What is Droopy Lower Eyelid Surgery?
Droopy Lower Eyelid Surgery, also known as Lower Eyelid Slack Removal, is a procedure performed on the lower eyelid to remove excess skin that causes the eyes to look tired all the time. After the procedure, the eyes will look refreshed, adding youthfulness to the beautiful eyes.
How It Works
Droopy Lower Eyelid Surgery works by making an incision on the lower eyelid, a few millimeters below the eye to avoid visible scars, excess skin will be removed and small sutures will be done to close the wound. The procedure is not suitable for the ones with noticeable dents under the eyes, an alternative treatment method will be recommended.

FAQ
Q1: Can I continue wearing contact lens and glasses after the procedure?
A1: On the day of the treatment, please bring your glasses or sunglasses to avoid irritating the eyes. You can only continue wearing your contact lens after your eyelid has healed, that is when it feels comfortable and can close well. Generally, you can start wearing lenses again about 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.
Q2: Will there be any effects on my vision?
A2: The surgery does affect your vision, but it may cause eye dryness since the eyes may not close fully during the recovery period. Please use the lubricating ointment when necessary and follow the doctor's post-care tips to get faster healing.
Q3: Will the swelling after the surgery affect my daily life?
A3: Swelling and internal bleeding may happen for about a week, and then they will gradually subside. Please take plenty of rest during recovery.
