Lower eyelid blepharoplasty
What is it?
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a delicate procedure designed to reduce under-eye bags, puffiness, and loose skin. It restores smoother contours and a more rested, youthful appearance.
Under-eye bags are often caused by aging or genetics and cannot be corrected with skincare alone. This procedure repositions or removes excess fat and tightens skin to create natural-looking rejuvenation.
