Ms. King,
Transconjuctival blepharoplasty is one method to perform lower eyelid plastic surgery. A small incision is made on the inside or pink surface of the lower eyelid. There are no visible external incisions. Excess fat which contributes to baggy eyelids can be removed or altered with this cosmetic approach. Excess skin, however, is not removed from the lower eyelid.
Transconjuctival blepharoplasty may help many patients. Generally, patients who are younger or who have already had eyelid surgery previously are candidates for this eyelid plastic surgery. Transconjuctival blepharoplasty may be combined with a chemical peel to help smooth facial wrinkles.
Speak with a plastic surgeon who performs eyelid surgery to determine if the transconjuctival approach is better for you than a traditional eyelift surgery.
