Duration
2 hours
Dr. Paul D. Durand performs upper and lower blepharoplasty to address excess skin, herniated fat, and under-eye bags. Upper blepharoplasty removes loose skin and fat causing hooding; lower blepharoplasty uses either a transconjunctival approach (no external incision) or a subciliary approach depending on anatomy. Procedures run one to three hours under local anesthesia with sedation, with recovery in seven to ten days and results lasting ten to fifteen years.

Removing or repositioning this tissue opens the eye visually, reduces the appearance of fatigue, and in cases of significant ptosis can improve peripheral field of vision. Incisions are placed in the natural supratarsal crease of…
Lower blepharoplasty targets the infraorbital zone — specifically fat prolapse creating bulging under-eye bags and skin laxity leading to hollowing or wrinkling below the eye. Dr. Durand selects between two approaches based on anatomy: the transconjunctival approach (incision placed inside the lower lid conjunctiva, leaving no external scar, appropriate for fat-only correction in patients with good skin tone) or the subciliary approach (incision placed…
