Cutaneous Lower Blepharoplasty in Cape Town: Rejuvenating the Under-Eye Area

Cutaneous lower blepharoplasty is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reduce excess skin and fine wrinkles beneath the eyes, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance. At ALCHIMIA CLINIC, this advanced eyelid surgery effectively addresses sagging skin and puffiness, helping patients achieve a refreshed, well-rested look.

What is Cutaneous Lower Blepharoplasty?

With age, the skin under the eyes loses elasticity, leading to wrinkles, under-eye bags, and a fatigued appearance. Cutaneous lower blepharoplasty targets these concerns by removing or tightening excess skin, often combined with fat repositioning or removal to smooth out puffiness. The result is firmer, more youthful-looking under-eyes that enhance overall facial harmony.

Why Choose Cutaneous Lower Blepharoplasty?

Patients opt for lower blepharoplasty for several reasons:

Aesthetic Enhancement: Reduces sagging skin, fine lines, and under-eye wrinkles.
Youthful Rejuvenation: Creates a firmer, smoother under-eye contour for a refreshed look.
Improved Confidence: A more alert and vibrant appearance enhances self-esteem.

The Procedure

At ALCHIMIA CLINIC, our experienced surgeons perform cutaneous lower blepharoplasty with precision and care. The procedure typically involves:

Incision Placement: A discreet incision just below the lash line to minimize visible scarring.
Tissue Adjustment: Removal or tightening of excess skin, with fat repositioning if necessary to smooth contours.
Closure: The incision is carefully sutured, blending naturally with the skin for a seamless result.

This surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising, which subside within 1-2 weeks. Following post-operative care guidelines is essential for a smooth recovery.

Before and After Transformation: Significant improvements in under-eye smoothness and firmness.
Recovery Timeline: Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days, with full results visible over the following months.
Long-Lasting Results: Patients enjoy a rejuvenated appearance that lasts for years.

As with any surgical procedure, risks include temporary swelling, bruising, or minor scarring. Choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon at ALCHIMIA CLINIC minimizes these risks and ensures optimal results.
