A targeted rejuvenation
There are a variety of reasons individuals seek rejuvenation of the lower lids and cheeks. Problems here are one of the most common reasons patients seek Dr. Steffen’s assistance.
Technique
During a lower blepharoplasty, a stealth incision is made on or within the lower eyelid. Through this minimally invasive approach, the transition between the lower eye and the cheek can be smoothed and contoured. Small grafts are used to erase dark circles under the eyes as well as the “tear trough deformity.”
The eyelid is repositioned to its pleasing natural location and the cheek is lifted to bring back the natural fullness of the upper cheek. Patients look smoother, fuller, and more alert — younger, and more importantly, looking their best.
Coverage
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons considers lower blepharoplasty a cosmetic procedure and it is not covered by insurance.
