Understanding transconjunctival blepharoplasty
Traditional upper and lower eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, is used to rejuvenate and refresh the eyes. During these procedures, fat, skin, and tissues are removed and recontoured to restore a more well-rested appearance to the eyes. However, with transconjunctival blepharoplasty, the doctor can use a unique technique to address bags underneath the eyes. With the transconjunctival technique during eye surgery, fatty deposits from the undereye are removed through an incision made on the interior of the eyelid. This not only achieves the results patients need, but does so without leaving any visible incision or scar. This maintains the natural appearance of the eyes and provides quality results.
Am I a candidate for blepharoplasty?
The best candidates for blepharoplasty procedures are individuals:
- Who have bags underneath the eyes
- With puffy eyelids
- Struggling with sunken in eyes or aging eyes
- With sagging eyelids impeding their vision
