How is Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Different from Other Types of Lower Eyelid Surgery?
A transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a method of improving the appearance of puffy under
eye bags without any external incisions.
This is in contrast to a more commonly taught procedure to general plastic surgeons called
a “transcutaneous blepharoplasty”.
Stability of the lower eyelid is critical to appearance and function and the transconjunctival
approach has the advantage of the surgeon being able to avoid disrupting the delicate
muscles and ligaments necessary for lower eyelid support.
Typically in my practice, I perform transconjunctival procedures for people of all ages and often
combine it with skin enhancement for dark under eye circles and fine lines such as fractional
CO2 laser and platelet rich plasma or PRP treatment.
