Woman: What is transconjunctival blepharoplasty?
Dr. Prasad: Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a term which applies to a technique to address puffy under eye bags from the inside of the eyelid. This is in contrast to a procedure called a transcutaneous blepharoplasty. I routinely perform this procedure in my practice and can comment on several of the advantages of this approach. One of the most important benefits is that there is no external incision. So there will be no evidence of having had a cosmetic procedure. A common concern during consultation is the desire to preserve the natural shape of the eyes. By performing the surgery from the inside of the eyelid, several of the key anatomic factors responsible for maintaining the eye shape are preserved by performing this technique.
