Lower Eyelids in Long Island, NY
Eliminate tired under-eye bags and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance with lower blepharoplasty surgery by Dr. John Layliev.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is surgery that rejuvenates your lid-cheek junction. Dr. Layliev may choose to do this by removing skin, excess fatty tissue, and also by obliterating the tear trough which is the dark indented line under the eyelids that becomes noticeable in so many people with age. Fat from the lower eyelid can be moved to fill the tear trough line, allowing for a smooth transition between the eyes and the cheeks, which is the key to a youthful appearing midface. Dr. Layliev most commonly uses the transconjunctival incision approach, which is an incision on the inside of the eyelid for fat removal and fat repositioning. Skin excision is typically done using the skin pinch excision technique. In certain cases, a standard external approach is used to achieve aesthetic goals.
Dr. Layliev will determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for the various aspects of a lower eyelid blepharoplasty and will help you understand the benefits of surgery. Request a consultation online or call to schedule an appointment.

Recovery & Side Effects of Blepharoplasty
Recovery after lower eyelid surgery is typically straightforward with proper post-operative care and guidance. Mild swelling and bruising are expected during the first week and can be managed with cold compresses and keeping your head elevated while resting. Most patients feel comfortable returning to desk work and social activities within 7–10 days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about three weeks.
Temporary dryness, tearing, or blurred vision may occur during the early stages of healing and usually resolve as the eyes recover. While all surgical procedures carry some risk, complications are uncommon when lower blepharoplasty is performed by an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon and patients follow their aftercare instructions.
