Rejuvenate your appearance with a lower eyelid lift at Michigan Oculoplastic Specialists. This cosmetic surgical procedure, known as lower blepharoplasty, expertly addresses lower-eyelid puffiness and drooping. Performed alone or alongside other facial enhancements like an upper eyelid lift or forehead lift, our board-certified surgeons, Drs. Lawrence Handler, William Ehrlich, and Zachary Pearce, leverage innovative techniques to achieve your aesthetic vision.
What Is a Lower Eyelid Lift?
A lower eyelid lift combats the signs of aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations by removing excess skin and fat and, in most cases, tightening the muscles beneath. Over time, as skin elasticity diminishes and facial fat volume decreases, eyelids can appear wrinkled, puffy, and saggy. Our procedure not only revitalizes your lower eyelids but also helps you look as vibrant and energetic as you feel.
Benefits of a Lower Eyelid Lift
A lower eyelid lift offers numerous aesthetic benefits. This procedure can:
- Reduce puffiness and under-eye bags.
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
- Eliminate excess skin for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Boost self-confidence by enhancing your overall facial harmony.
Ideal Candidates for a Lower Eyelid Lift
The ideal candidate for a lower eyelid lift is a healthy individual looking to achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Those considering this procedure should have realistic expectations and be committed to following post-surgical care instructions.
However, this surgery may not be suitable for individuals with medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or severe dry eye syndrome. Those unable to follow recovery guidelines or expecting unrealistic results may also not be considered.

Understanding the Lower Eyelid Lift Procedure
Drs. Handler, Ehrlich, and Pearce tailor the lower eyelid lift technique to each patient’s unique needs, employing various approaches to remove or adjust excess skin and fat. Depending on your specific case, incisions may be made along the lash line or inside the lower lid for minimal visibility. The goal is a smoother, even lower eyelid appearance, achieved with the utmost care and precision.
Recovery After Lower Blepharoplasty
This outpatient procedure allows you to return home the same day, with aftercare instructions provided for a smooth recovery. It is critical to follow these guidelines closely to promote healing and achieve the best results. Our team is committed to supporting you every step of the way.
