Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets the lower eyelids to:

  • Reduce puffiness
  • Remove under-eye bags and
  • Eliminate excess skin.

This procedure can help patients look more alert and well-rested by addressing common signs of aging around the eyes.

Some of the main concerns lower eyelid blepharoplasty can address include:

  • Under-eye bags: Persistent puffiness or bags under the eyes caused by fat deposits.
  • Loose or sagging skin: Skin laxity that creates wrinkles or creases in the lower eyelid area.
  • Dark circles: Shadows caused by excess fat or skin can create the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

By carefully removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin, lower eyelid blepharoplasty can provide a smoother, more youthful contour to the under-eye area.

The Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Procedure

  • Lower eyelid blepharoplasty in Fort Worth is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be used in some cases. 
  • Dr. Goggin will create small, discreet incisions either just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid, depending on the extent of the treatment. 
  • Through these incisions, excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned to create a more youthful appearance.

Minimal Downtime, Major Benefits

  • Fat repositioning/removal: Dr. Goggin will reposition the fat pads under the eyes or excise excess fat to create a smoother and more natural transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
  • Skin tightening: If needed, excess skin will be removed to eliminate wrinkles and creases, restoring a firmer, more youthful appearance.
  • Minimal scarring: Incisions are small and well-concealed, so visible scarring is minimal. Most patients find that their scars fade over time and become nearly invisible.
