Lower Blepharoplasty Incisions: Transconjunctival vs. Subciliary
Lower eyelid rejuvenation focuses on removing or repositioning fat pads and tightening skin.
Transconjunctival approach: incision inside the eyelid, ideal for younger patients with good skin quality and prominent fat. Minimal risk of lid retraction.
Subciliary approach: incision just below the lashes, suitable when skin laxity requires excision. Allows combined skin and fat correction, often with canthal support to prevent distortion.
Assessment includes skin tone, canthal tendon strength, and cheek projection.
Dr Yalon Dolev tailors each incision to minimize risk and preserve lid integrity and eye shape, performed in a private facial plastic surgery clinic in Westmount, Montreal (Downtown).
