Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty offers advantages over the transcutaneous approach, including no visible scarring and fewer complications. As surgeons gain familiarity, this technique is increasingly favored for natural-looking results in lower eyelid rejuvenation.

Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Facial plastic surgery

Background:

  • Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty, described in 1924, presents advantages over the transcutaneous approach.
  • Many surgeons still prefer the transcutaneous method due to unfamiliarity and overestimation of skin excision for wrinkles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the benefits of the transconjunctival approach for lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
  • To encourage wider adoption of the transconjunctival technique.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of transconjunctival versus transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty techniques.
  • Review of surgical outcomes, focusing on scarring, eyelid retraction, and contour changes.

Main Results:

  • The transconjunctival approach avoids visible scarring.

  • It demonstrates a significantly lower incidence of postoperative lower eyelid retraction and margin contour changes.
  • This technique contributes to a more natural, non-surgical aesthetic outcome.

    • Conclusions:

    • The transconjunctival approach is gaining favor due to its superior aesthetic and functional results.
    • Increased surgeon awareness and experience can facilitate broader adoption of this beneficial technique.
