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.

Treatment Process

Lower blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia and usually takes 1–2 hours. It includes:

Your under-eye structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals are carefully assessed to design a personalised treatment plan.

Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure.

Excess fat causing under-eye bags is either removed or repositioned to create a smoother contour.

If required, excess skin is gently removed or tightened to improve under-eye smoothness.

Incisions are placed inside the lower eyelid or just beneath the lash line to minimise visible scarring.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Upper blepharoplasty treats droopy upper eyelids, while lower blepharoplasty focuses on under-eye bags and puffiness.

No, incisions are usually hidden inside the lower eyelid or just below the lash line.

Results are long-lasting, although natural ageing continues.

Initial improvement appears after swelling reduces, with final results developing over several weeks.

Our surgeons specialise in precise under-eye rejuvenation techniques that reduce puffiness and restore a smooth, refreshed, and natural appearance.
