Addressing Under-Eye Puffiness and Fatigue

The lower eyelids can develop puffiness, bags, or loose skin over time due to aging, genetics, or volume changes beneath the eyes. These changes often create a tired or aged appearance, even when you feel well rested.

Lower eyelid surgery in Jacksonville at Coastal Cosmetic Center is designed to refine the under-eye area while preserving natural contours and expression. Led by plastic surgeons Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, our approach emphasizes subtle improvement and long-term balance rather than aggressive correction.

What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery is a procedure that addresses under-eye puffiness, excess skin, and fat irregularities beneath the eyes. Depending on individual anatomy, the method may involve repositioning or removing fat, tightening skin, or smoothing the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

At Coastal Cosmetic Center, lower eyelid surgery is performed in our fully accredited, on-site surgical center in Jacksonville, ensuring continuity of care from consultation through recovery.

Is Lower Eyelid Surgery Right for Me?

Lower eyelid surgery may be appropriate if you experience persistent under-eye bags, puffiness, or loose skin that does not improve with rest or non-surgical treatments. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

During consultation, we evaluate eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and facial structure to determine whether lower eyelid surgery alone or in combination with other procedures is recommended.
