Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Technique and complications.
Ophthalmology 1989 July
The transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty is extremely effective at reducing lower lid fullness due to prominent orbital fat. The authors performed 122 consecutive transconjunctival blepharoplasties over a 24-month period. Four patients had skin excision via the pinch technique in conjunction with the transconjunctival fat excision. The main complication was under excision of fat which occurred in nine patients (7.4%). Moderate postoperative wound hemorrhage without hematoma formation occurred in one patient (0.8%). There were no cases of lid retraction, ectropion, entropion, inferior oblique palsy, or over excision of fat. The main advantage of this technique is that it avoids the most common complication of transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty, namely lower eyelid retraction.
