Understanding Lower Blepharoplasty
The lower eyelids frequently become a source of aesthetic concern as individuals age. The smooth, youthful contours gradually transform, developing noticeable bags and deep valleys commonly referred to as "dark circles". These changes often occur simultaneously in related areas, such as the lower eyelid skin and cheek region.
