Bleparoplasty
The lower eyelids are one of the most telling signs of tired ness and old. A ape baggy, puffy lower eyelid makes us look older and more tired than we are. These complaints can be resolved with surgical or non-surgical methods (such as lasers and under-eye fillers). These treatments are personalized and the most appropriate treatment can be planned for you after a physical examination.
Laser can be used for undereye bags without surgery. The laser is non-ablative and does not cause superficial skin peeling. It often requires 3 sessions. There should be 10-15 days between sessions. There is redness for about 1-2 days. It is necessary to protect the skin from the sun. Good results can never be obtained as much as with surgery, but it is preferred by some patients because it does not require anesthesia and can be applied in 15-20 minutes under office conditions.
Lower lid blepharoplasty is recommended for more severe deformities.
