Ideal candidates for lower lid blepharoplasty are both men and women who want to address concerns related to the appearance of their under eye area.

Lower blepharoplasty targets a range of concerns that can make the under-eye area look tired or aged. By addressing these issues with precision and care, Dr. Locketz helps patients achieve a refreshed and revitalized appearance. Common concerns treated with lower blepharoplasty include:
During your consultation, Dr. Locketz will listen to your concerns, understand your aesthetic goals, and thoroughly assess your facial anatomy. This collaborative process will ensure your treatment plan is tailored to your needs.
Dr. Locketz makes a point to educate you about your procedure in detail, including the surgical techniques, recovery process, and expected results. For patients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, he may recommend combining lower blepharoplasty with other procedures, such as upper eyelid surgery, a facelift, or fat transfer, for a harmonious, blended outcome.
Depending on your needs, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, allowing for a relaxed and comfortable experience.
During the surgery, Dr. Locketz will make precise incisions either inside the lower eyelid or along the lash line to minimize visible scarring. Excess fat is carefully repositioned or removed to reduce puffiness, while advanced techniques such as fat grafting may be employed to restore volume and smooth hollow areas. The process typically takes one to two hours, blending technical precision with an artistic approach to ensure natural, balanced results that enhance your facial harmony.
Once the procedure is complete, the incisions are discreetly closed, and personalized aftercare instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery. Dr. Locketz and his team are dedicated to delivering exceptional care at every stage, helping you achieve a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance with confidence and ease.
Over about two to four weeks after the procedure, residual swelling continues to fade, revealing smoother, firmer contours. By around four to six weeks, final results are more apparent, and optimal results are typically achieved by six months with often long-lasting or permanent outcomes.
Recovery from lower blepharoplasty is typically smooth and manageable. Mild swelling and bruising are common for the first seven to ten days, but most patients feel comfortable returning to work and daily activities within a week. Cold compresses and head elevation can help reduce swelling, while following Dr. Locketz’s post-operative instructions will ensure optimal healing.
The transformation unfolds gradually over a few weeks as residual swelling subsides, revealing smoother, firmer contours under the eyes. By six weeks, most patients notice a significant improvement; final results are typically achieved by six months. These long-lasting outcomes allow you to enjoy a more youthful and refreshed appearance for years to come.
