What is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty in Philadelphia at W Cosmetic Surgery™ could be the answer if you are living with under-eye bags, dark circles, or sagging skin. This advanced surgical procedure tightens and smooths the lower eyelids, removing excess fat and skin to create a more youthful and well-rested appearance. The surgery is minimally invasive, with little downtime, allowing you to return to your daily life quickly—looking rejuvenated and refreshed.

What Can Lower Blepharoplasty Do?

Lower blepharoplasty is designed to address common signs of aging and fatigue around the eyes, including:

  • Reducing or removing under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Lifting sagging lower eyelids
  • Smoothing wrinkles and fine lines in the under-eye area
  • Filling hollows where the cheeks meet the lower lids
  • Improving the appearance of dark circles

The result? A brighter, more youthful appearance that creates a look that is energized and rested—and looks like you.

How is Lower Blepharoplasty Performed?

At W Cosmetic Surgery™, Dr. Allan Wulc uses a highly advanced “transconjunctival” approach, which places the incision behind the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scars. After sedation, the lower eyelid is numbed, and the procedure begins using either a laser or radiofrequency energy device (such as Renuvion) to create precise incisions without needing a scalpel.

If necessary, a small external incision (5-7 mm) may be made at the outer corner of the eyelid to lift and tighten that area. For those with wrinkles or dark circles, a Sciton dual erbium laser may smooth the skin and reduce pigmentation, leaving the under-eye area more youthful and rejuvenated.

Recovery: What to Expect?

Lower blepharoplasty is known for its relatively quick recovery period. While some bruising or swelling may occur, many patients are pleasantly surprised by how little downtime is involved. If bruising is an issue, our Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments help minimize its appearance, speeding the recovery. The majority of our patients return to work and enjoy social activities within a week, looking refreshed.
