With this correction, we provided a great improvement in the superior section of the face. If you have a pocket of fat beneath your lower eyelids but don't need to have any skin removed, your surgeon may perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this procedure the incision is made inside your lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar.

This technique is safer than the conventional technique (that cuts the skin), because it preserves all the structures that give support the same.
