What is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Also called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery is designed to remove sagging skin on or around the eyelids, lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating the eye area. Eyelid surgery achieves a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Eyelid surgery focuses on the upper or lower eyelids or is a combination procedure for both. During upper eyelid surgery, loose, drooping skin around and on the upper lids is removed, helping to resolve a hooded, older, or sleepy appearance. During lower eyelid surgery, puffy bags or dark hollows under the eyes are filled, creating a youthful, smooth contour.

Is Lower Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

If you’re dealing with issues below your eyes and you’re in Portland or the surrounding areas, it’s pretty likely that you’re a great candidate for lower eyelid surgery with Dr. Vila. During your in person consultation, he’ll talk you through all your options, when it comes to your ideal results, and help you decide whether or not this is the procedure for you.

It’s likely a great option if you’re dealing with:

Drooping skin
Sagging skin

Sunken appearance
Loose tissue
Tired appearance
Wrinkles and lines

How Does Lower Eyelid Surgery Work?

Depending on the extent of the treatment area and the details of your procedure, lower eyelid surgery typically takes between two and four hours to complete, and involves general anesthesia. During your consultations, Dr. Vila will talk you through everything you need to know about your procedure, including incision placement, the exact time it’ll take to complete, and so forth.

In most cases, the incision will be made just below your lower eyelash. These incisions are quite small, and are generally tough to spot once they’ve fully healed, so you won’t have to worry about any obvious scarring. Dr. Vila will remove any excess skin or unwanted fat, while repositioning the tissues and muscles for a tighter, more youthful appearance.
