Can Eyelids Be Lifted During A Browlift?
Request ConsultationIf you’ve noticed puffiness, under-eye bags, or a tired appearance that doesn’t match how you feel, lower blepharoplasty could be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Gilpin Facial Plastics + Aesthetics in Nashville, we specialize in helping you look refreshed and vibrant, never overdone. Lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, is a highly effective procedure that smooths and rejuvenates the area beneath your eyes, restoring a more youthful, well-rested appearance.
What is Lower Blepharoplasty?
Lower blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the under-eye area by removing or repositioning fat pads and tightening loose skin or muscle. Over time, the tissues beneath the eyes can become puffy or saggy due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors, which can create the appearance of bags or shadows under the eyes. By addressing these concerns, lower blepharoplasty can dramatically improve facial harmony and help you feel more confident in your appearance.
Ideal Candidates for Lower Blepharoplasty
You may be a great candidate for lower eyelid blepharoplasty if you’re bothered by persistent under-eye bags, puffiness, or wrinkling that doesn’t improve with skincare or non-surgical treatments. Most patients are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results. This procedure is often chosen by both men and women who want to look more rested and youthful, especially when under-eye concerns make them appear tired or older than they feel.
During your consultation with Dr. Gilpin, he’ll take the time to understand your goals and assess whether lower eyelid surgery is right for you.

We’ll provide clear instructions to help you prepare for surgery, which may include avoiding blood-thinning medications, adjusting certain supplements, and arranging for a friend or family member to assist you after the procedure. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, confident, and comfortable every step of the way.
The Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure
Dr. Gilpin performs lower blepharoplasty with a refined, detail-oriented approach that highlights both precision and natural-looking results. The surgery is typically performed using sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your needs and preferences.
During the procedure, Dr. Gilpin makes a small, discreet incision, usually just beneath the lash line or inside the lower eyelid, so that any visible scarring is minimal. Through this incision, he carefully removes or repositions eyelid fat to eliminate puffiness and may also tighten eyelid skin or muscle if needed. The result is a smoother, more youthful contour under the eyes that enhances your overall facial appearance.
