Las Vegas Lower Eyelid Surgery

Puffiness, dark circles, and sagging under the eyes can add years to your appearance—making you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel.

A More Rested Look with Lower Eyelid Surgery

The lower eyelids are often one of the first areas where aging becomes visible. As skin loses elasticity and fat shifts, the result can be under-eye bags, fine lines, and a hollowed or shadowed appearance. Lower blepharoplasty gently corrects these issues, helping you look brighter, more awake, and more youthful—without altering your natural expression.

Benefits of Lower Blepharoplasty

At our Las Vegas clinic, lower eyelid surgery is customized to correct a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:

Puffy or prominent under-eye bags
Loose or sagging skin beneath the eyes
Fine lines and crepey texture
Hollowing or deep tear troughs
Downturned or drooping lower eyelids

Whether you're looking to address age-related changes or hereditary puffiness, this procedure delivers subtle yet powerful rejuvenation.

How the Procedure Is Performed

Dr. Kahng performs lower eyelid surgery at our AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Las Vegas, using local anesthesia with optional sedation to ensure comfort. The technique used depends on your skin quality, fat volume, and overall eye anatomy.

Surgical Approaches

External approach: A fine incision is made just below the lash line to remove or reposition fat, tighten muscle, and trim excess skin.
Transconjunctival (scarless) approach: Ideal for patients with puffiness but no loose skin. The incision is made inside the lower lid, leaving no visible scar and preserving eyelid shape.

For enhanced results, laser resurfacing or a chemical peel may also be performed to refine skin texture and reduce discoloration.

Recovery Timeline

Most patients in Las Vegas find recovery from lower eyelid surgery to be straightforward and relatively quick:

7–10 days of initial recovery and downtime
Bruising and swelling typically resolve within 2 weeks
Avoid contact lenses for 2 weeks post-op
Resume light activity after 2–3 weeks
Final results continue to refine over 1–3 months

Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses as directed will help minimize swelling and speed up healing.
