Blepharoplasty Houston | Eyelid Surgery | Dr. Do

Blepharoplasty for a More Youthful, Refreshed Look

The eyes are the focal point of the face and contribute substantially to your overall facial appearance. Bags beneath the eyes, wrinkled drooping layers of skin on the eyelids, and sagging eyebrows give the entire face a perpetually tired or sad expression.

Blepharoplasty in Houston at Aesthetic Surgery Institute is performed by Dr. Do, a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. Eyelid surgery can restore a more alert, refreshed appearance by removing excess skin and fat from the upper lids, lower lids, or both. It is commonly combined with a facelift, brow lift, or other facial rejuvenation procedures for more comprehensive results.

Blepharoplasty Houston with Dr. Do at Aesthetic Surgery Institute

About the Procedure

The surgeon may operate on the upper and lower eyelids as necessary, removing excess skin and muscle as well as eliminating or repositioning fat under the skin that creates puffiness and bagginess of the eyelids. Incisions are hidden within natural folds or beneath lash lines, or sometimes may be placed inside the lower eyelid if removal of skin is not necessary. In some cases the upper eyelid problem is aggravated by sagging of the eyebrows, and this may require correction with a brow lift.

Am I a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

Good candidates for eyelid surgery in Houston are adults in good general health who are bothered by excess skin, puffiness, or under-eye bags that make them appear tired or older than they feel. Upper blepharoplasty may also be appropriate for patients whose hooded eyelids are beginning to affect their field of vision. Candidates should be non-smokers with realistic expectations. Dr. Do will evaluate your eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and overall facial balance during your free consultation to recommend the most appropriate approach.

What to Expect When Healing

Post Operation Care

The sutures are removed on the post-operative fifth day. Because eyelid skin is thin, you should expect some swelling and black-and-blue discoloration after surgery. Your eyes may be temporarily sensitive to light and susceptible to excess tearing or dryness. You may want to wear dark glasses for a couple of weeks to protect your eyes from wind and sun irritation and avoid eye strain from prolonged reading or television viewing.

Most patients can return to work within 7–10 days. You will be able to resume wearing makeup and contact lenses once your surgeon confirms healing is progressing well — typically within 1–2 weeks after your blepharoplasty in Houston.

Risks of Blepharoplasty:

Due to scar contraction, rarely there is a pulling of the lid downwards called ectropion

Malposition of the eyelids can occur in a minority of patients, which can be corrected easily

Dryness of the eyes and visible scarring are rare

Frequently Asked Questions

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to reduce hooding and a heavy, tired appearance. Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, and excess skin on the lower lids. Both can be performed together (quad blepharoplasty) for comprehensive eye rejuvenation. Our surgeon will recommend the appropriate approach based on your specific concerns during your consultation.
