Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty - I am stuck between fat grafting, repositioning, or nothing at all. Recommendations? (Photos)

June 10, 2025
Asked By:CynMJ

Hello, I am interested in a lower blepharoplasty and an upper bleph to the right eyelid due to puffiness or extra skin folding over. My goal is to get rid of eye bags creating a youthful appearance and even out upper eyelids. For my upper eyelid, is the puffiness from fat or too much skin? I am opting for a transconjunctival blepharoplasty in hopes to avoid scaring but am stuck between going for a surgeon who does fat grafting, repositioning, or nothing at all. Which options would be best. Also, a canthopexy has been advised and I am not sure how that would affect the appearance of my eye shape. I have noticed that my eyes do protrude forward a little resembling graves disease, but not as bad. I don't plan to have orbital decompression surgery, hoping that removal of eye bags would be sufficient in enhancing my appearance. Any suggestions are welcomed (skin pinch, chemical peel, etc.)
