WHEN UNDER-EYE BAGS, HOLLOWS, OR PUFFINESS AFFECT YOUR CONFIDENCE…
The lower eyelids are a delicate part of your face, and they play a crucial role in your overall appearance. Over time, the skin around your lower eyelids can lose elasticity and firmness due to factors like aging, sun exposure, and genetics. This can lead to the development of under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles, making you look tired. In addition to under-eye bags, often there is a hollow area underneath the bags referred to as tear trough hollows. These features, whether part of your natural appearance or acquired over time, can affect your confidence.
What is lower blepharoplasty?
Lower blepharoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to refresh and rejuvenate the lower eyelids by repositioning or removing excess fat, and in some cases, addressing skin and muscle. This surgical procedure helps reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and puffiness while smoothing out fine lines, creating a more rested and vibrant look. Our approach focuses on fat repositioning to maintain natural fullness and achieve a smooth contour, rather than removing too much tissue, which can make the eyes appear hollow and skeletonized. For those seeking lower blepharoplasty in Berkeley and the Bay Area, Dr. Eliasieh will also talk to you about whether or not you may be a good candidate for fat transfer, which, when performed along with your lower eyelid blepharoplasty, can help optimize volume enhancement of the tear troughs and face.
Performed with precision by our oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, the goal is to refresh your lower eyelids to boost your vitality and confidence. The procedure will harmonize with the natural aging process, blending with your unique facial features. Your recovery will be smooth and the results will be long-lasting.

The steps involved in your lower blepharoplasty
When you undergo lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Eliasieh, the process begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and expectations. Dr. Eliasieh will evaluate your lower eyelids and facial structure, explain the procedure, and answer any questions you may have. On the day of surgery, you’ll be given anesthesia to ensure comfort. The exact surgical approach will be specifically tailored to your anatomy and goals.
As a cosmetic surgeon that specializes in eyelids, Dr. Eliasieh is an expert in the latest advancements in cosmetic lower eyelid surgery, including fat repositioning. Rather than simply removing the prolapsing fat in the lower eyelids, which can result in a hollow and skeletonized appearance, Dr. Eliasieh repositions the fat into the tear trough hollows underneath the eyes. This simultaneously reduces the eyelid bags and fills in the unwanted hollows. For those considering lower blepharoplasty in Berkeley and the Bay Area, he performs the procedure with a light touch to ensure minimal scarring and naturalized results. After surgery, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote swift healing and optimal results. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure your complete satisfaction.
When will I see the final results?
You can expect to see initial improvements in your lower eyelids within a few weeks after your lower blepharoplasty. The swelling and bruising will gradually subside, revealing a smoother appearance. However, the final results will become fully apparent after a few months as your tissues continue to heal and settle into their new contours.
Patience is key, and following Dr. Eliasieh’s aftercare guidelines will help ensure the best possible outcome. Your refreshed, natural look will continue to enhance your confidence and vitality for years to come.
