👁️ Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty in Bangkok, Thailand — By Dr. Jaray Krainam, MD
Overview of the Surgery
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, also known as Lower Eye Bag Removal Surgery, is a delicate procedure designed to rejuvenate the lower eyelid area by removing or repositioning excess fat, tightening loose skin, and smoothing wrinkles.
Performed at Dr. Jaray Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Bangkok by Dr. Jaray Krainam, MD, a board-certified plastic and aesthetic surgeon with over 20 years of global experience, this surgery restores a refreshed, youthful, and naturally rested appearance — without changing the patient’s unique facial expression.
Lower eyelid surgery is ideal for those who experience puffiness, sagging skin, dark circles, or tired-looking eyes caused by aging, genetics, or stress.
🩺 Preparation Before Surgery
Before undergoing Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, patients go through a detailed evaluation to ensure safety and optimal results.
Preparation includes:
- Comprehensive consultation and digital imaging to assess eyelid structure and determine the best technique (transconjunctival or external incision).
- Medical examination and blood tests to evaluate general health.
- Preoperative instructions, including avoiding smoking, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications for at least 2 weeks.
- Hydration and rest are encouraged before surgery for faster recovery.
- Photography for before-and-after documentation and precise surgical planning.
International patients receive complete guidance for pre-travel and post-surgery arrangements.
🔪 Surgical Procedure
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
There are two main techniques used, depending on the patient’s needs:
- Transconjunctival Technique:
- Suitable for patients with excess fat but minimal skin laxity.
- The incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scar.
- Fat deposits are carefully removed or repositioned for a smoother, youthful contour.
- Subciliary (External) Technique:
- Recommended for patients with excess skin and fat.
- A fine incision is made just below the lash line, allowing removal of excess skin and tightening of the lower eyelid.
- The incision heals beautifully and becomes nearly invisible over time.
Dr. Jaray’s technique emphasizes symmetry, precision, and natural rejuvenation — never over-correcting, ensuring the patient retains a soft and natural expression.
💆 Post-Operative Care
After surgery, patients typically rest at the clinic before being discharged the same day.
Postoperative care includes:
- Cold compresses for 48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
- Head elevation while sleeping for 1 week.
- Avoid makeup, contact lenses, and strenuous activities for 10–14 days.
- Suture removal after 5–7 days (if applicable).
- Eye drops or ointment may be prescribed to prevent dryness or irritation.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 7–10 days, with final results visible in 3–6 weeks as swelling subsides and the skin adjusts naturally.
⚠️ Possible Risks and Complications
While the procedure is safe in experienced hands, some potential (and rare) risks include:
- Mild bruising or swelling
- Temporary dryness or tightness in the eyes
- Minimal asymmetry (correctable)
- Infection or delayed healing (rare)
- Minor scarring (typically fades within months)
Dr. Jaray’s advanced surgical approach minimizes risks, ensuring optimal healing and beautiful, long-lasting results.
