Eyebag surgery / lower blepharoplasty
What is eyebag (lower blepharoplasty) surgery?
Eyebag surgery, commonly known as lower blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the lower eyelid area by removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and, in some cases, muscle.
The procedure is primarily performed to reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, puffiness, and sagging skin that can occur due to ageing, genetic factors, or lifestyle choices.
It is typically sought by individuals looking to improve the appearance of their lower eyelids, specifically those who have noticeable bags, dark circles, or drooping skin.
Surgical Eyelid Surgery
Lower blepharoplasty involves your surgeon removing excess fat and skin. skin and fat below the eye. The procedure can be performed using different techniques:
- Transconjunctival Approach:
An incision is made on the inside of the eyelid, which helps to remove or reposition fat without leaving an external scar. This is often preferred for younger patients with primarily fat bulging. - Transcutaneous Approach:
An incision is made just below the lower lash line, allowing for skin removal as well as fat repositioning or removal. This approach is more suitable for older patients with excess skin.
The exact plan will be discussed in full at your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
The incisions are surprisingly small and are closed using very fine stitches.
The stitches are removed 5-7 days later. You will have some bruising and swelling for 5-10 days afterwards but you will be ok to carry on normal daily activities after 3-4 days.
For those are not quite ready for eyelid surgery non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX® or dermal fillers can be helpful in refreshing the eye area but do not tackle excess skin.
Is lower blepharoplasty right for me?
The first step is to have a pre-treatment consultation where the surgeons will assess your suitability and discuss your expectations.
If you’d like to go ahead, we can arrange another appointment for your lower blepharoplasty procedure.
We use a local anaesthetic rather than general anaesthetic, which means you are awake throughout yet you won’t feel a thing. This avoids the unpleasant side effects associated with general anaesthetic and means you can go straight home after about an hour and a half.
At Cosmedics we have handpicked the very best plastic surgeons who are experts in treating the delicate eye area, so you’re in safe hands.

FAQ's
Lower Blepharoplasty FAQ: Questions & Answers
As with any surgical procedure, lower blepharoplasty comes with potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in eyelid sensation. It’s crucial for patients to discuss these risks with their surgeon and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Deciding whether to undergo lower blepharoplasty, upper blepharoplasty, or both ultimately depends on your individual concerns, goals, and the recommendations of a qualified plastic surgeon.
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Typically addresses excess skin, fat, or muscle in the upper eyelids, which can create a tired appearance or affect vision.
- Lower Blepharoplasty: Focuses on the lower eyelids, reducing puffiness, bags, and wrinkles.
- Combined Procedure: Some individuals benefit from having both procedures done simultaneously to achieve a more balanced look.
A consultation with an experienced surgeon who specialises in the eye area can provide insights tailored to your situation. They can assess your eyelids and eyebags as well as your facial anatomy, and discuss potential results.
Patients often report improved facial harmony and a more youthful appearance following the procedure.
Recovery time can vary, but many patients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are common, and patients are often advised to use cold compresses and follow specific post-operative care instructions to facilitate healing.
The results of lower blepharoplasty are permanent in that excess fat and skin are removed. However, the ageing process will continue. Some patients repeat the procedure after 10-20 years, while others complement it with additional non-surgical treatments. For many, a one-off surgery is enough to resolve their concerns for good.
