Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower Eyelid Surgery, also known as Lower Blepharoplasty or Under-Eye Bag Removal Surgery, is one of the most sought-after procedures for restoring a youthful, refreshed look. At Magniva Aesthetics, we specialise in advanced, scarless and natural-looking lower eyelid rejuvenation techniques tailored to Indian facial anatomy.

What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower Blepharoplasty targets ageing changes in the lower eyelid, including:

  • Under-eye bags / puffiness
  • Loose, wrinkled or crepey lower eyelid skin
  • Fat prolapse
  • Hollowness under the eyes
  • Dark circles caused by shadowing
  • Tired or aged appearance

The procedure removes or repositions excess fat, tightens the skin and smooths the eyelid-cheek transition.

Types of Lower Eyelid Surgery (Techniques)

1. Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty (Scarless Technique)
  • Incision placed inside the eyelid
  • No visible scars
  • Ideal for patients with under-eye bags but minimal loose skin
  • Preserves natural eyelid structure
2. Transcutaneous Lower Blepharoplasty (Skin + Muscle Tightening)
  • Incision placed below the lash line
  • Excess skin is removed and muscles tightened
  • Ideal for wrinkles and loose skin
3. Fat Repositioning / Fat Redraping
  • Instead of removing fat, the fat is redistributed
  • Treats hollowness and shadowing
  • Smooths tear trough area
4. Lower Eyelid + Midface Lift Combination
  • For severe under-eye bags and midface sagging
  • Elevates mid-cheek fat pads for youthful contours

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you have:

  • Puffy under-eye bags
  • Loose or wrinkled lower eyelid skin
  • Fat prolapse or tear trough deformity
  • Tired, aged under-eye appearance
  • Dark circles due to volume loss

You may not be suitable if you have:

  • Severe dry eyes
  • Eyelid malposition
  • Thyroid eye disease
  • Uncontrolled medical conditions

What Happens During Surgery?

Step-by-Step

  1. Detailed pre-surgical analysis of eyelid & cheek anatomy
  2. Local or general anaesthesia
  3. Incision inside eyelid (scarless) or below lash line
  4. Fat removal or repositioning
  5. Skin / muscle tightening if needed
  6. Smoothing of eyelid-cheek junction
  7. No visible stitches (for scarless method)

Duration: 45–90 minutes.

Recovery Time

  • Mild swelling
  • Most people resume work within a week
