What incisions or scarring should I expect with an eyelid enhancement procedure?
For upper eyelid surgery, the incision site is usually in the upper eyelid crease, so the incision heals quite well and is unperceivable. In the lower eyelid area there's two types of incisions. One is called the subciliary incision where the incision is right underneath the eyelid area, and the skin is removed, and the scar is just underneath the eyelid. That procedure is usually performed for patients that have excess skin and fat. The other type of eyelid surgery procedure is what's called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, where the incision is made on the inside of the eye and fat is removed from that. If in fact you have extra skin, a transconjunctival procedure is probably not a good option.
