Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

You may already be familiar with the Houston plastic surgery team over at Athré Facial Plastics, and you may have already heard about what a great job Dr. Athré does with his Houston botox clients, but maybe you’re not interested in botox. Maybe you’ve been noticing that your eyes haven’t been quite the same lately. It could be that your medical doctor has recommended cosmetic eyelid surgery to improve your eyesight, or it could be that you just wished you looked more awake.


If you’re curious about cosmetic eyelid surgery, but you’re not sure what’s involved, read on! We’ve provided a fun, fast explanation of what you can expect from your surgery and what you’ll have to look forward to after working with the most comprehensive cosmetic surgeon Houston has to offer.

Eyelid surgery can help you get rid of the excess skin that collects on your eyelids as you age and help you see better. Also known as the “eye lift” or as “blepharoplasty,” cosmetic eyelid surgery, in conjunction with other procedures like a brow lift and laser resurfacing, will help you reduce wrinkles so you can look and feel well-rested and ready for anything that comes your way.

Eyelid surgery lasts a long time. If you come in for a procedure on your upper eyelids, you won’t need to return for another 5 to 7 years, and typically lower eyelid surgery does not require further visits. Healing time usually takes only about two weeks! All you’ll need are some relaxing pillows, a soothing ice pack, and some Advil or Tylenol. As you consider cosmetic eyelid surgery, we hope you’ll feel right about it knowing that the cosmetic surgeon Houston loves—Dr. Athré—is right by your side.
