What are the long term effects of lower blepharoplasty. I've read posts from people who've had the surgery several years ago and now wished they never had it performed.

Answer: Long term effects Thank you for the question.As long as the surgeon is conservative with fat and skin removal, you should have no bad side effects down the road. Overly cautious surgery is the best surgery. See an oculoplastic surgeon for consultation and to evaluate if your particular eyelids have any unusual issues. Good luck.

Answer: Eyelid surgery, long-term effects Things have changed greatly in eyelid surgery over the last 20 years. Most surgeons have modified their techniques to correspond with newer information regarding fat distribution and bone resorption with aging. For instance, when I was trained, we were removing large amounts of fat from around the eyes, which, over time, left the eyes appearing hollowed out. Now most surgeons remove much less fat , choosing instead to redistribute the fat, and can achieve a more natural, long lasting youthful appearance to lower lids. I would recommend a Board Certfied Plastic Surgeon who has a special interest in eyelid surgery and experience with the latest techniques.
