Blepharoplasty Providing Excellent Patient Care & Up to Date Technology

McKinney & Allen Blepharoplasty

Revitalize Your Look With Eyelid Surgery

The signs of aging are inevitable, and unfortunately, our skin’s volume and elasticity begin to diminish. As we age, our collagen production starts to decrease, the skin begins to sag, and fatty deposits begin to weigh down the skin, resulting in a more tired appearance. When these aging factors start affecting the eyes, it can affect both the upper and the lower eyelids and may lead to wrinkles and bulges.

Here at Heritage Eye Center, our ophthalmologists and staff are dedicated to reversing the symptoms of aging, by performing blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery; to enhance the appearance of eyelids and surrounding eye regions.

Our team is ready to help you achieve a rejuvenated and refreshed look. Contact us online or call (972) 430-4764 today to discuss our McKinney & Allen blepharoplasty options. Same-day appointments available at our clinic!

Understanding the Blepharoplasty Procedure

This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or an intravenous sedative. Depending on the position, an incision will be made, either along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, the lash line, or via a transconjunctival incision on the lower eyelid. The incisions are then closed with a combination of removable sutures and skin adhesives.

Benefits of Choosing Eyelid Surgery

Specifically, eyelid surgery can address:

  • Excess upper eyelid skin that may impair peripheral vision

  • Drooping lower eyelids revealing the white below the iris

  • Under-eye bags or puffiness

  • Bulging eyelids due to herniated fatty cushions

  • Fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid

Are You the Right Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty can help address issues such as sagging eyelids, excessive or puffy skin in the eye regions, dark spots beneath the eyes, and crow’s feet. Ideal candidates for the surgical procedure include:

  • Individuals in good health without medical conditions affecting healing

  • Those without severe pre-existing eye conditions

  • Individuals who can take time off work and avoid eye-straining activities during recovery

  • People seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancements from blepharoplasty

Commonly Asked Questions

What is the recovery process like after blepharoplasty?

After undergoing blepharoplasty, patients can expect a recovery period that typically lasts about 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, it is essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your ophthalmologist. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. It's advisable to rest and avoid strenuous activities, as well as to keep the head elevated to minimize swelling. Most individuals can return to their normal activities within a week, but full healing may take several months. Regular follow-up appointments will help ensure a smooth recovery.

How can eyelid surgery improve my vision?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can significantly enhance vision by removing excess skin from the upper eyelids that may obstruct peripheral vision. Many patients report improved sight and a more open appearance after the procedure. This is particularly beneficial for individuals whose sagging eyelids have begun to interfere with daily activities, such as reading or driving.
