Candidacy: Opening Up to Possibilities

To find out if you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty in Edinburg and the McAllen area, Dr. Rios and our team suggest stopping in for a consultation. Dr. Rios will evaluate your health, goals, and expectations for surgery during your appointment, along with other factors influencing whether blepharoplasty—and what type—is suitable for you. The best candidates are in general good health with realistic expectations for results. If you have bags under your eyes, excess skin, or obstructed vision due to said loose skin, we want to talk to you. Blepharoplasty may be just the solution you’re looking for.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

Dr. Rios designs each blepharoplasty to suit his patient’s specific needs. When surgical intervention is deemed favorable and appropriate, Dr. Rios can skillfully remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids.

For the upper eyelids, this means addressing drooping skin that can obscure vision and contribute to an aged appearance. Lower eyelid concerns like puffiness or bags can also be effectively resolved.

Dr. Rios employs a personalized approach to ensure the results are harmonious with the patient's unique facial features and desired outcomes. With his expertise, patients can expect not only a more youthful and alert gaze but also improved vision and an enhanced overall facial aesthetic. Whether you're seeking to address functional issues or simply desire a more refreshed and revitalized look, Dr. Rios' blepharoplasty procedure at the Rios Center can help you achieve your goals with natural-looking and long-lasting results.

On Your Way to Brighter Looks

Recovery from blepharoplasty with Dr. Rios at the Rios Center is typically a well-tolerated process. Following the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes, which is a natural part of the healing process. Dr. Rios provides comprehensive post-operative instructions, including the use of cold compresses and prescribed medications, to manage any discomfort and reduce swelling. It's essential to keep the head elevated during sleep and to avoid strenuous activities for the first week or two to facilitate the healing process.

Most patients can return to regular activities within a week or so, although some residual swelling or bruising may persist. Full results may take a few weeks to become apparent as the initial swelling subsides, revealing a more youthful and refreshed eye appearance. Dr. Rios and his team provide attentive post-operative care and are readily available to address any questions or concerns, ensuring a smooth and comfortable recovery journey for every patient.
