Lower Eyelid Surgery

Common Inquiries

Lower eyelid surgery is a cosmetic operation aimed at removing excess skin, fat, and muscle under the eyes. At ReGenesis Wellness & Medspa, we offer lower eyelid blepharoplasty to achieve our clients' aesthetic desires and to address vision issues caused by excessive tissue.

Individuals who are concerned about how the tissue beneath their eyes looks or suffer from impaired side vision due to this tissue might consider lower eyelid surgery. Many who undergo this procedure notice they appear more refreshed and youthful.

The procedure begins with a physical examination and vision test to confirm suitability for surgery. Your surgeon will photograph your eyelids from multiple angles to plan the procedure according to your goals.

On surgery day, local anesthesia will be applied around the eyelids, and you may receive medication for relaxation. Small incisions are made along the eyelids, surplus tissue is removed as planned, and the incisions are sutured closed.

This outpatient surgery requires arranging for someone to drive you home afterward and stay with you overnight.

Certain patients qualify for a medically necessary eyelid lift covered by insurance. Others may opt for a cosmetic version of the surgery at their own expense.

Like all surgeries, lower eyelid procedures carry minor risks. Some patients feel pain at the incision site, sensitivity to light, blurry vision, or dry eyes post-surgery; however, these symptoms typically subside within days. Bruising and swelling usually diminish within 10-14 days, revealing the final outcome.

Adhering strictly to aftercare guidelines aids in smooth recovery. Alleviate discomfort by applying an ice pack for 10 minutes hourly on the eyes. Avoid strenuous activities such as heavy lifting or intense exercise for at least one week post-surgery; smoking should also be avoided during this period. If using contact lenses, switch to glasses for at least two weeks.

If you're interested in learning more about lower eyelid surgery, reach out to ReGenesis Wellness & Medspa today. Our experienced surgeons have been assisting clients in Tampa Bay since 1991.
