Rejuvenating Your Eyes with Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
At Eyelid Center of Utah, Dr. Kian Eftekhari leads specialized Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty in Salt Lake City. Tailored solutions are offered to address under eye bags and restore a refreshed look, enhancing facial features.
Understanding Lower Blepharoplasty: Transformative Under Eye Bag Removal
Facial aging often starts in the lower eyelids, prompting noticeable changes. Salt Lake City lower blepharoplasty, or under eye bag removal, rejuvenates this area, emphasizing a natural and youthful appearance. Dr. Eftekhari’s expertise ensures optimal results while avoiding long-term consequences.
Discover Your Candidacy for Lower Eyelid Surgery
The delicate and sensitive skin of the lower eyelids tends to age more noticeably, influenced by Utah’s high altitude and consistent sunshine. Outdoor exposure contributes to wrinkles and under-eye bags. If you experience excess lower eyelid skin and puffy bags, explore Salt Lake City eye bag treatment and lower blepharoplasty. Patients often seek Dr. Eftekhari for a more “awake” and “refreshed” appearance.
Delicate Procedures for Rejuvenated Eyes
Dr. Eftekhari, a board-certified eyelid specialist, employs precise techniques for Salt Lake City lower blepharoplasty. Incision options include below the lower lid eyelashes (subciliary) or behind the lower eyelid on the pink tissue (conjunctiva). The scarless transconjunctival blepharoplasty, Dr. Eftekhari’s preference, accesses lower eyelid fatty tissues without visible scarring. Procedures may involve excess skin removal and a midface lift for enhanced aesthetic results.
Enhancing Results with Fat Grafting
Salt Lake City fat grafting complements lower blepharoplasty for significant volume loss. Dr. Eftekhari strategically rejuvenates areas prone to volume loss, using fat cells from around the belly button. Stem cells within the fat contribute to a more comprehensive and natural-looking outcome.
Precision in Fat Management
Dr. Eftekhari prioritizes meticulous fat management in upper and lower eyelids, focusing on the area under the eyes. Rather than excessive fat removal, he may reposition fat into the tear trough hollow, preserving a natural appearance. Individualized treatment plans may include additional fat transfer to the cheek. Incisions are strategically placed inside the eyelid to minimize visible scarring.
Exploring the Nuances: Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty encompasses procedures for upper and lower eyelids, aiming to reduce the tired, angry, or sad appearance associated with aging. While combined surgeries are common, lower blepharoplasty specifically addresses under-eye bags, excess fat, weakened ligaments, and sagging skin, delivering a refreshed and youthful look.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Under Eye Bag Removal — Lower Blepharoplasty
For select clients, Dr. Eftekhari offers a non-surgical approach to address dark circles under the eyes using fillers made from hyaluronic acid gel. Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our bodies, acts as a lubricant within the extracellular matrix. Filler products such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Versa, and Voluma are used, with cross-linked particles to enhance viscosity and longevity. Dr. Eftekhari, with extensive experience, administers filler treatments around the eyelids.
Certain filler products are more suitable for the delicate eye area, a topic Dr. Eftekhari discusses during your appointment. Dr. Eftekhari personally performs all filler injections, exercising caution due to its suitability for specific candidates, non-permanent nature (absorbed after a year), and the risk of poor administration causing unwanted side effects. While filler can address certain dark circles, individuals with excess under-eye fat or wrinkled skin may find lower blepharoplasty to be a better and longer-lasting option, delivering a more natural appearance.
Procedures aiming for aesthetic rejuvenation of the under-eye area, including under eye bag removal, are typically not covered by insurance. However, patients experiencing a droopy lower eyelid or malposition like ectropion or retraction causing severe eye dryness may sometimes undergo lower eyelid tightening as a medical procedure.
After undergoing lower blepharoplasty at our Salt Lake City clinic, you'll receive instructions for ice packs and eye ointment to manage swelling and bruising. Over-the-counter pain medication is acceptable. Stitches dissolve on their own, and bruising peaks around 48 hours post-surgery. Variable swelling may persist for 1-4 weeks, with full results becoming apparent over the next few weeks. Most patients can return to work after three days.
Swelling may initially conceal results, but changes become noticeable almost immediately after the bruising and swelling subside. Beyond the recovery period, patients are often amazed at the heightened alertness and rejuvenation of their appearance. Many individuals feel that eyelid surgery, whether upper or lower, takes about a decade off their facial age.
Lower eyelid surgery is not lengthy, typically taking 30-45 minutes per side.
LASIK and PRK surgeries, focusing on corneal shape correction, do not impact the eyelids. Patients who have undergone LASIK or PRK can undergo blepharoplasty. Dr. Eftekhari recommends waiting three months post-LASIK/PRK to ensure corneal health before proceeding with this eyelid procedure.
