Am I a good candidate for a lower eyelid blepharoplasty? I’m only 22 years old but I’ve had puffy eyes and dark circles since puberty. I’m wondering if a blepharoplasty would be worth getting as I constantly look tired regardless of how much sleep I get every night.
Answer: Eyelid Surgery Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos you have extra skin and fat pads under your eyes. For get rid of the extra skin and the dark circles I can suggest lower eyelid blepharoplasty and fat injection to under your eye area. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty Hi @Courageous122939. Thank you for sending your photos-- you would be a great candidate for a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. The procedure will address the herniated fat pads and under your eyes giving you a more refreshed and rested appearance. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty Common reasons for lower blepharoplasty include tear trough deformity or pseudoherniation of the orbital fat. An in-person exam would provide a more accurate diagnosis, but preliminarily based on your photos it does appear you have pseudoherniation of fat creating "eye bags.” They should also be more prominent when you look up. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning will provide nice results and a better lid-cheek transition in this case. This procedure can be done through an incision that’s hidden on the inside of your eyelid so there’s no scar on the outside that you can see. Consult with 2-3 surgeons in person and determine your comfort level with their approach, demeanor, and before and after results. Good luck! @drdonyoo

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty: things you should know Thank you for your question and photos. Though you are young, the under-eye concerns you describe may be due to genetics rather than aging. You may benefit from a lower blepharoplasty to tighten loose muscles and reposition fat below the eye to add volume and create a firmer, smoother appearance.

Answer: Yes, good candidate Yes, based on your photos you look like a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery. You have two bulging spots in your lower eyelids, one of which is bulging fat (which is removed in a lower blepharoplasty) and the other is orbicularis hypertrophy, which could be removed or left based on your goals. The other thing to consider in your case is probably fat grafting to the cheek (not so much that you don't look like yourself), which would help support the lower eyelid and improve your result.
