Figure 4. The incisions are closed with fine sutures, which will leave nearly invisible scars. |

Figure 5. In a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, a tiny incision is made inside the lower eyelid and fat is repositioned or removed. No skin is removed, and the incision is closed with dissolving sutures. |
