Ever caught your reflection and wondered why you look so tired or down, even after a solid night’s sleep? You’re not alone. I'm Dr. Jason Hall, and this week on The Trillium Show, we're diving into the world of lower lid blepharoplasty—often just called lower eyelid lifts. We’ll explore how this procedure can help lift those droopy, sad puppy dog eyes and give you a fresher, more vibrant look. But it’s not a cure-all—I’ll break down the realistic outcomes, from what it can do to refresh your appearance to the limitations you should be aware of, like not being able to remove all wrinkles or dark circles.

We'll also get into the nitty-gritty of modern techniques like fat grafting, the recovery process, and potential complications such as chemosis and eyelid malposition. Plus, I’ll share crucial pre-surgery considerations you need to think about, like under-eye fillers and managing dry eyes. Tune in to get a clear picture of what lower eyelid surgery can (and can’t) do for you, so you can make an informed decision about whether it’s the right move for your beauty goals.
