Texas Eyelid Surgery — Dr. David M. Turner

Providing expert blepharoplasty to patients in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos, TX

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is usually done on the upper eyelids, but it can be performed on the lower eyelids, as well. Many Texas patients are looking to get rid of the tired and droopy appearance of their eyes, often caused by pouches above the eyes that conceal the eyelid crease.

Blepharoplasty performed by Dr. David M. Turner in Austin, TX, can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. His experience with eyelid surgery draws patients from Austin, San Marcos, Round Rock and surrounding areas who expect the best in medical care.

How is Eyelid Surgery Performed?

When you undergo eyelid surgery with us in Austin, the procedure typically takes one to three hours to complete. It is performed under local anesthesia, although sometimes general anesthesia is used. Usually, Dr. Turner will make incisions that follow the crease of your upper or lower eyelids. He will then separate the skin from the underlying tissues and remove excess fat.

Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

The best candidates for our Austin eyelid surgery are individuals who are:

• Physically healthy
• Psychologically stable
• Realistic in their expectations
• Age 35 or older (but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery at a younger age)

What is the Recovery Process for Eyelid Surgery?

After your operation in Austin, you should keep your head elevated for several days. There will be some swelling and bruising, which can be eased with cold compresses. Any stitches are removed one to two days after blepharoplasty, and you should be able to return to work within two weeks.
