Dr. Díaz-Vélez performs lower blepharoplasty with meticulous attention to both safety and aesthetics. The incision is placed discreetly—either just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach)—to minimize visible scarring.
In many cases, Dr. Díaz-Vélez uses state-of-the-art laser technology to assist in the procedure. She uses the laser to help create tiny, highly precise, incisions. The laser cauterizes as it works, which essentially means that it stops the bleeding by sealing the blood vessels.
The use of a laser allows for delicate tissue handling, less bruising, and improved tightening of the skin, especially for patients with fine lines or mild laxity under the eyes.
