Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Dr. Law performs upper, lower, and Asian (double-eyelid) blepharoplasty in Dallas. Upper lid surgery removes excess skin and fat through an incision hidden in the natural lid crease. Lower lid approaches include transconjunctival (no external scar), transcutaneous with muscle tightening, and fat repositioning with fine fat grafting. Asian blepharoplasty creates a permanent upper eyelid crease via open or suture techniques. Procedures are completed under local anesthesia in under 60 minutes, with bruising resolving around 10 days and full results visible by six weeks.

Blepharoplasty at Law Plastic Surgery in Dallas addresses a wide spectrum of eyelid concerns, from functional vision impairment caused by heavy upper lids to cosmetic correction of lower eyelid puffiness and hollowing. Dr. Huay-Zong Law, trained at UT Southwestern — consistently ranked among the top plastic surgery programs in the country — brings craniofacial-level precision to periorbital rejuvenation. Upper blepharoplasty targets redundant skin and herniated fat through an incision precisely placed in the natural lid crease, rendering it nearly invisible once healed. Patients typically qualify after age 35, once the facial musculature has developed sufficient laxity. In cases where drooping upper lids obstruct peripheral vision, the procedure may qualify for partial insurance coverage under Aetna, United Healthcare, and other major carriers accepted by the practice. Lower eyelid surgery options depend on anatomy. The transconjunctival approach — with the incision placed entirely inside the lower lid — effectively addresses fat prolapse without any external scar. The transcutaneous technique allows Dr. Law to simultaneously remove or reposition fat while tightening the orbicularis muscle. Fine fat grafting to the lower lid and cheek junction can correct volume loss contributing to a tired appearance. Asian blepharoplasty (double-eyelid surgery) is a specialised procedure that creates or defines an upper lid crease in patients who were born without one. Dr. Law offers both the open/incisional method for patients desiring a crisp, permanent crease, and the partial incisional or suture technique for those seeking a less invasive option. All procedures are outpatient, typically completed in under 60 minutes. Sutures are removed around one week post-op, and most patients are socially presentable within two weeks. Full resolution of swelling occurs by approximately six weeks. The Medical City Dallas location makes the practice accessible across the DFW metroplex, including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Irving.
