Abstract
To specify interest and indications of the transconjunctival approach in lower-eyelid plastic surgery. Twenty-three cases of inferior blepharoplasty performed through a transconjunctival approach are reported. The authors describe the surgical technique, its indications and results. The transconjunctival approach provides excellent access to the inferior fatty chambers and is cutaneous scar free. It has a lower complication rate than the classic transcutaneous approach, and no case of cyclid retraction has been reported. In our 'cosmetic society', the inferior blepharoplasty through a transconjunctival approach has taken a significant place in the armamentarium of the esthetic surgeon. Juvenile palpebral lipoptosis without skin excess constitutes the best indication for this technique. It is also indicated in secondary blepharoplasty and in patients presenting with a cicatricial risk or with orbital septum distention.
