Lower Eyelid Lift
Smooth Away Under-Eye Bags and Refresh Your Look
Lower Eyelid Lift Surgery in Altrincham
The delicate skin beneath your eyes is one of the first areas to show signs of ageing.
Puffiness, bags, and loose skin can make you appear tired even when you feel rested.
At Bollin Clinic, our Lower Eyelid Lift (Lower Blepharoplasty) offers a safe, effective way
to restore a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance to the under-eye area.
What Is a Lower Eyelid Lift?
A Lower Eyelid Lift, also known as Lower Blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess fat, skin, and sometimes muscle beneath the eyes. This treatment addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and fine lines, helping to rejuvenate your overall appearance.
Our surgeons at Bollin Clinic use refined, modern techniques including transconjunctival (internal) and transcutaneous (external) approaches to achieve natural, balanced results with minimal downtime.
Who Is the Procedure For?
You may be an ideal candidate for a Lower Eyelid Lift if you:- Have puffiness, bags, or dark shadows under the eyes
- Notice sagging or wrinkled skin beneath the eyelids
- Appear tired or aged even when well-rested
- Have good skin elasticity and overall health
- Want natural-looking rejuvenation without drastic changes
The Procedure
At Bollin Clinic, the lower eyelid lift is tailored to your anatomy and desired results. The technique used will depend on the amount of excess skin and fat, as well as the shape of your eyes.Typical steps include:
- Anaesthesia - The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia for comfort.
- Incision -
- Transconjunctival approach: The incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no external scar.
- Transcutaneous approach: The incision is made just below the lash line, allowing skin tightening if needed.
- Correction - Fat is gently repositioned or removed, and any loose skin is tightened
- Closure - Fine sutures are placed to ensure smooth healing and minimal scarring.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a lower eyelid lift is generally straightforward:- Mild swelling and bruising can occur for 7–10 days.
- Most patients return to work and normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
- Stitches are removed after about 5 days (if external incisions are used).
- Results appear as swelling subsides, revealing smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking under-eyes.

Frequently asked questions
Is the lower eyelid lift painful?
No. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, and most patients report only mild discomfort afterwards, managed easily with simple pain relief.
How long does recovery take?
Most swelling and bruising resolve within 1–2 weeks. You can usually return to normal daily activities within 10 days.
Will there be visible scars?
Not necessarily, the incision is often made inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival), leaving no visible scarring.
How long do results last?
Results typically last for many years. While natural ageing continues, you’ll enjoy a lasting improvement in your under-eye area.
Can the procedure remove dark circles?
If dark circles are caused by shadowing from under-eye bags, a lower eyelid lift can significantly reduce their appearance.
