Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Dr. Beale performs upper and lower blepharoplasty, individually or combined, to address sagging lids, under-eye bags, puffiness, crow's feet, and vision obstruction caused by excess upper eyelid skin. Upper blepharoplasty uses an incision within the natural eyelid crease; lower blepharoplasty is performed via a sub-lash or transconjunctival incision for minimal visible scarring. Bruising typically resolves within one week, with eye makeup resumable at seven to ten days.

Eyelid surgery at Dr. Evan Beale's Dallas practice refreshes one of the most expressive areas of the face. Upper blepharoplasty removes or repositions redundant skin, fat, and occasionally muscle along the upper lid, with the incision placed precisely within the natural lid crease so the resulting scar is concealed when the eye is open. In cases where excess skin descends over the lash line and limits peripheral vision, upper blepharoplasty may qualify for insurance coverage. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, hollowing, and excess skin below the lash line. Dr. Beale uses either a sub-lash (external) approach for patients with skin redundancy or a transconjunctival approach — incision placed inside the lower lid — for those whose primary concern is fat herniation without significant skin excess. The transconjunctival technique leaves no visible external scar and is well-suited to younger patients with good skin elasticity. Many patients choose combined upper and lower blepharoplasty to achieve balanced, harmonious rejuvenation in a single operation. The procedure is frequently paired with brow lift or facelift as part of a comprehensive facial restoration plan. Recovery after eyelid surgery is manageable: bruising and swelling peak in the first two to three days and largely resolve within one week. Sutures are typically removed at five to six days. Eye makeup can be resumed at seven to ten days, and strenuous activity is cleared at two to three weeks.
