I can't figure out how this scarring or sutures don't rub on your eyeball after surgery since it's on the inside. I am especially curious because i wear contact lenses.

Answer: What is transconjunctival lower eyelid surgery? This is a procedure where excess fat can be removed from the inside of the eyelid.The incision is around 0.5cm away from the edge of the eyelid and the small scars are usually left to heal on their own without the need for stitches.If you are a contact lens wearer, I would suggest changing to glasses for around a month after surgery, and keeping your eyes well-lubricated.I hope this helps!

Answer: Transconjunctival Eyelid Surgery Thank you for your question.In the transconjunctival blepharoplasty, the incision is low enough in the depths of the inferior fornix that the sutures are away from the cornea and do not scratch the eyeball. You may not be able to wear contact lenses for several weeks.
