Summary
Lower eyelid transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a commonly performed aesthetic procedure with numerous technique nuances and adjuncts which when properly performed results in high patient satisfaction. This chapter will discuss the various surgical options along with an explanation of their goals, including fat repositioning and adjunctive skin pinch. There are many possible pitfalls and complications that can occur if the surgeon is not well versed in the regional anatomy, makes unwise decisions regarding the approach or fails to address all of the related anatomic factors. Special attention is also directed to management of complications including retrobulbar hemorrhage, diplopia and eyelid retraction.
