- Uses a fractional CO2 laser to tighten and rejuvenate lower eyelid skin without cutting it
- Avoids external scars, making it ideal for patients worried about visible incisions
- Promotes faster recovery while delivering elegant, natural-looking results.

How is Eyelid Surgery - (Blepharoplasty) Performed?
Scarless eyelid surgery by Dr. JC Alvarez is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive technique designed to rejuvenate the lower eyelids without external incisions. The procedure begins with a small hidden incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), allowing Dr. Alvarez to safely remove or reposition the fat pads that create under-eye bags. This method eliminates the risk of visible scars. Once the fat is addressed, a fractional CO2 laser is used to gently tighten and resurface the skin, improving fine lines, crepiness, and mild laxity without cutting or removing the skin.
Because no skin is externally cut and no stitches are required, recovery is significantly faster than with traditional blepharoplasty. Most patients experience only mild swelling and return to normal activities within a week.
This hybrid approach offers natural, refreshed results while preserving the patient’s eye shape and avoiding the risks associated with more invasive surgeries. It’s ideal for individuals with early signs of aging, but those with severe excess skin or muscle laxity may require a different surgical plan.
Scarless eyelid surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that removes or repositions under-eye fat through a hidden incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach). A CO2 laser is then used to tighten and rejuvenate the skin without cutting it—resulting in smoother, brighter eyes with no visible scars.
You may be a good candidate if you have mild to moderate under-eye bags or skin laxity and want to avoid external incisions or stitches. Patients with severe skin excess or muscle laxity may require a traditional blepharoplasty instead. A personalized consultation is essential to determine your eligibility.
No. Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, scarless blepharoplasty does not cut or remove skin. Instead, the CO2 laser gently tightens and resurfaces the skin from the outside, reducing fine lines and improving texture.
No visible scars. The incision is made inside the eyelid, leaving no marks on the outside. The laser treatment is non-cutting and works externally to stimulate natural skin tightening.
The surgery typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of fat being removed and the extent of laser skin tightening needed.
Most patients experience mild swelling or redness for 3–7 days. There are no external stitches, so healing is faster and more comfortable. Final results develop over the next 1–3 months as the skin rebuilds collagen and tightens.
Many patients return to work within 5–7 days, especially for non-physical jobs. Minor bruising or redness can be covered with concealer after about a week.
No. It is usually done under local anesthesia with mild sedation. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
Initial improvement is noticeable within 1–2 weeks, but the full skin-tightening effects of the CO2 laser can continue to improve for up to 3 months.
Results typically last 5–10 years, depending on your skin quality, lifestyle, and aging process. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine and sun protection can help extend your results.
Yes! Many patients enhance their results by combining scarless eyelid surgery with PRP, exosomes, dermal fillers, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy to boost healing, improve skin quality, and maintain youthful results.
Risks are low but may include temporary swelling, dryness, redness, or asymmetry. Since no skin is cut externally, complications like visible scars or lid malposition are extremely rare. Choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. JC Alvarez minimizes these risks.
