Close up of woman's eye as she touches eyelid wanting eyelid surgery in Dallas Are your eyes making you look older or more tired than you feel? Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can help open the eyes for a rejuvenated, awake appearance and even improve your vision. But how do you know if it’s right for you? Here are seven signs you might be a good candidate for eyelid surgery.

Dr. Rachel Walker and her compassionate, highly trained team are dedicated to making your eyelid surgery experience both educational and comfortable, ensuring you feel confident and well-informed every step of the way. With personalized care, detailed pre-surgical planning, and access to an extensive gallery of before-and-after results, you can trust Dr. Walker to help you achieve naturally refreshed, youthful-looking eyes.

1. Droopy Upper Eyelids

Extra upper eyelid skin can cause your lids to sag, making your eyes appear heavy or hooded. In some cases, it can even interfere with your peripheral vision. If this sounds familiar, upper eyelid surgery may be the solution.

2. Puffy Bags Under the Eyes

Lower eyelid surgery can address puffiness and bags that make you look constantly tired or older than you are. This procedure removes or repositions fat deposits for a smoother, more youthful contour.

3. Tired or Angry Expression

Do people often ask if you’re upset or exhausted even when you’re not? Sagging or puffy eyelids can unintentionally convey negative emotions. Eyelid surgery can restore a relaxed and fresh look.

4. Difficulty Applying Eye Makeup

If sagging skin or excess folds make it difficult to apply eyeliner or eyeshadow, eyelid surgery can help create a smoother, more accessible eyelid surface.

5. Eye Strain or Fatigue

When droopy lids force your forehead muscles to overcompensate, you may experience frequent eye strain or headaches. Corrective eyelid surgery can relieve this added pressure.

6. Visible Skin Folds or Wrinkles

Eyelid surgery can reduce the appearance of deep creases or excess skin, especially in the upper lids, for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

7. You’re in Good Overall Health

The ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are non-smokers without eye conditions or medical issues that could impact healing.
