Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty
Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty
Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift BlepharoplastySurgical rejuvenation of the lower lid was a problem in need of a good solution for many years. Dr. Sean Freeman developed the Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty as an effective treatment for this area.
Dr. Freeman’s early adoption of minimal facial aesthetic surgery, and innovative surgical techniques, along with his years of experience have made him a sought-after teacher and lecturer to his peers, all over the world. He introduced the “Transconjunctival Lower Lid Blepharoplasty with SOOF,” which described a new technique for improving the results of lower eyelid surgery, in 2020.
Patients fly in from all over the United States, and as far as England and Dubai, to experience his excellent surgical results. His procedure, the SOOF Lift blepharoplasty, lifts the SOOF, which stands for suborbicularis oculi fat. By lifting this, he is able to correct the hollowness underneath the lower lid, which is due to the inferior migration of the SOOF that occurs as we age. During the Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty procedure, he is also able to tighten a layer of tissue known as the orbital septum and push the bulging orbital fat back to where it was when the patient was young. The combination of lifting the SOOF and correcting the bulging orbital fat restores the youthful anatomy of the lower lid all via a hidden incision inside the eyelid. The Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty is safe, effective, and long-lasting.

Background
Many physicians in the facial plastic surgery world operate on the lower lid using approaches that do not work as well as the Lower Lid Rejuvenation/SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty. Many use an open approach, with an incision beneath the eyelashes of the lower lid (known as a subciliary incision). They lift the skin and muscle of the lower lid, and remove fat from each of the 3 compartments underneath and behind the orbit. The problem with this approach is that we don’t grow fat in the lower lid as we age. The fat simply protrudes because of the relaxation of a fascia layer that holds the fat in check when we are younger.
At his Charlotte practice, Dr. Freeman performs blepharoplasty for the lower lids using an incision inside the eyelid, known as a transconjunctival incision, for the vast majority of his patients.
He has devised a way to tighten the structure that contains the protruding orbital fat, returning this area of the eye to its smooth, youthful position and appearance. That means improving puffiness without causing a hollow appearance. He lifts the mid-face fat that used to be under the lower lid, called the “SOOF”. This corrects the hollow appearance under the eye.
