Lower blepharoplasty
The surgery is usually performed transconjunctivally, that is to say, an incision of approximately one centimeter is made inside the eyelid, without cutting the skin, to directly access the fat pads. Subsequently, the three compartments are searched and the bags are dried one by one, in the right quantity. Once these accumulations have been eliminated, the operation is completed by placing a stitch in the conjunctiva or leaving it unsutured, depending on the surgeon’s preference, since it is an area that closes very easily. Another technique is the transposition of fat pads. In other words, we move them towards the area of the dark circles under the eyes, in such a way that we blur the junction between the eyelid and the cheek, erasing the furrow that marks the dark circles under the eyes.

Upper Blepharoplasty
The excess skin is painted on the skin and the incisions are made at the limit of the natural crease of the upper eyelid, where the scar will be hidden. Next, the excess skin spindle and a thin band of orbicularis oculi muscle are removed to locate the fat pads and resect the necessary amount. The skin is carefully closed again, suturing small internal stitches that will maintain the tension. Finally, thin bandages are applied to protect the scar until the stitches are removed, usually between four and seven days after the operation.
