  • Title: [Transconjunctival inferior blepharoplasty].
    Author: Yachouh J, Arnaud D, Jammet P, Goudot P.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 2005 Dec; 106(6):344-8. PubMed ID: 16344755.
    Abstract:
    The transconjunctival approach is the appropriate standard for lower eyelid blepharoplasty in patients presenting with lower eyelid herniated fat without excess skin. A transconjunctival incision is made approximately 2 mm below the tarsal border and extended inferiorly following a plane posterior to the orbital septum. No conjunctival suture is necessary. Although transconjunctival blepharoplasty diminishes the occurrence of postoperative complications when compared to the transcutaneous method and constitutes a more comfortable option for the patient, we always recommend a preoperative test of the eyes. Patients must be informed of the risk of amaurosis.
