“Single access upper blepharoplasty and lower lid lateral fat pad removal: a proven technique with low recurrence rate”

The transconjunctival approach is commonly performed in lower lid blepharoplasty so not to violate the orbicularis oculi muscle integrity and to avoid additional scars. This technique does not however permit easy access to the lateral fat pad (LFP). As upper and lower blepharoplasty are frequently combined in our clinical practice, removal of LFP via upper blepharoplasty is a surgical approach that we found most applicable with good outcomes.
