Cosmetic surgery for bulging lower eyelids is based around two traditional approaches and one approach much newer. Fat can be removed from within an incision made either on the front surface of the eyelid (the transcutaneous approach) or on its inside or back surface (the transconjunctival approach). More recently, procedures have been devised that allow for lower bulging to be treated without removing fat. |

CommentSeveral adjunctive procedures can be used to enhance the outcome of these procedures. Operations like canthopexy, skin strip excision, and laser and chemical skin resurfacing can be undertaken to address secondary problems like skin excess, wrinkling, or a diminished structural support system. When seeking cosmetic lower eyelid surgery, it's a mistake to think of these operations as equal with respect to safety, recovery time, and immediate and long-term outcomes. Why so? Because they aren't. |
