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: 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. By contouring and restructuring the lower lid, the excess puffiness and dark circles you describe can be diminished. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to conduct a physical examination and determine the best course of action.

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.
