Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery is often the long-awaited solution for those who believe that looking older is not welcome in most people's social lives. If you are "starting over" or getting back into the dating scene, it's common to become extra self-conscious about your looks and the age-related changes you see. Major life events such as weddings may motivate you to seek lower eyelid surgery to finally have the appearance you see in your mind's eye be reflected in your mirror. The only way to defy the physics of aging and to eliminate the sagging, billowing and festooning bulges around the eyes is cosmetic surgery. Dr. Prasad has over 15 years of experience with performing blepharoplasties (upper and lower eyelid lifts) and frequently gets consults from doctors to repair other surgeons' work. 
Causes of Puffiness and Bagging Requiring Lower Eye Lifts Puffy and baggy lower eyelids can make you look much older than your actual age. Lower eye lifts combat the fatigued and worn out expression that prompts others to suggest that you need a vacation or a good night's sleep. The problem arises when the membrane under the lid becomes weaker with age and allows the fatty protective tissue around the eye to bulge forward. This pressure on the skin and muscles of the lower eyelid stretches them and causes noticeable puffiness or bags to form under the eyes. Unfortunately, this type of bulging can be inherited as well and can start as early as young adolescence for some people. The fatty tissue also holds water so when you wake up in the morning after reclining all night long, your eyelids may be at their puffiest. Over the day, the fluid will drain away by gravity. However, this added pressure can worsen the situation that has already begun with aging. As you can see, the problem with a weak membrane inside of the eyelid will never be healed by any topical cream or lotion. They may make the skin look smoother, but the underlying cause of puffiness needs to be treated at its source. - What is Involved in Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
In Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery procedures, fatty tissue is removed often using a transconjunctival approach. This means that the surgery is performed through the inside part of the eyelid so that no external visible scar is created. If excessive skin or muscle folds are found below the eye, an incision may also be made just below the base of the lashes. As this incision heals, the fine scar should also become barely visible. Upper and lower eyelid surgeries are performed under local anesthesia and sometimes with some light sedation in our state-of-the-art office suites. For this reason, the downtime after the surgery is minimal. Bags Under Eyes - Woman This 37 year old Indian woman was frustrated by her attempts to cover up her bags with under eye concealer.
