Lower Blepharoplasty in La Jolla, CA | Bolitho MD

Rejuvenate Your Eyes and Say Goodbye to Under-Eye Bags

The under-eye area is particularly prone to signs of aging, such as puffiness, dark circles, and sagging skin. Lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to address these concerns by removing or redistributing fat, tightening muscles, and smoothing the skin. This results in a more youthful, rested look that can enhance your entire facial appearance.

Understanding Lower Blepharoplasty in La Jolla

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that targets the under-eye area to correct puffiness, sagging skin, and under-eye bags. The surgery involves removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening the skin to create a smoother, youthful contour. At Bolitho MD, this procedure is performed with precision and expertise to achieve natural-looking results.

The Surgical Process in La Jolla

During a lower blepharoplasty, Dr. Glynn Bolitho will administer local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The procedure involves a carefully placed incision just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid to minimize visible scarring. Excess fat and skin are removed or repositioned, and muscles are tightened to create a smoother contour.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild swelling and bruising that subsides within one to two weeks. Most individuals return to normal activities after 7 to 10 days. Following post-operative instructions is crucial for optimal healing and results. Full aesthetic improvements become visible after several weeks when swelling completely resolves.
