Eyelid Surgery for Men in Spring, TX

The eyes are a unique and alluring aspect of the face, but sometimes an abundance of skin on top or around the eyes can create an unattractive look. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Younghoon Cho performs eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) for men to remove excess skin and lift the lower or upper eyelids to achieve a more youthful appearance. Countless patients receive eyelid surgery at Chiseled in Spring, TX to eliminate saggy eyelids, which leads to improved functionality and appealing contours. Whether upper, lower, or a combination of both, eyelid surgery can help create a softer, younger appearance and natural yet striking improvements. If you're interested in refreshing your eyes by removing excess skin, schedule a consultation with Dr. Cho today.

A customized eyelid lift in Spring, TX at Chiseled gives both practical and beautifying improvements to your eyelids, with amazing advantages such as:

• A refreshed, more alert, youthful appearance
• Improved vision with an increased line of sight
• Elimination of bags under eyes
• Removal of dark circles under eyes
• Reduced fine lines around eyes
• Less irritation from skin folds rubbing
• Eases strain on the forehead from straining to lift sagging eyelids

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that has been performed for many years and continues to grow in popularity. During your private consultation, Dr. Cho will explain treatment options based on the cosmetic concerns you'd like to address. Generally, ideal candidates are men frustrated with excess, hanging skin on their upper eyelids, puffy skin below the bottom eyelids, or both. These skin irregularities can also impair one's vision, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. For a more awake and youthful appearance, eyelid surgery may be the right option for you.

Depending on the nature of the eyelid surgery, some form of anesthesia will be used. This surgery may be done on the top eyelid(s) by itself, on the bottom eyelid(s), or a combination of both upper and lower.

• Upper
  Upper eyelid surgery assists in diminishing lax skin that droops over the eye to create a more appealing eyelid appearance. The incision point is often placed along the lash line or crease to excise loose skin and fatty tissue.
• Lower
  Eyelid surgery on the lower lid is performed to reduce puffy and bulging skin underneath the lower eyelid. In most cases, an incision is made below the lash line to surgically remove tissue and fat, and the skin is subtly lifted to create a softer, flatter look. 

Eyelid surgery can take up to two hours depending on whether we're treating both eyes or just one. After this outpatient surgery, you should set aside several days to recover and rest at home. Cold compresses can assist in reducing swelling, bruising, and discomfort. It's also important to adhere to all post-operative instructions provided by our office. The results from blepharoplasty can last many years, but it will not stop the natural aging process for men. To complement your surgical outcomes, we can also incorporate facial rejuvenation treatments, such as dermal fillers and lasers, to create a glowing appearance.

What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Blepharoplasty not only helps to refresh your face, but it can also improve other aspects of your life. You may discover an improved field of vision once excess hanging skin from your upper eyelid is gone. It can also be much easier to apply eye makeup to a smooth upper lid. Eliminating fine lines, lax skin, dark circles, and puffy bags under your eyes can also make your eyes look fuller.

Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles might be better addressed with a brow lift or facelift because the results of blepharoplasty are confined to the eyelids alone. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a nonsurgical treatment like BOTOX, which combats wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. An injectable filler may also be effective because it adds volume to hollow areas for a softer, smoother appearance. During your initial consultation, Dr. Cho will create a custom treatment plan to fit your needs and goals.

What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Nonsurgical skin tightening and injectable wrinkle treatments (for example, BOTOX, JUVÉDERM, and Restylane) can provide mild improvements. However, if you have moderate to severe loose skin or would like to see long-lasting results, an eyelid lift is probably better than a nonsurgical treatment. When you've talked to Dr. Cho about your concerns and goals for your eyes, he can explain his suggestions for your personalized treatment plan. He may also suggest a combination of surgical and nonsurgical procedures for ideal results.

How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Eyelid surgery costs will vary depending on whether you're getting a lower eyelid lift, upper, or both. When your treatment plan is created during your initial consultation, Dr. Cho can then discuss cost estimates. To get natural-looking results that last for many years, it's better to concentrate on choosing an experienced plastic surgeon whom you trust, like Dr. Cho, rather than looking for the cheapest place. To help you afford great results, Chiseled takes many payment methods, including low-interest financing.

Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
When loose skin is limiting your sight, your health insurance may pay for part of your blepharoplasty. Please talk to Dr. Cho during your consultation if you might be using your insurance. A team member at Chiseled can help you submit the needed paperwork and information for your provider to consider your claim. Generally, you will require a diagnosis from an ophthalmologist or optometrist stating that blepharoplasty will improve your field of vision.

If you find it difficult to see or apply makeup because of folds of skin on your upper eyelid or if you suffer from puffy bags underneath your eyes, then upper or lower blepharoplasty at Chiseled may be the answer for you. This enhancement can help you look youthful and alert while offering a beautiful answer to your vision impairment concerns. We invite you to get in touch with our office in Spring, TX to learn more and to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cho.
