Types of Blepharoplasty
Procedures We Offer
Upper Eyelid Surgery
This procedure, also known as upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid blepharoplasty, involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to eliminate droopy eyelids and improve vision.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
This surgical procedure addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the lower eyelids, reducing bags and puffiness for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Scarless Transconjunctival
Lower Blepharoplasty
This is an excellent option for patients who have primarily fat prolapse under the lower eyelid with limited excess skin or muscle. In this technique, Mr Supriya will use a cut made inside the lower eyelid i.e lower conjunctiva, to access and remove or translocate excess fat. This avoids any external scar and has lesser bruising and swelling externally. In some cases this can be combined with limited skin cuts to remove excess skin.
Combined Upper and
Lower Eyelid Surgery
For comprehensive rejuvenation, we offer combined upper and lower blepharoplasty to treat both upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure.

How Does Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Work?
The procedure involves small incisions made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (scarless transconjunctival approach). These incisions allow precise access to remove or reposition fat, tighten skin and address any muscle laxity.
- Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Surgery: Ideal for patients with minimal excess skin but prominent fat pockets. This approach leaves no external scars.
- Traditional Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery: Combines fat removal or repositioning with skin tightening, addressing both puffiness and laxity.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty vs. Upper Eyelid Surgery
While upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedures address drooping eyelids and excess skin affecting the upper eyelids, lower blepharoplasty surgery focuses on rejuvenating the area beneath the eyes. These surgeries can be performed separately or together for a comprehensive approach.
Lower Blepharoplasty Risks and Considerations
Although blepharoplasty eyelid surgery is considered safe, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Dryness or irritation in the eyes
- Rare complications such as asymmetry, lid retraction or malpoisition or scarring
Choosing an experienced eyelid surgeon significantly reduces these risks and ensures optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can lower eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes, lower eyelid surgery can often be performed alongside other treatments, such as upper blepharoplasty, for a comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area. Combining procedures can address concerns in both the upper eyelids and lower eyelids, enhancing overall facial harmony. This can also be combined with deep plane face and neck lift.
What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
While upper eyelid lift surgery targets droopy eyelids and excess skin affecting vision or appearance, lower blepharoplasty eyelid surgery focuses on reducing puffiness, bags and sagging skin beneath the eyes. Both procedures are forms of aesthetic eyelid surgery and can be tailored to your individual needs.
Is lower eyelid surgery a safe procedure?
Yes, lower eyelid surgery is a well-established surgical procedure with a strong safety record when performed by an experienced surgeon. As with any surgery, there are potential risks, but these are minimised with proper planning and post-operative care.
How does blepharoplasty improve the appearance of the eyes?
Blepharoplasty i.e. upper eyelid lift and lower eyelid surgery remove or reposition excess skin and fat, restoring a smoother, more youthful contour. These procedures can significantly enhance the overall appearance of your eyes while maintaining natural results.
Who is a good candidate for lower eyelid blepharoplasty?
Good candidates include individuals with under-eye bags, sagging skin, or puffiness that cannot be addressed with non-surgical treatments. In some cases, patients seeking a refreshed appearance may combine this with aesthetic eyelid surgery to achieve optimal results.
