Blepharoplasty is a form of eyelid surgery whereby eyelid “bags” are removed.This can include upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or both upper and lower eyelid blepahroplasty (four lid blepharoplasty).In a subset of lower eyelid blepharoplasty patients eyelid fat can be preserved, rather then excised.The fat bags are still removed from where they are excessive (BAGS), but the fat rather transferred or repositioned to areas of adjacent eyelid hollows or depressions.
This is called lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning
This is an advanced form of lower eyelid blepharoplasty, performed only by eyelid surgery specialists (experts).
Below is an example of a woman who presented with lower lid bags and an associated depression (tear trough).Dr. Massry performed lower lid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning on her to reduce the eyelid bags and the hollow.On the right is her after picture.
