and Fascial Techniques

Advanced procedures include muscle release, cheek lift, and fascial suspension. These techniques help restore the lower eyelid's youthful appearance without altering the eye's natural anatomy.

Addressing Dark Circles

Dark circles can result from multiple factors, including blood flow blockage and melanin production. Modern blepharoplasty techniques can significantly improve discoloration by addressing underlying structural issues.

Procedure Details

Lower blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia, lasting approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Patients can expect critical swelling to subside within one week, with complete resolution occurring over 8-12 weeks.
