Hello, My under eye fat pads have started bulging out in the last two years and it bothers me. Based on these photos, am I a candidate for lower blepharoplasty, or is it not yet indicated? If I am not a candidate would fillers be an option? Thank you
Answer: Scarless lower blepharoplasty Yes you do appear to be candidate for scarless lower blepharoplasty but best to have personal evaluation to determine. Also study various techniques for lower blepharoplasty and understand why the gold standard is transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with eye fat bags repositioning.

Answer: Transconjunctival blepharoplasty Hi @jessica1993. Thank you for sending your photos-- you would be a great candidate for a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty. A lower blepharoplasty will address the herniated fat pads and excess skin under your eyes giving you a more refreshed and rested appearance. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Yes you are a candidate ! Yes, you are an excellent candidate for a transconjunctival blepharoplasty (incision hidden on the inside of the eyelid). Rather than simply remove the fat in your lower eyelid, we will reposition it to soften the depression of the tear trough. We would also perform a lateral canthopexy to provide more structure support to the lower eyelid, which will also improve the contour and lateral sweep of the lower eyelid.

Answer: A Blepharoplasty is a Great Option to Target Under Eye Sagging. Thank you for your question and pictures! By the pictures that you have provided, it seems that you would be a candidate for a lower blepharoplasty. Horizontal eyelid wrinkles and sagginess can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your unique anatomy as well as what exactly is bothering you.

Answer: Eye bags You are a great candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty. During this surgery fat is removed and repositioned to allow a smooth transition from the lower lid to cheek. The incision is made on the backside of the eyelid without leaving a scar. Best to see an eyelid expert.
