Lower Blepharoplasty Dallas, TX | Texas Eye Plastics

Understanding Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to address age-related changes in the lower eyelid region. As individuals age, gravitational forces and physiological processes can cause significant transformations in the periocular structures, often resulting in prominent under-eye bags and aesthetic concerns.

Common Lower Eyelid Concerns

• Protrusion of lower eyelid fat pads
• Redundant lower eyelid skin
• Midface laxity and prominent cheek folds

Surgical Approach

Texas Eye Plastics offers two primary lower blepharoplasty techniques: a subconjunctival approach and an incision just beneath the lower eyelid lashes. The specific method depends on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Techniques

• Transconjunctival blepharoplasty (internal incision)
• External incision below lower eyelid lashes
• Potential simultaneous midface rejuvenation

Preoperative Evaluation

The surgical team conducts a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, assessing eyelid function, ocular surface conditions, and potential dry eye risks. This meticulous approach ensures patient safety and optimal surgical outcomes.

Procedure Details

Lower blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, with procedures lasting approximately one hour. The surgeons at Texas Eye Plastics specialize in minimally invasive techniques that minimize patient downtime and optimize aesthetic results.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect temporary bruising and swelling, which typically subsides within 1-2 weeks. Specialized postoperative care instructions include proper wound maintenance, antibiotic ointment application, and careful monitoring of healing progression.

• Improved aesthetic appearance
