LOWER EYEBAGS & LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY: At a glance
Lower eyebags develop usually from a combination of skin laxity and wrinkles, and also the natural fat we have under the eyelid bulging out. this bulge also creates the crease between the lower eyelid and cheek that really concerns people.
Patients often need a combination of dealing with the skin problem and the fat bulging problem – each patients has different needs and needs a tailored approach to their problem. In cases where the wrinkled skin is the only issue, this can in certain cases be treated without surgery using skin boosters, small amounts of filler, or even simply treatments to the surface of the skin like laser/chemical peels.
The scar is either very well hidden underneath the eyelashes, or a cut is made inside the eyelid so there is no external scar – this is called trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty. Many of us have hereditary bulging of the fat in the lower eyelid which can affect us from young adulthood, and so in such cases avoiding an external scar is worthwhile. Overall the procedure typically transforms the cheek region from a tired, worn appearance, back to the youthful natural contours. The re-positioning of fat can also reduce the dark circles around the eyelid region in some selected patients.
Crucially one of the key aspects of lower eyelid surgery is avoiding bad scarring that pulls the lower eyelid down – this is called lid mal-position or ectropion. Mr Saleh sees many patients with poor results from lower blepharoplasty needing expert revisional surgery to correct the lid position to avoid life-long watery and mis-shapen eyes.

frequently asked questions
Do I have to have stitches removed?
Yes, between 5 and 7 days after your surgery we arrange stitch removal. The small plasters on the sides of your eyes after the surgery are holding the stitch ends down. So it is important to not remove these until we see you. We prefer non dissolving so you don’t get marks either side of the scar which dissolving stiches can leave behind. The stitch removal does not hurt, and takes 10-15 seconds to do in the clinic.
Will my eyes be even after the surgery?
Yes, there are always minor asymmetries in any two-sided surgery. However, these small minor asymmetries would not be typically apparent to you. During the early recovery you will definitely have noticeable asymmetry because one side always swells more than the other, but this settles. Also the scar can be redder on one side versus the other, but they both settle quite quickly in most cases and we are happy for patients to apply makeup once the stitches are removed.
Will I be swollen and bruised and what should I do to recover?
Most patients get quite prominent black eyes in the days after the surgery. Arnica tablets, available at the pharmacy, can be taken the week prior to surgery and the week of your recovery. This reduces swelling and brusing. Cool eye pads can also soothe discomfort and reduce swelling but ice should be avoided to avoid cold burns.
Sleeping with an extra pillow to elevate your head and night is very helpful in reducing the swelling, and we provide some eye ointment to reduce the risks of grtting grittiness in the eyes in the days after surgery.
When can I drive?
Patients can drive after 7 days. This is to make sure the eyes aren’t swollen and free form visual disturbance which may invalidate car insurance.
