I had blepharoplasty for lower lids approximately 7 years ago. My undereye bags are now worse than ever at age 60.
Answer: Second Blepharoplasty Timing Blepharoplasty surgery can last for more than 10 years in most cases and it can be re-done. This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with expertise in Oculoplastic surgery.

Answer: Can a 2nd lower lid blepharoplasty be done? Hi. The answer is yes. However, you it's be very selective as to who performs this surgery. There are a number of issues to take into consideration. Is there any residual fat laterally? How much excess skin is there? Removal of too much will cause an ectropion which is when the lid turns outwards. Do you need lid tightening or shortening? Research rea search and then research some more. Good luck, Dr. PG

Answer: Re-do lower lids Yes - a second surgery can be done, but it needs to be done with care and respect to the tissues. Additional fat can be removed, lid support should be assessed, and extra skin, if present, can be conservatively trimmed. Best to pick someone with a lot of experience in this area - plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon.

Answer: Can a second blepharoplasty be done? Yes, but cautiously. The residual fat under the eye and the shroud of tissue that covers it can loosen up and may need to be addressed although pictures would be helpful. Second time blepharoplasties are more fraught with complication. See a well qualified, experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can a 2nd lower lid blepharoplasty be done? Secondary lower lid blepharoplasties are frequently performed in the appropriate patients.It is important to realize that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
