Background:
Lower eyelid bulging is a result of the aging process, but it can sometimes be severe in young people. This condition can cause considerable aesthetic problems to many patients.
Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of transconjunctival laser blepharoplasty in treating Asian skin.
Methods:
Since 1995, our clinic has performed 1,340 procedures to remove the fat bulging of lower eyelids using a carbon dioxide laser.
Results:
The most common complaints were edema and transient discomfort and red eye; 82% of the patients were satisfied (1,099 patients rated a score of 3 or 4). The incidence of complications was very low.
Conclusion:
Transconjunctival laser blepharoplasty of lower eyelids is a safe, low-risk procedure with excellent cosmetic results. It makes no visible scar and reduces downtime. This is also good for patients with previous surgical scars on their lower eyelid.
