Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the eyelids. Eyelid surgery generally involves making a small incision along the crease of the targeted eyelid, following which excess skin tissues and fat cells are removed. Tightening excess skin can make the eyelids look firm and youthful. Eyelid surgery in Dallas can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your condition and goals.

Types of Eyelid Surgeries
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery is performed on the upper eyelids. The surgeon makes an incision on the upper eyelids to remove excess skin and fat tissues, making the eyelids look more youthful. This procedure can treat sagging eyelid skin, reduce puffiness, and improve your vision.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery is performed on the lower eyelids. The surgeon makes an incision on the lower eyelids to remove excess skin and fat tissues, improving the appearance of bags under the eyes. This procedure can also correct deep tear troughs and dark circles.
Double Eyelid Surgery
Double eyelid surgery is performed on the upper and lower eyelids simultaneously. The surgeon for your eyelid surgery in Dallas trims away excess skin tissues and fat deposits from both eyelids to rejuvenate your facial contours, making you look significantly younger and more refreshed.

Dr. Chiodo’s Personalized Eyelid Surgery Technique
Dr. Chiodo performs a highly personalized eyelid surgery after a thorough evaluation. During your consultation, he carefully examines your eyelids, studies the degree of laxity or excess tissues that need to be removed, discusses your goals and concerns, and reviews your medical history. After a thorough evaluation, he determines if you need upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or double eyelid surgery. He also curates a personalized surgery plan.
Your eyelid surgery in Dallas is performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. For upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Chiodo makes an incision within the fold of the eyelid, through which he removes excess skin and fat deposits and tightens the muscles. For lower eyelid surgery, he makes an incision just below the eyelash line, through which he removes excess skin and fat tissues. You may also need both procedures.
In some cases, Dr. Chiodo may perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid, following which dissolving sutures are applied to tighten the skin tissues. Regardless of the surgical technique used, you can rest assured that the incisions will be completely invisible and hidden from plain sight.
