The eyes are among the most expressive features of the face, but over time, puffiness, loose skin, and dark circles can create a tired or aged appearance. Lower blepharoplasty, often referred to as under-eye surgery, is designed to restore a smoother, more refreshed look by addressing these changes. The result is a brighter, more rested appearance that enhances your overall facial harmony.
At Jaibaji Plastic Surgery, lower blepharoplasty is performed by Dr. Moneer Jaibaji, a double board-certified plastic and general surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation. His approach focuses on precise, natural-looking results that improve the under-eye area without creating an artificial or overcorrected appearance.
What Lower Blepharoplasty Can Improve
Lower blepharoplasty is designed to address common concerns beneath the eyes, particularly those related to aging and volume changes.
You may benefit from this procedure if you have:
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Loose or sagging skin beneath the lower eyelids
- Fine lines or wrinkles in the under-eye area
- Dark circles that contribute to a tired appearance
By removing or repositioning fat and tightening the surrounding tissue, this procedure can significantly improve how rested and youthful your eyes appear.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Lower blepharoplasty is suitable for adults of many ages, though most patients are 35 or older. More important than age is overall health and having realistic expectations about the outcome.
Ideal candidates typically:
- Are in good overall health
- Do not smoke or are willing to stop during recovery
- Are bothered by persistent under-eye bags or loose skin
- Understand the limitations of the procedure
It’s important to note that lower blepharoplasty does not address sagging upper eyelids or drooping brows. During your consultation, Dr. Jaibaji will determine whether this procedure alone or in combination with other treatments is best for your goals.

Lower Blepharoplasty procedure
The eyes are one of the most mobile and expressive features of the face. But as we get older, wrinkles, bags and other signs of aging can make our eyes appear tired, sad or worn.
Eye bags treatment, also known as lower blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to give you a fresher, well-rested appearance.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Lower blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Small incisions are carefully placed just below the lower eyelashes or inside the eyelid, depending on the technique used. Through these incisions, excess fat is removed or repositioned, and the skin and underlying tissue are gently tightened.
Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed with fine sutures designed to minimize visible scarring. In some cases, additional treatments such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels may be combined to improve skin texture and discoloration.
Your Recovery After Lower Blepharoplasty
After surgery, some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected. Patients typically return home the same day and are advised to rest with their head elevated during the first few days.
A follow-up visit is scheduled within about a week to remove sutures, at which point most patients feel comfortable returning to work and daily activities. The majority of swelling resolves within two weeks, though subtle swelling may persist for a few months.
Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four weeks. As healing progresses, the under-eye area appears smoother and more refreshed, with final results becoming more apparent over time.
Understanding the Possible Risks
As with any surgical procedure, lower blepharoplasty carries some risks. These may include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, scarring, or temporary changes in vision.
While complications are uncommon, they are discussed thoroughly during your consultation. Dr. Jaibaji will review your medical history and provide detailed guidance to help minimize risks and support a smooth recovery.
