Bye-Bye Bags
Many women and men of all ages and backgrounds deal with bags under the eyes. This can create an older-looking, tired, or puffy appearance. If you suffer from this condition, you may have tried a wide variety of drugstore serums and creams or even professional topical treatments to improve your under eye appearance. For many people, these methods simply do not solve the problem to their satisfaction, and they might seek a more effective and permanent solution. At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Pittsburgh Lower Blepharoplasty is a commonly used surgical treatment that lessens or eliminates not just bags under the eyes but can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tear troughs, and dark circles. Dr. Marc Liang and his experienced team are excited to start you on your journey toward a more vibrant, alert, youthful eye look.

Lower lid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves little to no visible scarring and works to delicately adjust the skin, tissue, and tiny pockets of fat in the under eye area. This results in the reduction of unwanted aesthetic issues such as bags and puffiness.
Wake Up And Enjoy The Rejuvenation

Artistry Meets Science
Skilled in both artistic vision and technical skill, Dr. Liang strives for the best possible aesthetic results for his patients along with outstanding patient care. At your procedure, Dr. Liang will ensure you are comfortable and fully informed about the surgery and what to expect in recovery. Lower blepharoplasty may be performed with either local anesthesia plus sedation or general anesthesia and usually takes only about 30 minutes to one hour. Dr. Liang will start by making an incision either inside the lower eyelid or just along the lower lash line, and then he’ll make adjustments to the skin, fat, and tissue in the area to eliminate bags and address any other concerns. Then, sutures will be delicately placed and the patient will spend a short time in recovery.
After this procedure, recovery is usually mild and only lasts around seven to ten days. Patients can expect to see some minor bruising or swelling, but these should gradually resolve on their own. We will recommend that patients regularly use cold compresses to aid in comfort and healing and sleep with the head slightly elevated for about a week. Most patients see final results after lower blepharoplasty around four to six weeks once all residual swelling has subsided.

Recovery from this procedure is typically very mild, and patients do not report significant pain or discomfort during the healing process.
Since the adjustments made to facial tissue during this procedure are surgical, they are considered permanent. However, it will not prevent further aging, so results could be affected in the future.
Minor risks could include swelling, bruising, or eye irritation, but serious risks are rare, especially when performed by an experienced professional.
Definitely! Our team commonly combines these procedures with other cosmetic techniques for a refined and comprehensive result and the advantage of a single recovery period.
The cost of lower blepharoplasty ranges, on average in the US, between about $3,000 to $10,000, but this varies depending on several factors, including location, surgical fees, and facility costs.
