Brighten Tired Eyes with Eyelid Surgery in Southlake

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, helps lift drooping lids, reduce under-eye bags, and refresh your appearance. It’s one of the most effective ways to restore a rested, more open look to the eyes.

At our Southlake practice, eyelid surgery is performed with precision and care in a setting where patients feel seen, heard, and supported.

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This outpatient procedure can reduce drooping lids, soften under-eye bags, and refresh the overall appearance of your eyes. Upper blepharoplasty can also help improve visual field obstruction caused by sagging skin.

There are two types of blepharoplasty:

• Upper eyelid surgery targets loose skin that can weigh down the upper lid or block vision.
• Lower eyelid surgery smooths puffy under-eye bags and tightens the skin below the lashes.

Both techniques can be performed separately or combined based on your needs.

Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

Patients choose eyelid surgery for both cosmetic and practical reasons. Benefits may include:

• A brighter, more rested appearance
• Smoother eyelid contours
• Better peripheral vision (in select cases)
• Minimal, hidden scarring
• Long-lasting results
• Can be performed alongside other procedures such as a brow lift or facelift

Ideal Eyelid Surgery Candidates

Eyelid surgery is often recommended for adults experiencing visible aging around the eyes or discomfort from drooping lids. You may be a good candidate if you have:

• Loose or sagging skin on the upper eyelids
• Puffiness or fat deposits under the eyes
• No significant eye or neurological conditions
• Good overall health and no smoking habits
• Realistic expectations for your surgical outcome

Those with certain eye diseases or unmanaged medical conditions may not qualify for this procedure. Book a consultation today to determine if eyelid surgery is for you.

How the Eyelid Surgery Procedure Works

Blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case. For upper eyelid surgery, a small incision is made along the natural fold of the lid. Lower blepharoplasty involves an incision beneath the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach). Dr. Habash removes or repositions fat and trims sagging skin through these access points.

Each eyelid surgery procedure is customized during your blepharoplasty consultation to match your facial anatomy and goals. Dr. Habash’s surgical technique prioritizes precision and discreet scar placement.

Recovery Timeline and Results

Recovery is typically quick and manageable. Most patients return to light activity within a week. Here’s a general timeline:

• Days 1–3: Bruising, swelling, and light sensitivity; use cold compresses
• Day 4–7: Stitches removed (if non-dissolvable)
• Week 2–3: Swelling continues to subside; resume social activities
• 6+ weeks: Final results become visible

Most patients resume normal routines within 7–10 days.

The Cost of Eyelid Surgery

The cost of eyelid surgery varies based on whether you have upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty. Anesthesia type and surgical complexity are also factors. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is not typically covered by insurance. However, if drooping lids interfere with vision, functional blepharoplasty may qualify for coverage after documentation.

Financing options such as CareCredit are available to help make your procedure more affordable. You may ask us about payment plans during your consultation.
