BaurTeaser There is no secret to achieving successful results with lower belpharoplasties; as is the case with any surgical procedure, proper patient evaluation and development of a comprehensive, anatomic-based treatment plan are prerequisites for success. For situations in which a patient has little lid laxity and pseudoherniated periorbital fat, transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty is the treatment of choice. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty enables the surgeon to reposition fat, effectively blending the lid–cheek junction and filling the tear trough deformity. In order to better enable clinicians to achieve optimal outcomes, the authors advocate an anatomic-based approach for patient evaluation and treatment planning.
