WHAT IS BLEPHAROPLASTY – LOWER (DAY CASE)?

Lower blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the under-eye area by reducing bags, puffiness, excess skin, and fat deposits. The treatment helps create a smoother, more rested, and youthful eye contour while maintaining natural facial expression. It is commonly performed as a day case procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day after treatment and recovery monitoring. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use precise lower eyelid techniques to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal visible scarring.
