Techniques of Incision in Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is currently one of the most requested aesthetic procedures in beauty centers. My Cosmetic Surgery, the leading aesthetic surgery clinic in the United States, with an impeccable track record of over 25 years, is the preferred destination for those who want to rejuvenate their gaze and achieve brighter, more refreshed eyes.

This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids, resulting in a more youthful and rested appearance. Depending on the patient’s needs, the surgeon can perform blepharoplasty on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.

In many cases, experts combine advanced techniques, such as laser use, to tighten and lighten the skin of the lower eyelid, achieving even more natural results. There are several eyelid surgery techniques, each suitable for different conditions. These include traditional or open blepharoplasty, blepharoplasty with canthopexy, and transconjunctival blepharoplasty. The choice of method depends on the clinical evaluation conducted by the surgeon, who will determine the most appropriate option for each patient.

For upper blepharoplasty, the incision is strategically made in the natural fold of the eyelid, remaining completely hidden. In the case of lower blepharoplasty, there are two main approaches: the first is the external approach, which involves an incision just 2 mm below the lashes. Through this access, the skin and muscle are lifted to reach the fat pockets. The second is the transconjunctival approach, which is done from the inside of the eyelid to remove fat without the need for an external incision, allowing for a more natural appearance.

At My Cosmetic Surgery, eyelid surgery is performed by a team of renowned surgeons, including Jeffrey LaGrasso, David Globerman, Fabián Fontaine Figueredo, Luke Gutwein, Michel Bormey, and William Scott McDonald. All are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and have a long list of satisfied patients, positioning them as some of the best professionals in the field.
