This review compares transconjunctival and transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty approaches. It discusses lower lid aging, surgical techniques, and complications like malposition, offering a balanced perspective for surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic Surgery
  • Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • The choice between transconjunctival and transcutaneous approaches for lower blepharoplasty remains a subject of ongoing debate among surgeons.
  • While transconjunctival blepharoplasty is often perceived as safer, experienced surgeons frequently advocate for the transcutaneous approach.
  • Understanding the anatomical basis of lower eyelid aging is crucial for selecting the appropriate surgical technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a balanced review comparing transconjunctival and transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
  • To discuss the anatomical factors contributing to lower eyelid aging.
  • To review current literature and surgical algorithms, including less common suture techniques and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies and discussions on transconjunctival and transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty.
  • Analysis of the anatomical basis of lower eyelid aging.
  • Presentation of an integrated surgical algorithm and discussion of alternative suture techniques and complications.

Main Results:

  • The review synthesizes current evidence supporting both transconjunctival and transcutaneous approaches.
  • It highlights the anatomical considerations influencing surgical outcomes in lower eyelid rejuvenation.
  • Complications, particularly lower lid malposition, and management strategies are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Both transconjunctival and transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty techniques have distinct advantages and indications.
  • A thorough understanding of lower eyelid anatomy and potential complications is essential for successful surgical outcomes.
  • The senior author's integrated algorithm provides a structured approach to patient selection and surgical planning.
