Lower Blepharoplasty in Wilmington, NC

Lower blepharoplasty, commonly known as lower eyelid surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lower eyelids by addressing issues such as puffiness, dark circles, and excess skin. 

A lower bleph can also be combined with upper eyelid surgery for those concerned by hooded, tired-looking eyes. 

As we age and in some cases earlier in life due to genetics, the delicate skin around the eyes may lose elasticity, leading to bags under the eyes and a fatigued appearance. 

At Amelia Aesthetics in Wilmington, NC, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Azzolini specializes in lower blepharoplasty to help you achieve a more refreshed and youthful look.

During the procedure, incisions are typically made just below the lower lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach), which allows for minimal scarring. 

Dr. Azzolini removes excess fat, skin, and muscle to create a smoother contour and reduce the appearance of bags. This technique not only improves aesthetic appearance but can also enhance the overall function of the eyelids.

Many patients can return to their regular activities within one to two weeks, with the full results becoming evident as the healing process continues.
