What Is Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery?
A lower blepharoplasty targets the lower eyelids to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance. At MOY MD, your facial plastic surgeon will design a personalized surgical plan tailored to your specific needs. The procedure is performed using discreet techniques: either through an incision hidden within the inner eyelid mucosa or just beneath the lower lash line.
During the surgery, excess fat, skin, and muscle are carefully removed or repositioned to achieve a smoother, more youthful look. This process effectively reduces under-eye bags and wrinkles, addressing the sagging fat pads that naturally droop with age. By refining these areas, a lower blepharoplasty helps restore a rested and revitalized appearance.

Rejuvenate Your Lower Eyelids with MOY MD
Lower eyelid surgery is designed to eliminate under-eye bags, giving you a refreshed and well-rested appearance. For those with crepey or wrinkled under-eye skin, we often combine this procedure with fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing to smooth and rejuvenate the skin simultaneously.
If you have laxity in your lower eyelid, we may pair the surgery with a Canthopexy. This procedure tightens the lower eyelid and enhances support, improving the shape and definition of the eye corners for a more aesthetically pleasing look.


The Lower Eyelid Lift Recovery
Eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure offered at MOY MD Facial Plastic Surgery & Dermatology with locations in Beverly Hills and Torrance. Post-operative care is crucial for optimal results, including using cold compresses, keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and following your surgeon’s instructions. Most patients can resume normal activities within 7-10 days, with full recovery taking a few weeks. Sun protection is essential during healing, and scars are usually hidden and minimal. Eyelid surgery can effectively rejuvenate your appearance by addressing puffy eyes, under-eye bags, and dark circles.
For the first 48-72 hours, using cold compresses, such as ice-soaked cotton pads or a bag of frozen peas, is highly recommended to reduce swelling. Keeping your head elevated and ensuring ample rest are vital for a speedy recovery. Any bruising can typically be camouflaged with makeup and will gradually fade.
Since MOY MD uses dissolving stitches, there is no need for uncomfortable suture removal. While healing, eyelids may feel tight and sore, but extra-strength Tylenol usually manages any discomfort. Ointment may be provided for incision lubrication, especially if combined with laser resurfacing.

A lower blepharoplasty may be an excellent option if you are ready to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
