DANIEL SALEH – AWARD-WINNING AESTHETIC SURGERY
LOWER eyebags / LOWER blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid removal surgery (blepharoplasty), performed by expert surgeon Daniel Saleh, focuses on reducing excess skin and softening under-eye heaviness to create a more youthful and rested look.
LOWER EYEBAGS & LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY SURGERY: 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 patient is different, which is why our expert lower eyebag removal surgeons take a tailored approach to address each patient’s needs.
In selected cases, where skin laxity is the primary concern, non-surgical options such as skin boosters, targeted fillers, or surface treatments like laser or chemical peels may be appropriate.
Surgical approaches are carefully planned to minimise visible scarring, and involve either hiding beneath the lashes or via a transconjunctival incision inside the eyelid for patients with hereditary fat bulging. For the latter, avoiding an external scar is worthwhile.
The lower eyebag removal procedure, carried out with Mr. Saleh’s extensive expertise, will transform the cheek region from a tired, worn appearance, back to the youthful natural contours. His precise techniques can also help reduce under-eye dark circles and add symmetry to the lower eyelid and cheek region.

frequently asked questions
Do I have to have stitches removed after lower eyebag surgery?
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 blepharoplasty 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 after lower eyebag surgery?
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.
