Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Persistent under-eye puffiness/eye bags that don’t improve with sleep or skincare
- Visible fat bulge with a tear-trough groove (shadow)
- Mild–moderate lower-lid skin laxity or fine crepe lines
- Desire a rested look without changing your natural eye shape
- Able to follow aftercare and allow ~1–2 weeks of social downtime
Techniques We Offer
- Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty (no external scar)
Inner-eyelid access to reposition or conservatively reduce fat; best when skin quality is good. - Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty (skin incision)
Fine incision beneath the lashes to treat fat, muscle, and excess skin; often paired with a skin-pinch for crepe lines. - Under-Eye Fat Repositioning / Septal Reset
Moves protruding fat to fill the tear-trough/palpebromalar groove, smoothing the lid-cheek junction (Hamra-style when indicated). - Adjuncts (case-by-case)
Canthopexy/canthoplasty for lid support and shape; SOOF lift for midface transition; energy devices/lasers for fine lines.
How We Choose the Approach
We evaluate skin laxity, fat compartment prominence, lower-lid tone, eye shape goals, and ethnic anatomy. The plan is then tailored to balance smoothness, support, and longevity.
Surgery vs. Fillers vs. Lasers
- Surgery addresses structural fat herniation and lid support for a long-lasting improvement.
- Fillers camouflage mild grooves but won’t remove bulging fat and can cause swelling/migration in some cases.
- Lasers/energy refine fine lines/texture; they complement but don’t replace surgical correction of bags.
Your Treatment Journey
- Consultation & Imaging – Skin, fat pads, lid tone, midface support; photo review and plan.
- Pre-Op Prep – Health review, medication guidance, and instructions (smoking cessation; blood-thinner adjustments as directed).
- Surgery Day – Marking, anesthesia, precise contouring and support; typically same-day discharge.
- Aftercare & Checks – Cooling, head elevation; stitch removal (if applicable) at ~5–7 days; scheduled follow-ups.
Recovery Timeline (Typical)
- Days 1–3: Swelling/tightness, mild bruising; cool compresses as directed
- Days 4–7: Stitches out (if skin incision); light makeup after medical clearance
- Week 2: Most bruising resolves; comfortable in social settings
- Weeks 3–6: Residual swelling refines; contour smooths
- Months 3–6: Final results and scar maturation
Aftercare Tips
- Sleep with head elevated for 1–2 weeks
- Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and alcohol for ~2 weeks
- Use prescribed ointments; protect scars from UV
- Report increasing pain, redness, or asymmetry promptly
Risks & Considerations
Swelling/bruising, dryness, transient numbness, asymmetry, visible scarring (skin-incision cases), prolonged edema, contour irregularity, under/over-correction, need for revision, and rare lid malposition or ectropion. Your surgeon will personalize risk reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I look hollow?
Our approach emphasizes
repositioning and support to maintain youthful volume and avoid hollowness.
Will there be visible scars?
Transconjunctival leaves no external scar. Subciliary places a fine line beneath the lashes; meticulous closure and scar care minimize visibility.
How long do results last?
Typically many years; longevity varies with skin quality, aging, and lifestyle.
When can I wear makeup or contacts?
Usually after clearance following stitch removal (if any) and once swelling subsides.
Can I combine procedures?
Yes—common pairings include
tear-trough refinement,
upper blepharoplasty/ptosis repair, or
laser resurfacing for fine lines.
I’m visiting from overseas. How long should I stay?
Many international patients plan
7–10 days for checks and stitch removal when applicable.
