What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, focuses on addressing specific issues like puffiness and sagging skin beneath the eyes by trimming away excess fat, muscle, and skin. Dr. Sherman and Dr. Melson carefully tailor the procedure to your needs, leaving you with a more youthful and rested appearance. Whether performed individually or in conjunction with upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery provides a customized solution for your unique concerns. Our expertise extends to recommending complementary treatments like an endobrow lift or BOTOX for optimal results.

Lower Eyelid Surgery Technique

During lower eyelid surgery in Nashville, TN, Dr. Sherman and Dr. Melson strategically place incisions, either concealing them behind the lid in a "hidden incision" or within the natural lower lid fold, ensuring it is inconspicuous along the lashline and within smile creases. Excess fat, muscle, and skin are meticulously removed before closing the incision with fine, virtually invisible sutures. For eyelid puffiness caused by excess fat, a concealed transconjunctival eyelid lift is performed. This involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid to remove and rearrange excess fatty material. Sutures used in this method are hidden, self-dissolving, and leave no visible scar. Under standard conditions, lower blepharoplasty typically lasts one to two hours.
