Dr. Ben is amazing! He takes his time to get to know me and my needs. He explains the difference between products and what will be the best fit for me.

“Lower eyelid surgery requires both surgical precision and artistic vision. The goal is to eliminate bags and restore smooth contours while preserving the natural architecture that protects the eye. When done properly, patients look naturally refreshed, not surgically altered.” — Dr. Benjamin Eskenazi
Understanding Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery, medically known as lower blepharoplasty, addresses multiple signs of aging in the lower eyelid area including protruding fat pads, excess skin, muscle laxity, and tear trough deformities. This comprehensive procedure can be performed through various approaches to achieve optimal results while preserving eyelid function.
The surgical technique may involve transconjunctival (inside the eyelid) or transcutaneous (external) approaches, depending on individual anatomy and correction needs. Dr. Eskenazi may remove or reposition fat, tighten skin, and address muscle concerns to create smooth, youthful lower eyelid contours that enhance overall facial appearance.


Primary Concerns Addressed Through Lower Blepharoplasty
Patients seek lower eyelid surgery to correct specific aging changes that affect their overall facial appearance and confidence:

Tear Trough Improvement
