Blepharoplasty in Edinburg & McAllen, TX

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, offers a transformative solution by eliminating excess bags or skin around the eyes, enhancing both appearance and, in some cases, vision. At the Rios Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Luis Rios specializes in all types of blepharoplasty, helping patients emerge with brighter, more confident eyes.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

• Removal of under-eye bags
• Elimination of excess skin
• Reduction of dark circles
• Improved vision (when obstructed by excess skin)
• Diminished visible signs of aging around the eyes

Candidacy for Blepharoplasty

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty in Edinburg and the McAllen area are in good general health with realistic expectations for results. Dr. Rios evaluates each patient's health, goals, and expectations during a personal consultation to determine if blepharoplasty is the right solution.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Dr. Rios customizes each blepharoplasty procedure to address the patient's specific needs. The surgery may involve removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. For upper eyelids, this addresses drooping skin that can obscure vision and contribute to an aged appearance. Lower eyelid concerns like puffiness or bags can also be effectively resolved.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from blepharoplasty with Dr. Rios is typically well-tolerated. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising, which is managed with cold compresses and prescribed medications. Most patients can return to regular activities within a week, with full results becoming apparent after a few weeks as swelling subsides.
