Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty (Scarless Lower Eyelid Surgery)

📌 This is a minimally invasive lower eyelid surgery where the incision is made inside the eyelid, leaving no external scars.

💡 Best for: Younger patients with under-eye bags and no significant skin sagging.

Pros:

Cons:

✖ May require revision for perfect symmetry

Laser Blepharoplasty (Non-Surgical Option)
