Pinch and Peel Lower Blepharoplasty

Changes around the eyes are gradual over many years like all other aging processes. Generally, aging effects starts in the age of 30s with small bags and puffiness on the lower eyelid. Aging also begins with some bright wrinkles in the crow's feet. In the age of 40s, excess skin begins apparent in the lower and upper eyelids. More patients prefer early onset aging blepharoplasty to avoid any major surgery that may require later.
In the early age when young patient does not have any severe issue with lower eyelids, then traditional lower blepharoplasty is not recommended. A limited lower blepharoplasty with small removal of fat, tightening of little skin and little skin resurfacing to erase wrinkles is often required. This technique of limited lower blepharoplasty is called as "Pinch and Peel Blepharoplasty".
Pinch and peel lower blepharoplasty is performed with a special instrument to pinch up small excess skin under eyelashes and then trimmed. Extended skin flap is not lifted just like in traditional blepharoplasty. Little lower eyelid fat may be removed from inside of the lower eyelid. After pinch on lower eyelid, it is peeled with chemical solution. Generally this solution includes 25% or 35% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and it is perfectly safe for the skin. Pinch and peel lower blepharoplasty is a little procedure and gives a good visible result. The recovery from blepharoplasty operation doesn’t take much time and recover with comforts. After this blepharoplasty, there will be little pinkness on eyelids from chemical peel without any bruising and less swelling.
The pinch and peel lower blepharoplasty is mainly recommended to younger patients those have minimal aging issues on lower eyelid. This procedure produces a good rejuvenative change when combined with Botox treatment for crow’s feet. The operation can be performed under anaesthesia. The pinch and peel lower blepharoplasty perfectly matches the small aging issues with lower eyelids.
