ABSTRACT

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a popular aesthetic surgery that restores the youthful appearance of the lower eyelid
by excising redundant skin and removing prolapsed fat. However, complications may occur, and various
techniques have been developed to improve outcomes and prevent complications. The periorbital region has seen
exponential growth in aesthetic procedures, making it the most commonly treated area. Conventional techniques
for lower eyelid rejuvenation are discussed, with focus on surgical options as they yield permanent results. Nonsurgical
techniques are generally considered inferior to surgical procedures and not elaborated upon. Laser
blepharoplasty is a modern adaptation of traditional blepharoplasty that utilizes laser technology to improve
efficacy while reducing complications and recovery times. The efficacy assessment of laser and conventional
methods in lower eyelid rejuvenation focuses on treatment outcomes from practitioners versus cohorts using
similar techniques. Understanding these risks is important for obtaining informed consent from patients and
planning appropriate pre-operative discussions. Future directions and emerging technologies are essential in lower
eyelid rejuvenation, with advanced laser technologies becoming prominent and post-treatment care innovations
being critical. Aesthetic practitioners must keep pace with these advancements while ensuring that techniques and
protocols are well-understood and optimized for patient care.
