A friend mentioned getting Transconjunctival blepharoplasty. What does this mean? Is it better than traditional eyelift surgery? I'm 52 and would like to help my under eye bags.
Hello,
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery done through the eyelid itself. There is no incision or scar outside on the skin. You can only take fat out this way so skin excesses are not corrected but this can work for mild degrees of improvement.
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a technique that allows the surgeon to access your eye lid fat compartments and remove the fat or to redrap it over the bony part of the fat. This is an excellent technique with no external scarring, however, it would not work alone if you have excess skin or sagging eye lids. A " pinch " skin excision could be done for minor cases, otherwise a formal blepharoplasty will need to be done.
