Customization: Tailoring Eyelid Surgery to Your Needs

Upper Eyelid Surgery

If your primary concern is drooping or sagging upper eyelids, upper eyelid surgery is the focus. Excess skin is removed during this procedure, and the remaining skin is skillfully tightened. This not only rejuvenates your appearance but can also improve your field of vision if sagging lids are obstructing your sight.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery is the solution for those with under-eye puffiness or bags. It involves addressing excess fat deposits and sagging skin to create a smoother and more youthful contour. Lower eyelid surgery can also alleviate the tired or aged appearance caused by these concerns.

Combined Approach

In some cases, individuals may benefit from both upper and lower eyelid surgery in Dallas, TX, to comprehensively address their eyelid and periorbital region concerns. Dr. Meade will assess your unique needs and recommend the most suitable approach for your desired outcome.

Once healed, you'll enjoy a natural, alert, and youthful look, with results lasting 5 to 7 years or even a lifetime. Incision marks are nearly invisible.

Will There Be Visible Scars After Eyelid Surgery?

One of the concerns many individuals have about eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is the presence of visible scars. Fortunately, Dr. Meade and his team take great care to minimize scarring and place incisions strategically to ensure they are as inconspicuous as possible.

For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are typically made along the upper eyelid's natural crease, where any resulting scars can be well hidden. These scars become quite discreet over time and are often barely noticeable.

Lower eyelid surgery may involve incisions just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid. Incisions along the lash line can usually be well concealed with makeup, while the inside of the lower eyelid leaves no visible external scarring.

What is a Transconjunctival Approach?

The transconjunctival approach is a technique used in lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) that involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid, along the conjunctiva, the clear membrane covering the eye.

Key Points:

Internal Incision: Unlike traditional methods, the incision is made inside the eyelid, leaving no external scars.

No External Scarring: This approach eliminates visible scars since the incision is hidden on the inner eyelid.
Fat Repositioning: It allows access to fat pads under the eyes, which can be repositioned to reduce puffiness or bags.
Lower Eyelid Focus: This technique is specifically for addressing lower eyelid concerns, not upper eyelid issues.

Quicker Recovery: Healing may be faster since there’s no external incision, though temporary swelling and discomfort may occur.
Patient Suitability: Not everyone is a candidate for this approach. Consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine the best technique for your needs.

Dr. Meade is not only a highly skilled and very talented surgeon, his attention to detail is outstanding. His kindness, respect, and the way he cares for his patients is truly amazing.
