What Is Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Lower eyelid surgery, also called lower blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can correct a range of concerns with the lower eyelids. It is a long-lasting solution for dark circles and under-eye bags. In short, this procedure can reduce some key signs of aging. By delivering a refreshed appearance, lower eyelid surgery in Southlake can bring out a new you.
What Does Lower Blepharoplasty Do?
Aging, stress, and genetics can all lead to physical changes that result in a tired and aged appearance. Many patients find this frustrating because their appearance then does not match how they feel inside. Age is just a number, but its effects can cause changes at odds with your inner self. For the lower eyelid area, this often takes the form of dark circles, bags, or drooping eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery restores your lower eye area by replenishing lost volume and tightening the skin. When performed by an expert, the results can leave you looking younger, more alert, and vibrant.

Lower eyelid surgery is generally performed as a cosmetic procedure, so insurance may not cover it. However, some patients may have insurance cover upper eyelid surgery when used to correct functional problems, such as severe sagging.
For safety and success, lower eyelid surgery should only be performed by a trained specialist. That is, by an oculoplastic surgeon like Dr. Kalyam. Her unique expertise focuses on the structures of the eyes and face, which is vital for achieving your target goals. Other general plastic surgeons might offer this surgery, but they do not have the specialized training that will enhance both safety and results.
Whenever possible, Dr. Kalyam uses hidden incision techniques. For lower eyelid surgery, this can often be done inside the eyelid, which means there will be no visible scar. For more extreme situations, an incision may be outside the eyelid, but hidden in the body’s natural folds, resulting in almost zero visibility. In addition, Dr. Kalyam only every uses incisions that are as small as possible, promoting healing and results at the same time.
Lower eyelid surgery can be done with only minimal anesthesia while still being comfortable. Most patients report that only local anesthetic is enough, while some prefer mild sedation. In short, the milder the sedation, the faster your recovery will be, and less strain is put on your body. During your consultation with Dr. Kalyam, she can help you decide on the best option for your procedure.
The duration of your procedure can vary, but most lower eyelid procedures take between 1-2 hours. In same cases, they can be even shorter. And combined procedures may take longer, such as combining lower and upper eyelid surgery. Before your procedure, Dr. Kalyam will provide you a complete outline of the expected timeframe for your surgery.
