"Dr Kasden is the Best! - Dr Kasden will talk to at length to find out exactly what is bothering you and what results you are wanting. He thouroughly explained everything to me and answered ALL my questions (and I had a lot). I chose to to the procedures in his office procedure room. I never felt anything. I swelled up a lot after my procedures, but Dr Kasden followed up with me constantly. When he takes you on as a patient - you work together as a team. When he says to call him if you have any concerns, he really means it! Dr Kasden did a neck lift and coblatiion on the skin around my eyes and mouth as well as he did some fat grafting to my eyes. I love my results! Not only is Dr Kasden a great surgeon, he is an artist - which I thinks helps him in his work. Dr Kasden’s staff is awesome as well! Sharon and Stephanie make you feel like old friends while always maintaining professionalism. I highly recommend Dr Kasden!"

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that is popular among both men and women. During the initial consult, treatment options will be provided by Dr. Kasden based on your concerns and goals. Most often, ideal candidates wish to correct excess, sagging skin and folds on the upper eyelids or puffy skin in the bottom eyelids. These conditions can cause functional problems that can hinder everyday life. For a rejuvenated facial appearance, eyelid surgery may be the right treatment for you. If you have excess hanging skin on the upper eyelid or bags under your eyes, blepharoplasty can fix this to give you a softer appearance.
Depending on the nature of the blepharoplasty, general anesthesia or IV sedation will be used. Eyelid surgery may be done on the upper eyelid alone, on the bottom portion, or a combination of both treatments.
Eyelid surgery can last up to two hours depending on whether one or both eyes are treated. After surgery, you should allow several days to rest. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort. The results from eyelid surgery can last years, but even though they are lasting, the aging process does not stop. To continue to enhance your surgical outcomes, nonsurgical treatments at the plastic surgery practice of Scott E. Kasden, M.D. such as injections, fillers, and lasers can be paired to create a glowing appearance.
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Eyelid surgery costs can vary depending on whether you are having an upper eyelid lift, lower, or both. Once your treatment plan has been created during your consultation, Dr. Kasden can talk to you about estimated costs. To get natural-looking results that last a long time, it is better to focus on finding a skilled plastic surgeon whom you trust, like Dr. Kasden, instead of trying to find the cheapest place. To make it easy for you to afford a great eyelid lift, the plastic surgery practice of Scott E. Kasden, M.D. accepts many payment methods and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
If excess skin is compromising your vision, your health insurance may pay for part of your eyelid lift. Please tell Dr. Kasden during your consultation if you may be using your insurance. Someone at our office will help you get the needed information and paperwork for your insurance company to process your claim. In most cases, you will need a diagnosis from an optometrist or ophthalmologist that an eyelid lift will improve your field of vision.
What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Blepharoplasty not only helps to refresh your appearance, but it can also improve other aspects of your life. You may find your field of vision expanding when loose hanging skin from your upper eyelid is removed. It can also be much easier to apply eye makeup when your upper eyelid is smooth. Eliminating fine lines, "crepey" skin, puffy bags, and dark circles under your eyes can make your eyes look brighter and fuller without cosmetics.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles may be better treated with a facelift or brow lift as the results of the eyelid surgery are confined to the eyelids only. Eyelid surgery can also be combined with a nonsurgical procedure such as BOTOX, which combats wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. An injectable filler can also be effective because it adds volume to hollow areas for a softer, smoother appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Kasden will create your unique treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Nonsurgical skin tightening and injectable wrinkle treatments (like Juvéderm or BOTOX) can provide some improvements. However, if you have moderate to severe sagging skin or want long-lasting results, an eyelid lift would be better than a nonsurgical treatment. Once you have talked to Dr. Kasden about your concerns and goals for your eyes, he can explain his recommendations for your nonsurgical or surgical treatment plan. He may also suggest combining both surgical and nonsurgical procedures for your best results.
If your vision is impaired from excess skin on the upper eyelid, or you suffer from puffy bags under your eyes, then cosmetic eyelid surgery at the plastic surgery practice of Scott E. Kasden, M.D. may be right for you. This treatment can help you look younger and more alert while offering a beautiful solution to your vision impairment concerns. We invite you to call our office in Argyle, TX to make a consultation with Dr. Scott Kasden.
