Am I a Good Candidate for Lower Blepharoplasty?

You may be an ideal candidate for lower blepharoplasty in Philadelphia with Dr. Allan Wulc if you experience any of the following:

Excess skin in the under-eye area
Hollows or dark circles beneath the eyes
Puffiness or fullness in the lower eyelids, particularly when smiling
A desire for a more youthful and refreshed appearance

How Is Lower Blepharoplasty in Philadelphia 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.
