Lower Blepharoplasty: Youthful Eyes Reimagined

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, includes surgical techniques to improve the function and appearance of the lower eyelids. Usually, lower blepharoplasty is a reductive procedure in which excess skin and fat are removed to reduce eyelid puffiness, wrinkles, and possibly sagging. The result is a more wide-eyed, youthful appearance that lasts for years!

Preparing for Lower Blepharoplasty in Dallas, TX

In the weeks leading up to your lower blepharoplasty in Dallas, TX, Dr. Meade will likely ask a few things of you. Understand it's vital that both pre- and post-surgery instructions are followed to support not only you but the success of the procedure—to realize the best possible and longest-lasting results.

Dr. Meade may ask you to:

  • Undergo further medical examinations and laboratory testing
  • Adjust or cease your medications and supplements
  • Refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, and any drug use
  • Stay well-hydrated, especially on the days just before your procedure 

I wish I had words for how much Dr. Meade has done for me. He is both an incredible doctor and person.

The Lower Eyelid Procedure

A gentle incision will be made below the lashes in your eye's natural crease or inside the lower eyelid. Dr. Meade will remove or redistribute the excess fat, muscle, and sagging skin before closing the incision and wrapping the area in gentle gauze.

Recovery and Results

Eyelid surgery is among the least painful cosmetic surgical procedures, though the effects on the patient's face can be astounding and impactful. You should enjoy a quick recovery and see the results almost immediately.

Typically, the results will last anywhere between 5 to 7 years. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty rarely needs to be repeated. If your eyelids begin to sag again over time, you may benefit from a brow lift rather than another lower eyelid surgery. As is with all of Dr. Meade's procedures, a youthful, non-operated look with long-lasting results is always the goal. 

When you're ready to know more about what the results of a lower eyelid surgery in Dallas, TX, could do to rejuvenate your look, give us a call! Our compassionate and professional team is always here to help in any way they can. Call 214.823.1691.

Is lower eyelid surgery the same as under-eye filler?

No. While under-eye fillers temporarily add volume to smooth hollows, lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that permanently removes or repositions fat and skin for longer-lasting results.

Can I combine lower eyelid surgery with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine lower blepharoplasty with upper eyelid surgery, a facelift, or non-surgical treatments like laser resurfacing for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Will I have visible scars after surgery?

Incisions are strategically placed either just below the lash line or inside the eyelid, making scars virtually invisible once healed.

How soon can I wear makeup after lower eyelid surgery?

Most patients can safely apply eye makeup about 10–14 days after surgery, once the incisions are fully closed and swelling has subsided.

Can lower eyelid surgery help with fine lines and wrinkles?

Yes, but to a degree. While the surgery removes excess skin that contributes to wrinkles, additional treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing may be recommended for deeper lines.

What is the typical age range for this procedure?

Lower blepharoplasty is popular among patients in their late 30s through their 70s, whenever puffiness, sagging, or under-eye shadows become noticeable and bothersome.

Will the results look natural?

Absolutely. Dr. Meade’s goal is to restore a rested, youthful look without altering your unique features or making you appear “overdone.”

Is lower eyelid surgery painful?

Most patients describe minimal discomfort, often limited to mild soreness and tightness around the eyes for the first few days. Pain medication and cold compresses usually manage this well.

How soon can I return to work after surgery?

Many patients return to work within 7–10 days, depending on swelling, bruising, and the nature of their job.

Are the results permanent?

While the aging process will continue, the improvements from lower eyelid surgery are long-lasting—often 5–7 years or more before any touch-up might be considered.
