“…Recently, a transconjunctival approach to upper lid blepharoplasty has been described. 4,5 Transconjunctival upper blepharoplasty enables removal of the medial upper eyelid fat without a cutaneous incision; the ideal patient for this procedure will have nasal/medial puffiness owing to isolated medial compartment excess. This procedure is particularly useful in the young patient with medial fat compartment excess and little or no skin excess, in the patient who has undergone transcutaneous upper blepharoplasty and has residual medial fat pad excess, and as an adjunct in the patient undergoing brow lift and periorbital laser for brow ptosis and periorbital rhytids.…”

In this article, we review the traditional transcutaneous upper lid blepharoplasty technique and contrast it to the newly described transconjunctival upper lid blepharoplasty technique that has limited indications. The technique and application of the skin-muscle flap transcutaneous lower lid blepharoplasty and the transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty are also discussed. We prefer the transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty as it circumvents the risk of lower eyelid retraction associated with the transcutaneous approach. We also discuss application of adjunctive procedures to the transconjunctival approach to enhance cosmetic results.

“…Fullness due to the medial fat pocket can be resected via a transcutaneous stab incision at the existing scar or via a transconjunctival approach. 42 The under-resected skin can be managed with resurfacing (laser or chemical peel) or further resectionoften a pinch excision is adequate. 43 Asymmetric eyelid supratarsal creases may result from edema, inaccurate marking or incision, pre-existing asymmetry, disproportionate lid resection, and uneven or lack of crease fixation sutures.…”

Upper blepharoplasty is one of the more common facial plastic procedures. The upper lid and brow complex are managed together. Whether upper blepharoplasty is performed for medical or cosmetic reasons, the aim is to improve appearance while retaining natural shape and maintaining (or improving) function. For optimal results, it is important to understand relevant eyelid anatomy and the concept of maintaining youthful volume and position of the eyelid brow orbit complex. Management of patient expectations, meticulous planning, and a degree of surgical finesse all contribute to the desired outcome. The article will focus on the assessment, techniques, and complications of upper blepharoplasty, which involve management of the skin, orbicularis oculi, preaponeurotic fat, levator aponeurosis and muscle as related to concomitant ptosis, and lateral brow complex via transblepharoplasty (internal) brow lift and fixation.
