Remove heavy bags and puffiness beneath your eyes with a lower eyelid lift with Dr. Nicolas Wingate.
When the skin beneath your eyes stretches with age, it can result in heavy bags, excess fatty deposits, and an overall heavy and tired appearance. A lower eyelid lift with Dr. Wingate (also known as a lower blepharoplasty) can address these issues, removing the extra volume and restoring a beautifully youthful expression.
A lower eyelid lift with Dr. Wingate can:
During lower eyelid surgery, Dr. Wingate will make a precise incision either inside your lower eyelid or just beneath the lower eyelashes, hidden within your natural creases. Through these tiny openings, he will remove excess skin, muscle, and sculpt and redistribute fat. Once he’s addressed the extra volume, he will smooth and contour the area to restore a naturally youthful expression.
You’ll return home shortly after surgery to begin healing. Most of our patients return to the normal daily routine in about two weeks. However, it can take a few months to heal completely. As you recover from the procedure, please know that our entire team is here to support you and ensure that you have everything you need to heal.
If you’re unhappy with the way your eyes are aging and you want to improve puffiness, drooping skin, and wrinkles beneath your eyes, you may benefit from a lower eyelid lift.
Dr. Wingate will carefully place each of your incisions so that they are either completely hidden inside the eyelid or within the natural creases beneath your lashes. As such, the resulting scars should be virtually imperceptible once you’ve healed from the procedure.
Most of our patients in Wayne and the surrounding areas are comfortable returning to work within one week. At that point, most of the swelling and bruising should have dissipated.
