Look no further than the remarkable surgical advancements in transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty in Gurgaon. This cutting-edge technique has revolutionised the field of cosmetic surgery by Dr. Anmol Chugh, offering patients a highly effective and minimally invasive solution.

Unlike traditional approaches that involve external incisions, the lower blepharoplasty procedure can be performed transconjunctivally, meaning inside the eyelid, or externally, meaning subciliary, thereby eliminating visible scarring and reducing recovery time.

The procedure involves removing or repositioning excess fat deposits and tightening the underlying muscles to smooth out bags and wrinkles in the lower eyelid area.

Understanding the Anatomy of the Lower Eyelid

Before delving into the intricacies of transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty, it is essential to understand the anatomy of the lower eyelid. The lower eyelid is a delicate structure comprising skin, muscle, fat pads, and the orbicularis oculi muscle responsible for eyelid closure. With aging, the skin loses elasticity, and the fat pads may protrude, leading to the formation of under-eye bags and wrinkles.

The transconjunctival approach targets the fat deposits underneath the lower eyelid, addressing puffiness and sagging skin without external scarring. By precisely sculpting the lower eyelid contours, this technique aims to create a harmonious and youthful appearance while preserving the natural structures of the eye area.
