Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Tired, puffy under-eyes can make you look older or fatigued, even when you're feeling your best.

Over time, the under-eye area displays some of the earliest signs of aging, showing up as puffy under eye bags, dark circles, hollowness, or excess skin. In some cases these issues appear earlier than expected due to genetics. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure specifically designed to address these concerns.

Drawing on more than 15 years of experience performing facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Paul Denton has developed a unique approach called EyeRefine-3D™, which focuses on addressing the three-dimensional contours of the lower eyelid.

Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
How is our EyeRefine-3D™ Blepharoplasty unique?

Traditional lower eyelid surgery involves the removal of fat to improve the appearance of under-eye bags. However, this can sometimes result in a hollow appearance over time. The EyeRefine-3D™ Blepharoplasty is a comprehensive approach to the under-eye area. This involves rebalancing all aspects that contribute to the aged appearance, including preserving and repositioning fat from the under-eye fat pads into the hollow under-eye area, known as the tear trough. This technique, called fat transposition, helps maintain a natural fullness. The procedure also incorporates laser tightening and skin rejuvenation, followed by restoring the youthful angle of the eyelid. The result is a refreshed under-eye area that seamlessly blends with the contours of your cheeks.

How long is the recovery after Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?

Variable amounts of bruising and swelling are present for 2-3 weeks after the procedure, with the improvements in appearance continuing for up to six months after surgery. For many individuals no skin incisions are required.

What type of anesthesia is required for Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?

Depending on the client's preference, the procedure can be performed under sedation or general anesthesia.

What is the difference between Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty and EyeRefine-3D™?

While lower eyelid blepharoplasty focuses primarily on fat removal, EyeRefine-3D™ is a more comprehensive approach that includes fat transposition, laser tightening, skin rejuvenation, and restoration of the youthful eyelid angle.

What procedures can be combined with Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can be combined with various other facial cosmetic surgeries, including upper eyelid blepharoplasty, brow lifting, fat grafting, and facelifting to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Is EyeRefine-3D™ suitable for addressing undereye dark circles?

When dark circles under the eyes are due to volume loss or excess skin, EyeRefine-3D™ provides remarkable improvements. However under-eye dark circles can also be due to excess pigment or prominent vessels under the eyes, which may require other treatments
