Want excess skin removed under eyes. Can this be achieved with transconjunctival alone? (photo)

Asked By:ChristineATL

I am 50 years old and want a younger appearance. I am thinking about getting a upper and lower blepharoplasty. I want to know if the transconjunctival method would be beneficial or have incisions on upper and lower lids? Two different surgeons have differing opinions. The "bags" or puffiness and excess skin is what bothers me most under my eyes.
