Lower Eyelid Surgery - The Pinch and Peel
Technique

• Aging begins to occur on the face around the eyes
  first. Often the lower eyelid is affected more
  than the upper one. It begins initially by the
  development of some loose skin and wrinkling in
  the crow's feet area. As it progresses, more
  wrinkles appear and lower bags may begin to bulge
  as fat herniates outward. This aging progression
  is subtle in the late 30s and early 40s and
  becomes much more prominent in the late 40s and
  early 50s.

Limited lower Lower Blepharoplasty procedures are
ideal for younger patients. In such 'mini' lower
eyelid surgery, several millimeters of lower lid
skin are pinched up with a special instrument
rather than making an extended incision and
dissection under skin down to the orbital rim
bone. The pinched up skin is simply trimmed off
and the blood supply to the remaining lower
eyelid skin is unaffected. This then allows a
moderate depth chemical peel to be done using
either a 25 or 35 TCA (trichloroacetic acid)
solution. The combination of some skin removal
and skin tightening helps fresh up the lower lid
and reduce wrinkling. Because it is a more
limited lower procedure, recovery (looking good
with no telltale signs of having had surgery) is
usually complete in one week.
