Duration
2 hours
Blepharoplasty at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute removes excess skin and, where needed, repositions or reduces herniated fat to correct drooping upper eyelids and puffy or hollowed lower eyelids.

Procedures can be performed independently or combined with facelift or brow lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
