Overview
Lower blepharoplasty surgery removes the loose skin and wrinkles that are situated below the eyes. Loose skin and fat will be removed to create a tighter, more lifted, younger looking under eye area. It is the perfect procedure for patients who feel that their undereyes look more sagging, wrinkled and uneven than it did before. The procedure can make you look much younger in a short period of time.
