Blepharoplasty, also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure intended to rejuvenate the eye area by addressing concerns related to drooping upper eyelids and puffy under-eye bags. Performed by Dr. Patrick Obasi and Dr. Olumba and Ruth Olumba at Noble Cosmetic Surgery, this surgery involves precise modifications to the eyelids to create a more youthful and energetic appearance. An upper blepharoplasty typically involves trimming loose skin and removing excess fat and may include tightening of the muscles that lift the eyelid. In contrast, a lower blepharoplasty focuses on correcting under-eye bags through fat repositioning and the removal of excess skin, as well as tightening sagging skin that can reveal too much of the white part of the eye below the iris.
Blepharoplasty in Plano, TX & Desoto, TX, is suitable for men and women experiencing visual impairment due to sagging eyelids or those who wish to improve the aesthetic appearance of their eyes. Ideal candidates are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have reasonable expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. Results from Blepharoplasty can be seen as swelling and bruising subsides, typically within several weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as the area fully heals over several months. The improvements from Blepharoplasty are long-lasting, though they do not halt the natural aging process.

Good candidates are individuals who have significant eyelid drooping or puffiness that affects vision or appearance, are in good health, and have reasonable expectations about the surgery’s results.
Initial swelling and bruising typically diminish within a few weeks, and most patients see noticeable improvements shortly thereafter. The full benefits are appreciated once complete healing has occurred, usually within several months.
The results of Blepharoplasty are considered long-lasting, effectively turning back the clock on the treated areas. However, it does not stop the natural aging process.
Post-surgery downtime varies, with most patients resuming normal activities within 10 to 14 days. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, dry eyes, and sensitivity to light.
Patients should avoid medications that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin and certain herbal supplements, for several weeks prior to surgery. Following surgery, it’s important to follow all post-operative care instructions, including using eye drops or ointments as prescribed to aid in healing.
The procedure involves sedation followed by precise incisions made in the natural creases of the eyelids for upper Blepharoplasty or below the lashes or inside the eyelid for lower Blepharoplasty. Excess skin and fat are removed or repositioned, and the incisions are then closed with fine sutures.
