I am a 40yr old female with prominent eye bags. I am fortunate not to have any wrinkles and or crows feet around my eyes and I don't have saggy skin all i have is alot of bulginess. I have seen several doctors and I have gotten different opinions from them, from getting a transconjunctival approach to transcutaneous approach with fat grafting. I am so confused. Not sure which approach is right for me?

Answer: Prominent fat pads You have significant fat pads for your age. A transconjunctival is the method of choice for most surgeons these days. There are usually less complications with this approach. From the inside of the lid, the fat can be repositioned inferiorly to fill in the tear trough. You have so much fat that some may need to be removed as well. If there is excess skin, a pinch of skin can be removed from directly under the lash line .

Answer: Blepharoplasty Transconjunctival or transcutaneous.? I have done both for 35 years so I see adv-disadv of both. Though I normally do patients like you Transconjunctivally I think your bags are so large that when they are removed you will have excess skin and therefore need a transcutaneous approach.
