Can bags under the eyes be removed?
A lower eyelid blepharoplasty designed to reduce the bags under the eyes is accomplished by accessing, debulking, and repositioning the lower eyelid fat pads. The fat pads can be accessed internally so as not to create any external scarring. Depending on the patient, the skin under the eyes and laxity of the lower eyelids can be addressed if necessary. During your consult, Dr. Peyman will discuss the best approach for you. The results of a lower eyelid blepharoplasty are typically permanent; the bags won’t come back.
How long does it take to recover from lower eyelid surgery?
This depends on the approach taken to perform the surgery. If done internally, the recovery is quicker than if done externally. External incisions create more bruising, inflammation and swelling. For this reason, an internal approach is preferred for accessing the fat pads under the eyes. By 2 weeks after surgery the bruising and swelling have both greatly improved and most patients feel comfortable going public.
Is lower eyelid surgery worth it?
When done correctly, lower eyelid blepharoplasty can be a game changer. The key is keeping the results natural and minimizing scarring. Patients look and feel less tired, more alert, and more confident.
How painful is lower eyelid surgery?
The procedure is well tolerated in an office setting under local anesthesia with some oral sedation. Most patients who have lower eyelid surgery report little to no discomfort the evening of the day of surgery. If there is any aching the day of surgery, Tylenol is recommended. By the next day, almost no one takes any pain medication.

Does lower eyelid blepharoplasty remove wrinkles?
There are ways to tighten the skin in addition to debulking and repositioning the fat under the eyes. Depending on the patient’s skin tone, laser skin resurfacing may be the most natural way to tighten the skin under eyes. This method minimizes any risk for scarring and keeps the lower eyelid contour the same. Other patients may need a small amount of skin removed. Dr. Peyman will discuss the best approach for you at your consultation.
What is a good age for blepharoplasty?
Patients may notice the bags under their eyes starting in their early 30s. It generally progresses over time becoming more noticeable. Blepharoplasty is safe to perform in much older patients if they are healthy and cleared by their primary care physician. There may be non-surgical approaches that could also be effective in masking the bags using fillers. Dr. Peyman will let you know the pros and cons of each during your consult.
