I’m Searching For A Skilled Eyelid Surgeon in the USA That Uses the Arcus Marginalis Release Technique, Any Recommendations?

I'm from italy ,24 years old and have very pronounced eyebags and tear troughs.I think that transc. fat repositioning would work very well for me but here (believe it or not) almost no p.s. knows this technique (only fat removal that would leave me probably hollowed).Can you recommend me a plastic or oculoplastic surgeon that has a great experience in the use of this technique and in general in eyelid surgery (maybe in LA or NYC where i have relatives)?Any advice would be very helpful!Thank you.

ASOPRS Oculoplastics surgeon

Most Oculoplastics surgeons are well versed in this technique, but every patient is different and needs a customized approach. Posting photos would be helpful. If you decide to explore this further, I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. You can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website

Transconjunctival arcus release

I use the transconjunctival release technqiue all the time. I do not always place the fat along the margin, only when necessary. Often jsut releasing the arcus releases the adherence and improves that double bubble look. Good luck.
