What Is Scarless Blepharoplasty?

Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty—also known as scarless eyebag removal—is performed from the inside of the eyelid through the conjunctiva.
Fat is moved downward into the tear trough to smooth and volumize the under-eye area without cutting the skin.
This procedure leaves no visible scar, has a short recovery time, and is ideal for patients in their 30s to early 40s who don’t have major skin laxity.

✅ Benefits:

• No skin incision or stitches
• No visible scars
• Short downtime (approx. 3–7 days)
• Restores a youthful and refreshed look

👤 Best Candidates:

• Noticeable under-eye fat bulging
• Minimal skin laxity or wrinkles
• Prefer quick recovery with no scarring
• Typically age 30–40

What Is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Lower blepharoplasty involves an external incision just below the eyelashes. Through this, fat is removed or repositioned, and excess skin is excised, making it suitable for more advanced signs of aging.
