What Eyelid Surgery Technique Doesn't Require Stitches at All?

The puffiness underneath the lower lids is created by fat bags, which can simply be removed through an incision on the inside of the lower lids.  This takes approximately a half an hour to perform under general anesthesia.  Expect approximately 10 days of bruising and swelling after the procedure.

Thank you for your question!!

There are several ways to rejuvenate the eyelids without needing sutures- Restylane injections to correct the hollow under the eyes vs micro- fat grafting to perform the same correction, transconjuctival incision to remove puffing fat and Thermage.

The technique for eyelid shaping does depend on the shape of your eyelid, cheek contour and the expected results.

Lower lid transconjunctival surgery is reliable. It does have some limitations however. It is good to remove excess fat but requires the skin to shrink. It will reduce the "bags" but not help any of the "wrinkles" or "lines". It will not remove any extra skin if you have it. Laser resurfacing can be added to treat the skin problems if they are mild.
