The transconjunctival approach, first described by Bourqet in 1923, has become a routine procedure for the management of fractures of the orbital floor, medial and lateral walls, and infraorbital rim. It is also used in aesthetic surgery and access surgery. Different approaches of transconjunctival surgery, however, can be complicated by the complex lower lid anatomy. In this publication we revisit the anatomy of the transconjunctival approach, and discuss the surgical steps for preseptal and postseptal dissection. We introduce the concept of interseptal space (potential space), its anatomy first described in 1991.

Background Transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique provides direct access to orbital fat, offering reduced risk of complications, such as ectropion, entropion, fat over-resection, and inferior oblique muscle palsy. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique, focusing on the incidence of postoperative complications, the recovery time, and the feasibility of combining ancillary procedures with this approach. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the outcomes of 88 patients who underwent transconjunctival postseptal blepharoplasty at a private hospital in northern India between July 2022 and January 2024.

Purpose: We hypothesize that lower blepharoplasty post-operative granuloma formation increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Observations: Retrospective consecutive case series of first-time lower blepharoplasties performed at an academic private practice. Odds ratios of post-operative granuloma formation before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed using a logistic regression model controlling for age, gender, and surgical approach.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Approach for Tear Trough Correction: Fat Repositioning Versus Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

: This paper compares two popular techniques for tear trough correction-fat repositioning and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers-highlighting their efficacy, safety profiles, patient satisfaction, and associated complications. : A narrative review of 20 studies comparing fat repositioning and HA fillers was conducted, focusing on parameters such as duration of results, volume restoration, complication rates, and patient satisfaction. : Fat repositioning provides long-lasting results but carries higher surgical risks compared with HA fillers.
