Board-certified and Mayo Clinic-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon is proud to offer blepharoplasty—also known as eyelid surgery—at Solomon Plastic Surgery in Frisco, TX, serving patients throughout Dallas and the surrounding areas. As the only surgeon in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex certified in both Plastic Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Solomon brings exceptional expertise and precision to this transformative procedure.
Blepharoplasty can address sagging skin on the upper eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, or even vision obstruction caused by excess tissue. Whether targeting the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, this surgery creates a refreshed, youthful appearance with natural and balanced results. If you're ready to brighten your look with minimal downtime, Dr. Solomon's advanced techniques are designed to help you look and feel your best.

Ideal Candidates for Blepharoplasty
This procedure is best suited for individuals over the age of 35 who have excess fat or skin on their eyelids, leading to a tired or aged appearance. This procedure is commonly chosen by patients seeking cosmetic improvement to address droopy eyelids, under-eye puffiness, or an aged appearance. It can also benefit those with vision issues caused by sagging skin obstructing their sight line.Â
To ensure the best outcomes, candidates should be in overall good health, free from smoking habits, and have reasonable expectations about the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Solomon will evaluate your unique concerns to ensure blepharoplasty is the right choice for you.
Procedure Techniques
Dr. Solomon offers both upper and lower blepharoplasty, utilizing advanced methods to produce natural, harmonious results.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
- An incision is discreetly placed in the natural upper eyelid crease to eliminate excess skin, fat, and, when necessary, a small section of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
- Scarring is well concealed due to the strategic placement of the incision.
- This technique reduces hooding, relieves eyelid heaviness, and creates a youthful, refreshed contour.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
- For the lower eyelids, Dr. Solomon makes an incision inside the eyelid to ensure there are no external scars.
- To achieve a smooth, youthful contour, fat beneath the eyelid is redistributed into the upper cheek area, blending the lower lid with the cheek.
- Unlike traditional techniques, Dr. Solomon avoids cutting the orbicularis muscle, which reduces complications and promotes better healing.
- In advanced aging cases or weak lower lids, a tacking suture is placed to provide additional support during healing.
What to Expect After Blepharoplasty
As an outpatient surgery, blepharoplasty allows you to recover at home the same day. Mild swelling and bruising are common afterward and can be managed with ice packs. A prescribed eye ointment will help keep the eyes moist during healing.
Recovery typically takes about 7–10 days, with noticeable improvements appearing by the third week. As the swelling continues to subside, your eyelids will look more refreshed and youthful. Full results will develop over the next 3–4 months as your eyelids fully heal and settle.
Dr. Solomon’s team will offer comprehensive aftercare instructions to help you heal comfortably and achieve optimal outcomes.
What Blepharoplasty Can and Cannot Do
It's important to understand what blepharoplasty can and cannot address:
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Improves hooding, removes excess skin, and relieves heaviness but does not elevate the eyebrows or address Crow's feet.
- Lower Blepharoplasty: Reduces puffiness and improves the lid-cheek transition but does not correct fine lines, Crow's feet, or sagging cheeks.
- Dark circles may improve slightly as fat redistributes but will not be fully eliminated.
Dr. Solomon can discuss complementary procedures, such as a brow lift or skin resurfacing treatments, for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
