Lower eyelid aesthetics is a surgical procedure performed to correct bags, wrinkles and sagging under the eyes. This operation is preferred by people who want to achieve a younger and more dynamic appearance. It is usually applied to remove the signs of aging around the eyes and eliminate the tired expression.

How is Lower Eyelid Aesthetics Performed?

This aesthetic operation is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes an average of 45 minutes to 1 hour. The following steps are followed during the procedure:

1. Anesthesia Practice: The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the patient's condition.
2. Opening of Incisions The incision is usually made just below the lash line or on the inside of the eyelid.
3. Regulation of Adipose Tissues: Excess fat tissue is removed or repositioned.

This method is carefully applied to provide a natural look and restore youthfulness around the eyes.
