What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower blepharoplasty can be instrumental in correcting puffy, sagging lower eyelids and troublesome under-eye bags. The surgery restores a refreshed, rested countenance and a more energized facial expression. Drooping skin in the lower eyelids can significantly impact the shape of the eyes and leave patients feeling self-conscious about their appearance in both professional and social situations.

Dr. Reddy in Atlanta utilizes today’s most advanced surgical techniques to optimize your safety and results. Scarring is well-hidden within the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelids, emphasizing a natural-looking result.

In general, surgery is recommended for patients who are unhappy with the way puffy, sagging lower lids have altered their facial expression, making them appear tired, angry, or sad. They may also wish to correct the look of under-eye bags, creases, lines, and folds.

What’s the First Step?

Your first step in undergoing lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Reddy in Atlanta is to sit down for a private in-person or virtual consultation at her state-of-the-art office suites. This first visit will entail a frank discussion of your aesthetic goals, a thorough response to all your questions, and a detailed physical and medical assessment. The doctor will review the risks, benefits, recovery time, costs, and projected outcomes for lower eyelid surgery.

Once your surgery date has been scheduled, we will provide you with personalized preoperative instructions that will help make your treatment journey seamless and rewarding. In some cases, you may be asked to undergo additional lab testing and discontinue the use of certain medications and supplements. If you smoke, you will need to quit a month or two before and after your procedure, as smoking can significantly interfere with your safety and results.

Finally, schedule a friend, family member, or responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure and assist you with basic tasks for the first 24 to 48 hours of your recovery process.

What to Expect on the Day of Lower Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Reddy performs lower eyelid surgery using local anesthesia with or without sedation. In cases where other aesthetic procedures are being added on, she may choose to use general anesthesia. Once you are resting and relaxed, the doctor will make tiny incisions on the inner surface of the lower eyelids or within the lower lash lines. Scarring is thus completely undetectable after surgery. Dr. Reddy will then firm the underlying ligaments, reposition pockets of fat, and correct the appearance of puffiness, eye bags, and other signs of aging.

Lower Eyelid Surgery Recovery

Most patients resume work within 1 to 2 weeks after their lower blepharoplasty in Atlanta. Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the targeted areas. These symptoms typically peak in the first few days and then gradually resolve with time. You are instructed to sleep on your back with your head elevated to help reduce swelling and promote optimal healing. Avoid wearing contact lenses for 10 to 14 days and refrain from strenuous exercise for 3 to 4 weeks. Additionally, you should stay out of the sun to avoid harmful UV rays until all swelling, inflammation, and bruising have disappeared.
