About Eyelid Surgery
A Youthful Appearance
Eyelid surgery in Southlake can be performed by itself when a full facelift is not yet necessary, or it can be combined with facelift surgery. An upper blepharoplasty gets rid of the excess skin of the upper lids, and a lower blepharoplasty can remove the bags and puffy appearance under your eyes.
Either upper or lower eyelid surgery in Southlake Texas, or both, procedures can help to make your face refreshed by “opening up” the appearance of the eyes. Patients can experience a refreshed, awake appearance, free from droopy eyelids or under eye bags. To undergo an eyelid surgery in Southlake, a candidate should be in good overall health, a non-smoker and have realistic expectations for improvement and not perfection.

During an eyelid surgery in Southlake, excess skin and fat are removed, thus getting rid of the “hooding” of the upper lids or getting rid of bags under the eyes.
Will it hurt?
