Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) in Fort Worth & Colleyville
Are your eyes making you look more tired than you feel? Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can restore a refreshed, alert appearance by removing excess skin and reducing puffiness around the eyes. For many people, it is one of the most impactful facial procedures available, improving both appearance and confidence.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your goals.
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat that can cause hooding, puffiness, or a heavy look around the eyes. For some patients, it can improve peripheral vision by lifting sagging skin that droops over the lashes.
The procedure is typically minimally invasive, and in some cases, it can be done under local anesthesia in the office. Small incisions are hidden in the natural eyelid crease for a natural result. Most people are back to normal activities within about a week, with swelling resolving over the following days and weeks.
Patients often describe their results as refreshed and natural. If your upper eyelids feel heavy or friends say you look tired, you may be a candidate for upper blepharoplasty.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery focuses on reducing puffiness and smoothing the skin beneath the eyes. For many people, under eye bags persist even with plenty of rest, often due to genetics or natural fat changes that come with age.
During surgery, Dr. Smith removes or repositions fat pads and tightens the skin beneath the eyes. Depending on your anatomy, he may use different techniques, and in some cases secure the lid at the canthus for support. The goal is a natural, refreshed look without altering your overall expression.
Recovery usually involves one to two weeks of swelling and mild bruising. Results can last for years and help you look less tired and more youthful.
Combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Many patients benefit from treating both upper and lower eyelids together. This approach helps maintain balance and harmony across the eyes, creating a comprehensive rejuvenation of the upper face. Recovery remains relatively simple, with most patients returning to work within one to two weeks. Results are discreet but long lasting.

Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
Around 50% of people of East Asian descent have eyelids that either have no pretarsal crease or only a partial crease. This is called a mono lid eyelid, and it does not always cause functional or cosmetic problems. However, some individuals experience obstructed vision or eye irritation from the eyelashes.
Choosing Asian double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty or Asian eyelid surgery, helps create an upper eyelid crease. This can improve a patient’s line of vision or enhance the cosmetic look of the eye as a whole.
