THE LOWER EYELID LIFT SURGERY
Considering a lower eyelid lift to refresh your under-eye area and restore a youthful, well-rested appearance? Discover what to expect when you choose Dr. Sofiane Rimouche for your lower blepharoplasty journey:
Consultation and Evaluation:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sof. During this appointment, he will listen to your concerns, assess your lower eyelid anatomy, and discuss your goals for under-eye rejuvenation. A thorough evaluation will determine if a lower eyelid lift is the best approach for your needs.
Preparation:
On the day of your procedure, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility, where Dr. Sof and his team will ensure you are comfortable and well-prepared. Anaesthesia will be administered to minimise discomfort and allow for a smooth, stress-free experience.
Surgical Technique:
Dr. Sof will utilise advanced surgical techniques to reduce puffiness, remove excess fat, and tighten loose skin beneath the eyes. His approach is designed to create natural-looking results, avoiding a hollowed or overdone appearance.
Lower Eyelid Lift (Lower Blepharoplasty)
For patients experiencing under-eye bags, puffiness, or loose skin, Dr. Sof may recommend a lower eyelid lift. This procedure involves making discreet incisions either just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) to remove or reposition fat and tighten the skin. The result is a smoother, more youthful under-eye area with reduced shadows and puffiness.
Closing Incisions and Recovery
Following the procedure, Dr. Sof will close the incisions with fine sutures and apply dressings as needed. You’ll be monitored in the recovery area before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions. Dr. Sof will schedule follow-up appointments to track your healing progress and address any concerns.
Results
As you heal from your lower eyelid lift, you’ll start to notice a brighter, more refreshed eye area, with reduced puffiness and smoother skin. Dr. Sof’s expert approach ensures natural-looking results that complement your overall facial features, restoring a youthful and well-rested appearance.

BENEFITS TO HAVING A LOWER Eyelid Lift
THE BENEFITS OF AN LOWER EYELID LIFT
You may choose to undergo a Lower Eyelid Lift for a variety of reasons which are personal to you. These may include:
Improved Appearance
Many individuals undergo lower eyelid lift surgery to refresh their appearance and reduce signs of ageing. Puffiness, under-eye bags, and sagging skin beneath the eyes can create a tired or aged look. By addressing excess skin, wrinkles, and fat deposits, lower eyelid surgery restores a smoother, firmer under-eye area for a more youthful and revitalised appearance.
Enhanced Confidence
The eyes are a defining feature of the face, and concerns like under-eye bags or sagging lower eyelids can affect self-confidence. Lower eyelid lift surgery helps smooth and tighten the under-eye area, allowing individuals to feel more refreshed and confident in both social and professional settings.
Improved Vision
In some cases, sagging lower eyelids can cause functional concerns, such as exposing more of the eye and leading to irritation or dryness. Lower eyelid lift surgery helps reposition the eyelid, reducing discomfort and improving eye protection, while also enhancing overall facial harmony and appearance.
Treatment of Functional Issues
Apart from cosmetic concerns, lower eyelid lift surgery can also address functional issues such as ectropion (outward sagging of the lower eyelid), which can lead to eye irritation, dryness, and excessive tearing. By correcting eyelid position, this procedure helps restore comfort and protect eye health.
POTENTIAL RISKS OF HAVING A LOWER Eyelid Lift
RISKS OF A LOWER EYELID LIFT
Lower eyelid lift surgery, while highly effective in rejuvenating the under-eye area, carries certain risks and potential complications. These may include swelling, bruising, dry eyes, infection, scarring, or temporary changes in eyelid position. However, under the care of Dr. Sof, you can trust in his expertise and dedication to patient safety. He employs advanced techniques and personalised treatment plans to minimise risks and deliver natural, harmonious results. With his meticulous approach and compassionate care, you can undergo lower eyelid lift surgery with confidence, knowing you’re in skilled hands.
During your consultation, Dr. Sof will provide a detailed discussion of all potential risks and benefits.
THINGS TO AVOID AFTER LOWER EYELID LIFT SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Strenuous Activities: Avoid engaging in strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and activities that strain the eyes, for the duration specified by Dr. Sof. Excessive movement or strain can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
- Rubbing or Touching the Eyes: Refrain from rubbing or touching the eyes, eyelids, or surrounding areas, as this can irritate the surgical site and lead to inflammation, infection, or damage to the delicate tissues. Follow Dr. Sof's instructions for gentle cleansing and care of the eyelids to promote proper healing.
- Exposure to Sunlight: Minimise exposure to direct sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, as excessive sun exposure can worsen swelling, bruising, and scarring. Wear sunglasses with UV protection and avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially during peak hours, until Dr. Sof advises it is safe to do so.
- Smoking and Alcohol Consumption: Avoid smoking and consuming alcohol during the recovery period, as these substances can impair circulation, delay healing, and increase the risk of complications such as infection or poor wound healing. Follow Dr. Sof's recommendations for a healthy lifestyle and abstain from smoking and alcohol consumption to support optimal recovery.
- Skipping Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Sof to monitor your healing progress, address any concerns or complications, and remove sutures if necessary. These appointments are essential for ensuring proper healing, optimising results, and receiving personalised guidance for post-operative care.
POST OP LOWER EYELID LIFT SURGERY AFTERCARE
It is vital all of our patients closely follow these steps
- Follow Medication Instructions: Take any prescribed medications, such as pain relievers or antibiotics, as directed by Dr. Sof to manage discomfort, prevent infection, and promote healing. Follow the prescribed dosage and frequency carefully, and do not discontinue medications without consulting Dr. Sof.
- Apply Cold Compresses: Use cold compresses or ice packs as recommended by Dr. Sof to reduce swelling and bruising around the eyes. Apply the compresses gently to the eyelids for short intervals, taking care not to apply excessive pressure to the surgical area. Cold therapy can help minimise discomfort and promote faster healing.
- Keep the Head Elevated: Keep your head elevated while resting or sleeping to reduce swelling and improve blood circulation to the surgical area. Use extra pillows to elevate your head and upper body at a comfortable angle, or consider sleeping in a reclining chair for the first few nights following surgery.
- Practice Proper Eye Care: Follow Dr. Sof's instructions for gentle eye care, including cleaning the eyelids with saline solution or prescribed cleansers and avoiding harsh rubbing or scrubbing of the eyes. Use any prescribed eye drops or ointments to keep the eyes lubricated and moist, especially if experiencing dryness or irritation.
- Limit Screen Time and Eye Strain: Minimise screen time and avoid activities that require prolonged focus or strain on the eyes, such as reading, using electronic devices, or watching television. Taking regular breaks to rest the eyes and practicing gentle eye exercises recommended by Dr. Sof can help reduce eye strain and promote comfort during the healing process.

FAQS ABOUT A LOWER EYELID LIFT

How long do the results of a lower eyelid lift last?
The results of lower blepharoplasty are long-lasting, typically for many years. The procedure significantly reduces under-eye bags and sagging skin, though natural ageing will continue over time. Maintaining good skincare can help prolong results.
