How to Perform Lower Eyelid Surgery ?

This is how to perform lower lid blepharoplasty: 1. An incision is made along the lash line, smile creases 2. Excess fat, muscle and skin are removed 3. Fine sutures are used to close the incision 4. Permanent stitches will be removed 3-5 days after the procedure

If you have a pocket of fat beneath your lower eyelids, but do not need to have any loose skin removed, your surgeon may recommend a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this procedure the incision is made inside your lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. It is usually performed on younger patients with fatty lower eyelids. Transconjunctival blepharoplasty does not tighten the skin, reduces the puffiness in the lower eyelid region.
