Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Emily Johnson, a triple board-certified facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon, tailors each blepharoplasty in Fort Worth to provide superior care for the patients in her community.

Expectations for Results

Over the years, we blink—a lot. And as we age, our eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. Excess skin and fat gathers above and below your eyelids causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids, and bags under the eyes. Your eyes will look younger and more alert after your blepharoplasty in Fort Worth.

How is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Step 1: Consultation

Before the surgery, you may undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you are healthy enough for the procedure. This may include a physical examination, blood tests, and imaging tests of the eyes and surrounding structures. Based on your goals, physical examination, and medical history, the surgeon will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Step 2: Procedure

We perform blepharoplasties under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and your preferences. Dr. Johnson will make precise incisions in the natural creases of the eyelids to minimize visible scarring. Once the incisions are made, the surgeon will remove excess skin, muscle, and/or fat from the eyelids, depending on the specific goals of the surgery.

Step 3: Recovery

Following surgery, our team will monitor you in a recovery area. Dr. Johnson will provide instructions for post-operative care, including how to care for your incisions, minimize swelling and bruising, and manage discomfort. It may take ten to fourteen days for swelling and bruising to fully diminish. Most patients who wear contact lenses will be able to resume wearing them about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure.
