Smooth, refresh, and restore the eyes with a subtle lift that erases fatigue and enhances youthfulness.

Say Goodbye to Under-Eye Bags, Puffiness, and Hollowing

If your eyes make you look more tired, aged, or stressed than you feel, you’re not alone. The lower eyelids are often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, whether it's puffiness, sagging skin, or dark circles caused by volume loss and fat descent. Lower eyelid surgery offers a precise and permanent solution, restoring a smoother, brighter appearance without changing your natural expression. At Canadian Plastic Surgery Centre, this procedure is performed by a facial plastic surgeon with subspecialty training, ensuring every result is artful, balanced, and highly individualized.

What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes or repositions fat, tightens skin, and refines the contour of the area beneath the eyes. It’s commonly used to treat:

Under-eye bags or puffiness
Hollowing or shadowing
Wrinkling beneath the lash line
Loose, crepey skin

Depending on your anatomy, the procedure can be performed through a transconjunctival approach (inside the lower lid, leaving no visible scar) or with a small external incision hidden along the lash line. Sometimes, it may be paired with fat grafting, laser skin resurfacing, or an upper eyelid lift for a more comprehensive result.

The Benefits of Lower Eyelid Surgery

Removes under-eye bags and puffiness: This procedure eliminates the bulging fat pads contributing to a swollen, tired appearance.
Smooths and tightens the lower lid area: Lower eyelid surgery softens wrinkles and firms sagging skin beneath the eyes by removing or repositioning tissue.
Brightens and opens the eyes: The refreshed contour reflects more light and creates a more alert, youthful appearance.
Improves makeup application and skin texture: Patients often find their concealer applies more evenly and creases less after surgery.
Delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results: With carefully planned corrections, the under-eye area looks more rested and balanced for years.

Is Lower Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery if you:

Are bothered by persistent puffiness, bags, or hollows under the eyes
Feel your eyes make you look tired or older than you are
Have tried topical products or fillers with limited success
Are in good health and seeking a long-term, surgical solution

During your consultation with Dr. Basil Hassouneh, our facial plastic surgeon, you'll receive a detailed evaluation and treatment plan. He’ll assess skin quality, fat volume, and eyelid structure to ensure the approach enhances your eyes while preserving their natural character.

The Surgical Process What to Expect

Consultation with Dr. Hassouneh

You’ll meet with our facial surgery specialist to review your goals, evaluate your lower eyelid anatomy, and determine the best surgical plan.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

We’ll provide guidance for lab work, medications, and how to prepare for your procedure and recovery.

Surgery at Our Toronto Facility

Lower eyelid surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. The procedure may involve fat repositioning, skin tightening, or both. Incisions are placed inside the lid or along the lash line for minimal visibility.

Immediate Post-Op Care

After surgery, our team will monitor you and send you home with detailed instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Lower Eyelid Surgery Recovery & Results

Initial healing involves 1–2 weeks of downtime, with swelling and bruising that typically peak around days 3–4 and resolve by week two. Cold compresses and head elevation are important in the early days. Sutures are removed (if used externally) within a week, and makeup can usually be worn after 10–14 days.

The final results continue to refine over 6–12 weeks, revealing a smoother, more rested under-eye area with no visible signs of surgery. Many patients describe the result as “looking like themselves again”—just fresher, more awake, and less worn down.

Lower Eyelid Surgery FAQ

Will I look different after lower eyelid surgery?

You’ll look refreshed, not unrecognizably different. The goal is to improve under-eye contour without altering your natural expressions or eye shape.

Is there a visible scar?

In many cases, incisions are hidden inside the lower lid (transconjunctival). If external incisions are used, they’re placed along the lash line and typically fade very well.

How long do results last?

Lower blepharoplasty results are long-lasting. While natural aging continues, the removed or repositioned fat does not return.

Can this be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It’s often paired with upper eyelid surgery, laser resurfacing, or facial fat transfer for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
