Transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty / Blefaroplastia inferior transconjuntival

ABSTRACT

Although tranconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty was described many years long ago, it has only been in recent years, with the advent of laser, that its indication has become almost imperative. Thanks to this revival, tranconjunctival blepharoplasty has been indicated in many situations. Authors have been using it more recently in most cases where resectioning or repositioning of the eyelid pads is necessary. Also, whenindicated, scalped or laser skin resection follows immediately. In this manner, since there are no lesions to nerve and muscle structures, mainly pre-tarsal structures, most of the complications of lower lid blepharoplasty can be avoided.
