Visible Scars from Lower Blepharoplasty procedure?
I'm considering various procedures to eliminate thin, sagging skin that I'm starting to see under my eyes. I had heard that lower blepharoplasty procedure left no visible scars - that the scar is inside the lower eyelid. However, everyone having gone through it here says they now have visible scars. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance! - michelle
Scars and lower lid blepharoplasty
Thanks for your question - You're describing two different approaches for blepharoplasty - One is subciliary (meaning below the eyelash) and the other is transconjunctival (through the conjunctiva at the inside of the lid). The transconjuntival approach only addresses the contents of the tear trough area. It cannot correct excess skin. This technique can be used with other techniqes (such as laser) to tighten the skin and avoid scars. I hope this helps.
