Lower Eyelid Surgery in Torrance & South Bay – Remove Eye Bags with Precision

Lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the under-eye area by removing excess skin and fat and correcting bags under the eyes for a more youthful and refreshed look.

Ideal candidates are individuals in good overall health, without severe eye conditions, who wish to reduce under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors.

Lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid surgery, typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and whether it's combined with other surgeries.

Lower eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, based on the patient's preference and the surgeon's recommendation.

Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Complete healing and final results may take several weeks to months.

Incisions are typically made along the lash line or inside the eyelid, making scars well-concealed and barely noticeable once healed.
