What is Lower Eye Blepharoplasty?
Lower eye blepharoplasty, also known as lower eye surgery, is a rejuvenating procedure that involves removing excess skin, fat, and tissue from the lower eyelids to decrease the appearance of puffiness and bags.
Transcutaneous Approach
The transcutaneous approach is used if skin and muscle tightening is the main goal. The transcutaneous approach involves making a 1-2mm incision just below the eyelash line or within the natural crease lines of the lower eyelid. This approach allows the surgeon to remove excess skin, fat, and tissue as needed. The skin approach is ideal for patients with significant skin laxity, as it allows the surgeon to tighten and remove excess skin effectively. The transcutaneous method is available at Sketch PS, book an online consultation with us to have yourself assessed for the procedure.
