Upper Blepharoplasty in Prosper, TX

If you're bothered by excess skin in your upper eyelids, you may benefit from upper blepharoplasty. If sagging eyelids impair your vision or cause discomfort, upper blepharoplasty can provide functional benefits as well. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and are non-smokers or are willing to quit smoking before and after surgery to promote optimal healing. The best way to determine your candidacy for upper blepharoplasty is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Wan, who will assess your specific concerns, evaluate your medical history, and provide personalized recommendations tailored to your needs and goals.

The results of upper blepharoplasty are typically long-lasting, providing enduring improvements in the appearance of the upper eyelids. While the aging process continues over time, the effects of the surgery are considered permanent, particularly in terms of the removal of excess tissue. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle habits, and ongoing aging can affect the longevity of the results. Nevertheless, with proper care and healthy lifestyle choices, the results of upper blepharoplasty can be enjoyed for many years.

Upper blepharoplasty incisions are strategically placed in the creases of the upper eyelids to blend seamlessly within the natural folds of the skin. In most cases, the scars from upper blepharoplasty are very fine and fade over time, becoming barely noticeable within a few months after surgery. While some degree of scarring is inevitable, the goal of upper blepharoplasty is to achieve aesthetically pleasing results while minimizing visible scarring. Proper incision care and following all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Wan help to optimize healing and reduce the risk of noticeable scar tissue.

Yes. For more comprehensive results, some patients opt to combine upper blepharoplasty with other procedures, like a lip lift, or non-surgical rejuvenation methods, such as Botox or dermal fillers. Dr. Wan can help you explore your options and design a treatment plan personalized to your goals.

Blepharoplasty is the most effective and long-lasting method of eyelid rejuvenation. However, injectables such as Botox or fillers may play a role in specific patients. While Botox cannot remove excess skin or fat, it can soften the appearance of wrinkles in the crows feet area or subtly lift the brows. Injectable dermal fillers can be used to add volume and improve contouring in the upper eyelids, reducing the appearance of hollowing or sunken areas.
