Approach

No external scar

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty uses an incision on the inner lining of the lower eyelid, so the scar is not externally visible. The existing MA360 page also notes that the approach is designed to preserve normal eyelid shape by avoiding support structures.

Overview

Lower eye bag removal without an external scar.

Best for

Puffiness, under-eye bags, and a tired-looking eye area.

Return to work

Many patients return after around one week.

Visible change

Often clearer by 6–12 weeks as healing settles.

A more refreshed eye area, with a discreet surgical approach

Lower eye bags can make the face look tired, puffy, or older. This procedure focuses on the lower eyelid area and is suited to patients wanting a cleaner, brighter appearance without an external incision on the skin.

What this procedure is designed to address

Concern Under-eye bags that create persistent puffiness.
Concern A tired or older appearance around the eyes.
Concern Loose or sagging skin beneath the eyes.
Concern Puffiness that makes the eyes appear smaller or heavier.

Why patients choose this approach

The current MA360 page presents this surgery as a scarless option because the incision is placed on the inside of the lower eyelid rather than on the outer skin. It also notes that the approach is designed to maintain normal eyelid shape.

Internal incision No external lower eyelid scar.
Refreshed look Aims to reduce puffiness and brighten the eye area.
Natural shape Preserves normal eyelid form.
Tailored planning Suitability and cost are discussed at consultation.
