Should I have a transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty or a skin-muscle flap is a common question of my Houston eyelid surgery patients. These are the two options for lower eyelid surgery. Patients who have festoon or malar bags may be better candidates for a skin muscle flap rather than a transconjunctival approach. The transconjunctival approach is best for patients with a lax lower eyelid or best used with patients to avoid the lower lid sagging. A pinch of skin can be taken after the fat is removed or repositioned with the transconjunctival approach which will help with skin redundancy and loose skin in the lower eyelid.
