Why Choose Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
- Corrects puffiness, sagging skin, and under-eye bags
- Smooths and rejuvenates the lower eyelid contour
- Delivers natural results without changing the shape of the eye
- Can restore confidence and improve overall facial harmony
- Offers long-lasting results, typically 7–15 years
For patients seeking eye bag removal in London, this procedure remains the most reliable and effective option.
WHAT TO EXPECT during a lower blepharoplasty surgery:
During lower blepharoplasty in London, incisions are tailored to your needs. When only fat is removed or repositioned, the incision can be placed inside the eyelid (transconjunctival blepharoplasty), leaving no visible scar. If skin laxity is present, a fine incision may be made just below the lash line to remove a small amount of skin without altering the natural eyelid shape. In some cases, canthal suspension (canthopexy) is performed to support the eyelid and maintain its position.
The surgery typically takes between one and two and a half hours, and swelling or bruising usually settles within one to two weeks, with final results visible over the following weeks.
Key details at a glance:
- Surgery time: 1–2.5 hours
- Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic with sedation
- Incision placement: Inside eyelid (scarless) or below lash line (discreet scar)
- Downtime: 1–2 weeks for swelling and bruising
- Results: Long-lasting (7–15 years) with natural ageing continuing
After surgery, blurred vision may occur due to antibiotic ointment, and artificial tears are prescribed to prevent dryness. Cold compresses and head elevation reduce swelling in the first 48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for two weeks. Sutures are usually removed at one week, and makeup can be worn again after this point.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LOWER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY in London:
Lower blepharoplasty restores balance and harmony to the under-eye area by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat. This smooths and defines the lower eyelids, reducing puffiness and sagging for a refreshed, youthful look. Patients often find that the procedure not only improves appearance but also boosts overall confidence.
Results are long-lasting, typically between seven and fifteen years, and can be further enhanced with treatments such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing to refine skin texture and reduce crepiness.
Key benefits at a glance:
- Reduces or removes under-eye bags and puffiness
- Smooths and tightens sagging under-eye skin
- Defines the lower eyelid contour for a youthful appearance
- Creates a natural, refreshed look without changing eye shape
- Long-lasting results (7–15 years)
- Can be combined with laser or peel treatments for enhanced skin quality
For patients considering under-eye surgery in London, this procedure remains the most effective and reliable way to achieve natural, rejuvenated results with minimal visible scarring.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty FAQs
We’ve collated the most commonly asked questions by our patients to give you further insight into your Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty procedure. If you’d like to find out more, please get in touch with the clinic by phone or submit an enquiry.
Lower blepharoplasty is designed to address under-eye bags, puffiness, shadowing, loose skin and lower eyelid laxity. These changes are often caused by forward protrusion of orbital fat, thinning skin, or loss of mid-face support.
For patients troubled by persistent dark circles, hollowing or a tired appearance, lower eyelid surgery can restore a smoother under-eye contour and brighten the area significantly.
The most common causes include:
• Orbital fat prolapse - fat pockets push forward, creating visible “bags.”
• Thinning of the orbital septum - the membrane weakens with age, allowing fat to bulge.
• Volume loss in the mid-face - shadows form where the cheek meets the eyelid.
• Skin laxity and fine wrinkling - leading to creasing or crêpiness.
• Pigmentation - which can deepen the appearance of dark circles.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses the structural causes by repositioning or removing fat and refining skin and muscle, resulting in a smoother, more rested appearance.
Most of the initial swelling and bruising settle within 2 to 4 weeks, although the delicate skin of the lower eyelid can take several months to fully refine.
Final results — including improved smoothness, reduced shadowing, and a more even contour — are typically visible by 3 to 6 months.
There are two main approaches:
Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty
• Performed from inside the eyelid
• Leaves no external scar
• Ideal for patients with under-eye bags but little to no excess skin
• Fat is repositioned or refined to smooth the contour
Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty
• Incision just below the lash line
• Suitable when fat prolapse, skin laxity and muscle support all need addressing
• Allows for skin removal and muscle tightening when required
During your consultation, Dr Zamani will advise which approach best suits your anatomy.
Lower blepharoplasty provides long-lasting improvement, especially for under-eye bags caused by fat prolapse.
While natural ageing continues, most patients enjoy refreshed, lighter lower lids for 10 to 15 years and often do not require further surgery.
Most patients return to work within 10-14 days, as swelling and bruising tend to be slightly more noticeable in the lower lids.
If your role involves strenuous activity, long screen time, dust exposure or dry environments, you may require additional recovery time.
Pain is usually minimal. You may notice tightness or mild soreness, especially in the first few days, but this is easily managed with simple pain relief. Most patients find the discomfort surprisingly limited.
This depends on the approach:
Transconjunctival technique
• Incision placed inside the eyelid
• No external scar
Transcutaneous technique
• Fine incision placed just beneath the eyelashes
• Once healed, it becomes a faint, barely visible line
Dr Zamani uses meticulous, scar-minimising techniques to ensure the most natural outcome.
You may gently cleanse around the eyes with a soft, damp cloth, taking care not to disturb the incision line or pull on the lower lid.
Use mild, unscented products, avoid rubbing, and pat dry rather than wiping.Makeup should be avoided for two weeks.
To support healing:
• Keep your head elevated, including during sleep
• Apply cold compresses for the first 48 hours
• Avoid strenuous activity for at least a week
• Reduce screen time to minimise eye strain
• Stay hydrated and maintain a nutrient-rich diet
• Avoid smoking and alcohol
• Protect the area from UV exposure with sunglasses
Following all postoperative advice is essential for optimal healing.
Lower blepharoplasty is safe when performed by a specialist, but all surgery carries some risk. Possible risks include:
• Bruising or swelling
• Dry eyes or temporary irritation
• Asymmetry in healing
• Persistent dark circles if pigmentation is the underlying cause
• Scarring (rare)
• Ectropion (very rare)
• Vision changes (extremely rare)
Dr Zamani’s expertise significantly minimises these risks, and detailed aftercare supports a smooth recovery.
Yes, absolutely. When dark circles are caused by shadowing from hollowing or fat prolapse, lower blepharoplasty can dramatically improve their appearance.
However, if dark circles are due to pigmentation, vascular visibility, or very thin skin, complementary treatments may be required, such as:
• Laser resurfacing
• Dermal fillers
• Medical-grade skincare
During consultation, Dr Zamani will identify the exact cause of your dark circles to create a tailored plan.
Not always. For mild concerns, non-surgical options may offer improvement, including:
• Tear trough fillers
• CO₂ laser resurfacing
• Skin tightening treatments
• Medical-grade skincare
These can help, but they cannot correct true fat prolapse, the most common cause of under-eye bags. In these cases, lower blepharoplasty provides the most definitive and long-lasting result.
