How does a neck lift improve the appearance of the neck?

A neck lift enhances the contours of the neck by addressing saggy skin, tightening underlying structures and improving overall definition. This helps create a smoother, more youthful neckline, particularly for those experiencing signs of ageing or skin laxity.

Can a neck lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, a neck lift is often performed alongside a face lift to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. Combining these procedures can enhance overall facial balance by addressing sagging in both the lower face and neck for a more harmonious result.

Will a neck lift help with a double chin?

A neck lift can significantly improve the appearance of a double chin by tightening neck skin and, if necessary, removing pockets of excess fat. In some cases, additional treatments such as liposuction may be recommended to further refine the jawline.

Can weight loss reduce the need for a neck lift?

While losing weight can help reduce excess fat in the neck area, it often results in saggy skin that does not contract fully. A neck lift can remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles to restore definition.

How long do the results of a neck lift last?

The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, though natural ageing will continue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the outcome of the cosmetic procedure, keeping the neck firm and youthful for many years.

RealSelf Patient Reviews of Aftab Siddiqui, FRCS(Plast)

Refreshed, Natural-Looking
Peri-Orbital Rejuvenation

As the skin around the eyes ages, lower eyelids can become puffy or develop noticeable dark circles, creating a tired or aged look. This change often results from excess fat shifting forward, causing under-eye bags, or from a loss of volume, leading to a hollow appearance. Lower blepharoplasty is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to address these concerns by smoothing and reshaping the area beneath the eyes.

At The Hanson Clinic, we specialise in lower eyelid surgery, helping patients achieve a natural and refreshed appearance while maintaining harmony with the upper and lower eyelids. Our approach ensures that any adjustments made to the lower eyelids blend seamlessly with the rest of the face for balanced results.

What is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that targets puffiness, loose skin, and under-eye bags. As eyelids stretch over time, fat can shift, leading to excess fat deposits beneath the eyes. This can cause swelling, uneven contours, or deep tear troughs. Lower eyelid surgery works to remove excess skin, reposition fat, and refine the overall shape of the lower eyelids for a more refreshed appearance.

What Can Lower Blepharoplasty Treat?

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is designed to address:

Under-eye bags caused by shifting fat pockets
Excess skin leading to wrinkles and sagging beneath the eyes
Puffiness and swelling that create a tired appearance
Dark circles caused by shadows or volume loss

For patients with sagging eyebrows or concerns affecting both the upper and lower eyelids, additional treatments may be considered.

What Are the Benefits of Lower Blepharoplasty?

Many patients who undergo lower eyelid surgery experience:

A smoother and more defined under-eye area
Reduced puffiness and a brighter appearance
A more youthful but natural look
An improved contour of the lower eyelids

For those with severely sagging skin in the upper eyelids, upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be combined with lower blepharoplasty for balanced results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Lower Blepharoplasty?

You may be suitable for lower eyelid surgery if:

You have excess fat or persistent under-eye bags
You experience excess skin leading to wrinkles or sagging under the eyes
You have dark circles that do not improve with skincare
You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

Request Appointment*

Consultation

During your consultation, Mr Richard Hanson will assess the structure of your lower eyelids and discuss your concerns. Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient to achieve subtle yet effective results that complement facial features.

Surgery

Surgery is performed with attention to detail, ensuring a refreshed and natural outcome. Some patients may benefit from combining lower blepharoplasty with other facial procedures, such as upper blepharoplasty, to achieve optimal balance.

Results

Once swelling and bruising subside, the final results become more apparent. The under-eye area appears smoother, and continued improvements develop over the following months.

Recovery

Recovery varies between patients, but most can expect some swelling and bruising, which typically peak within the first few days before gradually subsiding. Light activities can usually be resumed within 7 to 14 days, while full results develop progressively. To aid recovery, cold compresses and keeping the head elevated can help reduce swelling and bruising in the early healing phase.

FAQ

How does lower blepharoplasty differ from upper eyelid surgery?

Lower blepharoplasty focuses on under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin beneath the eyes, while upper eyelid surgery targets sagging in the upper lids that may cause hooding or obstruct vision. Some patients choose to combine both procedures for comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation.

Is blepharoplasty eyelid surgery permanent?

While blepharoplasty eyelid surgery provides long-lasting results, the natural ageing process will continue. However, most patients enjoy the benefits for many years before any significant changes occur. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting the skin from sun damage can help prolong results.

Is lower blepharoplasty considered an eyelid lift?

While lower blepharoplasty improves puffiness and sagging beneath the eyes, an eyelid lift is a general term that can refer to both upper and lower eyelid surgery. If a patient has droopy upper lids, an upper eyelid lift may be recommended alongside lower blepharoplasty for balanced results.

What are the side effects of lower blepharoplasty?

Common side effects include numb eyelids, swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness. These effects usually subside within a few weeks. Rare complications may include infection or asymmetry, which can be minimised with proper post-operative care.
