Addressing Age-Related Eyelid Changes with Upper Blepharoplasty in Dallas, TX

Unfortunately, the eyelids often stretch with age, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess skin and fat can gather above and below your eyelids. This can cause unwanted sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids, and bags under the eyes. Dr. Meade specializes in addressing these common signs of aging through upper eyelid surgery in Dallas, TX. He can help restore a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance to your eyes with precision and expertise. 

By removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles, upper blepharoplasty can effectively eliminate sagging eyebrows, correct droopy upper lids, and smooth out bags under the eyes. Dr. Meade's commitment to enhancing your natural beauty and boosting your confidence makes him the ideal choice for achieving the vibrant and refreshed look you desire.

What to Expect From Your Upper Eyelid Surgery at Meade Aesthetic Surgery 

To begin your surgery, Dr. Meade will strategically place incisions along the natural eyelid crease to minimize scarring after healing. 

Next, he’ll carefully trim excess skin and remove or reposition fat to restore the structure and appearance of the upper eyelid, and may tighten the underlying muscle to improve support. Once your upper eyelid has been refined, he’ll close all incisions with small sutures to encourage smooth healing. 

Patient-First Recovery in Dallas 

Recovery after an upper blepharoplasty typically involves mild swelling and bruising around the eyes, which should resolve within three weeks. You may be given a pari os specialized lenses to help protect your eyes from light and irritation during early healing. Most patients return to light activity, including desk work, gentle movement, and social gatherings within one week, but you may choose to rest at home until all bruising has faded.

After your procedure, Dr. Meade will share a list of aftercare instructions to support your healing. This list may include the following items: 

  • Incision site care and cleaning protocols 
  • Skin care and hair care recommendations
  • Hygiene guidelines
  • Sleep position restrictions
  • Specialized lens guidance
  • Sun protection and exposure requirements
  • Activity limitations
  • Swelling and pain management strategies 

You’ll return to our Dallas office several times over the coming weeks for follow-up visits with Dr. Meade. There, he’ll check your healing progress, remove any remaining sutures, and approve you to resume strenuous activities, like swimming, high-impact exercise, and contact sports.

Upper Eyelid Surgery and Ptosis Repair 

For some patients, your upper blepharoplasty may be combined with ptosis repair. In this surgery, Dr. Meade will tighten the ptosis muscle, which lifts the upper eyelid and contributes to eyelid sagging. Then, he’ll continue refining the eyelid by removing excess skin and fat to ensure your muscles can support it. 

Completing Your Transformation

Many of our patients include upper eyelid surgery as part of a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. Complementary procedures include the following: 

  • Lower eyelid surgery
  • Brow lift
  • Facelift
  • Neck lift and neck liposuction
  • Dermal fillers 

Frequently Asked Questions Upper Eyelid Surgery

Will upper eyelid surgery change the shape of my eye?

No. Dr. Meade focuses on anatomical alignment to ensure your natural eye shape is protected and your authentic expression and character are preserved.

When will I see my final results?

The final results of your upper blepharoplasty will become apparent once residual swelling has faded, which may take up to three months.

How soon after surgery can I wear eye makeup again?

You’ll need to avoid wearing eye makeup until your incisions have fully healed, which may take up to two weeks. Dr. Meade will confirm when it is safe to wear makeup at one of your follow-up appointments.

Can upper eyelid surgery improve vision?

Yes, but only if excess skin is obstructing your field of vision. Upper blepharoplasties are not targeted vision improvement procedures, and you should talk to your doctor about any vision problems you may have.

How long will my results last?

The results of your upper blepharoplasty are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their outcomes for ten years or longer.
