What Is Blepharoplasty?

Our blepharoplasty in McKinney, or eyelid surgery, is a delicate and exact procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper and/or lower eyelids by correcting visible signs of aging. Over time, the thin skin around the eyes can stretch and weaken, leading to:

  • Sagging upper eyelids that may cause heaviness or obstruct vision
  • Puffy under-eye bags caused by displaced or bulging fat
  • Excess skin and fine lines that make the eyes appear tired or aged
  • Muscle laxity contributing to drooping or hollowness

Dr. Michael Chung approaches eyelid surgery to restore brightness and balance without altering your natural expression. His technique is personalized for each patient and may include:

  • Precise removal or repositioning of fat for smoother under-eye contours
  • Excision of excess skin to reduce hooding and open the upper eyelids
  • Tightening of the underlying muscle and connective tissue for long-term support
  • Use of transconjunctival incisions (inside the lower eyelid) when appropriate, leaving no external scar

Benefits of our Blepharoplasty

Our eyelid surgery in McKinney is designed to refresh your eyes and restore a youthful, well-rested appearance. The procedure targets drooping upper lids and under-eye bags, enhancing the natural contours of your eyes. Some of the benefits are:

  • Creates a brighter, more rested appearance
  • Lifts drooping upper lids that may obscure vision
  • Smooths puffiness, hollows, or “bags” beneath the eyes
  • Softens a tired, aged, or heavy look
  • Enhances the natural contours of the eyes
  • Provides subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation
  • Boosts confidence while preserving your natural expression

Are You a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may be a strong candidate for blepharoplasty if you:

  • Have sagging upper eyelid skin that affects your appearance or partially obstructs your vision
  • Are in good general health with no major eye conditions
  • Do not smoke or are willing to stop for a period before and after surgery to promote healing
  • Are not taking blood thinners or other medications that significantly increase surgical risk, or are
  • medically able to pause them under physician guidance

Why Choose Setty Plastics & Aesthetics for Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery requires more than surgical skill; it demands a deep understanding of facial balance and restraint. Dr. Michael Chung has advanced training in facial aesthetic surgery and performs blepharoplasty, focusing on preserving the emotion and character of your eyes while lifting away the heaviness of time. You won’t look “done”; you’ll simply look like a brighter, fresher, and more vibrant version of yourself.

A Personalized Plan Begins with a Thoughtful Conversation

Your consultation with Dr. Chung includes:

  • A detailed evaluation of your eyelid anatomy and skin laxity
  • Assessment of eye symmetry, muscle tone, and fat distribution
  • Review of your eye health and any visual impairments
  • Discussion of surgical options (upper, lower, or combined)
  • Clear, honest explanation of expected outcomes and recovery

Our blepharoplasty costs typically range from $6,000 to $9,000, depending on whether the procedure is performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both. Pricing for functional cases (where vision is obstructed) may vary. Rest assured, you’ll receive a personalized quote during your consultation and discuss financing options.

McKinney Eyelid Surgery Experience

Your blepharoplasty will occur at our AAAASF-accredited private surgical center, designed to provide the highest safety, comfort, and personalized care standards. Equipped with advanced surgical technology and staffed by experienced, board-certified professionals, our facility ensures a seamless experience from pre-op to post-op recovery.

Dr. Michael Chung typically performs eyelid surgery under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort level and the extent of the procedure. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on whether you have upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery.

For upper blepharoplasty, incisions are hidden in the natural eyelid crease. For lower blepharoplasty, they are placed just beneath the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach).

You’ll return home the same day to recover comfortably, and Dr. Chung will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results. Every detail of your procedure is handled with expert precision in a setting where your safety and satisfaction are always the priority.

Recovery and Results

  • Days 1–3: Swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, and tightness.
  • 1 week: Sutures removed; bruising begins to fade.
  • 10–14 days: Return to work and light activities.
  • 3–6 weeks: Swelling resolves; scars begin to fade.
  • 3+ months: Final results offer a refreshed, natural look, making patients appear more awake and vibrant without obvious signs of surgery. The effects are long-lasting, and upper eyelid surgery typically doesn’t need to be repeated.

Eyelid Surgery FAQs

What are the risks associated with blepharoplasty?

Can eyelid surgery make my eyes look smaller or change their shape?

Is blepharoplasty permanent, or will I need it again later?

How does lower blepharoplasty address under-eye “bags” without making me look hollow?

Can blepharoplasty be combined with LASIK or cataract surgery?

How soon can I wear contact lenses or eye makeup after surgery?

Will there be visible scars after eyelid surgery?

What if I’ve had previous eyelid surgery or injectables—can I still have blepharoplasty?

What are the risks associated with blepharoplasty?

Complications are rare with skilled surgeons like Dr. Chung, but risks may include:

  • Dry eyes
  • Asymmetry
  • Temporary blurred vision
  • Trouble closing the eyes
  • Scarring
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Serious but uncommon risks like ectropion and hematoma
Careful consultation and technique help minimize these risks.

Can eyelid surgery make my eyes look smaller or change their shape?

Not when performed properly. Dr. Chung uses advanced techniques to refresh the eyes while preserving their natural structure. The goal is to restore openness and vitality, not to alter your inherent eye shape.

Is blepharoplasty permanent, or will I need it again later?

Upper eyelid surgery often lasts 10–15 years or longer; many patients never need a repeat procedure. Lower eyelid surgery is typically a one-time correction. While your skin will continue to age naturally, the improvements made during surgery remain significant and long-lasting.

How does lower blepharoplasty address under-eye “bags” without making me look hollow?

Dr. Chung doesn’t simply remove fat; he repositions or redistributes it to smooth puffiness while preserving youthful volume. This approach avoids a “skeletonized” or hollow look and instead creates natural, seamless contours between the lower eyelid and upper cheek.

Can blepharoplasty be combined with LASIK or cataract surgery?

It’s best to space these procedures apart. If you’ve recently had eye surgery (like LASIK or cataract correction), Dr. Chung will recommend waiting at least several months to allow complete healing before performing eyelid surgery. Patient safety and ocular health always take priority.

How soon can I wear contact lenses or eye makeup after surgery?

Avoid contact lenses for at least 2 weeks or longer, depending on healing. Eye makeup can typically be resumed after 10–14 days, once incisions are closed and swelling has reduced. Dr. Chung offers personalized timelines based on your recovery.

Will there be visible scars after eyelid surgery?

Incisions are made in the natural eyelid creases (upper) or beneath the lash line (lower), making them nearly invisible after healing. With proper care, scars fade and become imperceptible over time.

What if I’ve had previous eyelid surgery or injectables—can I still have blepharoplasty?

Revision cases need extra care. If you've had previous eyelid surgery or aesthetic treatments, Dr. Chung will assess your anatomy and scar tissue to create the safest and most effective plan. His refined approach allows for complex corrections.
