If you’re frustrated by excess skin or fullness beneath your eyes, a lower eyelid lift may help restore a smoother look.

Reduce Under-Eye Bags and Puffiness
A lower eyelid lift, also known as lower blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that helps improve the appearance of the area beneath the eyes. Over time, excess skin, weakened muscles, and shifting fat can create under-eye bags, puffiness, and a tired or aged appearance. During lower blepharoplasty, excess tissue may be removed or repositioned to create a smoother, more refreshed contour. A lower eyelid lift can help restore balance to your facial features while maintaining natural-looking results that reflect your unique appearance.
Best Candidates for a Lower Eyelid Lift
The best way to determine whether a lower eyelid lift is right for you is through a detailed consultation. During your visit, we will evaluate your concerns, anatomy, skin quality, and goals to recommend a personalized treatment plan that aligns with the results you hope to achieve. You may be a good candidate if you are bothered by:
- Under-eye bags
- Puffiness beneath the eyes
- Excess lower eyelid skin
- Sagging or loose skin under the eyes
- Fat deposits creating a swollen appearance
- Hollow or uneven under-eye contours
- A tired or aged-looking appearance
- Wrinkling beneath the lower eyelids

Your Complete Lower Eyelid Lift Experience
1. Consultation
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss what you would like to improve and learn whether a lower eyelid lift is the right option for your specific goals. Your surgeon will evaluate the skin, muscle, and fat beneath your eyes, review your medical history, and answer your questions. Together, you will discuss potential treatment approaches, expected outcomes, recovery considerations, and whether any complementary procedures may help you achieve a balanced result.
2. Surgery
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Campbell or Dr. Thayer will carefully mark the treatment area and administer anesthesia. Depending on your needs, an incision may be placed just below the lower lash line or inside the eyelid. Through this incision, excess fat may be removed or repositioned, loose skin may be trimmed, and underlying tissues may be refined to create a smoother contour. Once the desired improvements are achieved, the incisions are closed to support natural-looking results and minimal visible scarring.
3. Recovery
After a lower eyelid lift, you can expect temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort around the eyes. Some patients also experience temporary dryness, tearing, or sensitivity to light during the healing period. Most bruising and swelling improve significantly within 10 to 14 days, allowing many patients to return to work and social activities. While you may notice improvements sooner, residual swelling can take weeks to resolve. Following your post-operative instructions can help support a smooth recovery.
