Before & After Photos
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?
Both men and women who feel their upper or lower eyelids make them appear older or perpetually tired may benefit from eyelid surgery. While many patients are over 40, younger individuals with hereditary droopy or baggy eyelids can also be ideal candidates. It’s essential for anyone considering this procedure to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome.
How Much Does Eyelid Surgery Cost in The Woodlands?
Eyelid surgery costs in The Woodlands, Conroe, and Spring, TX, vary depending on whether you’re undergoing upper, lower, or both types of eyelid surgery. Most of the time, insurance doesn’t cover the cost since it’s considered elective. However, if drooping upper eyelids are affecting your vision, some insurance plans may cover part or all of the procedure.

Advantages of Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery offers significant aesthetic improvements, especially when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Gill. While the skin around the eyes will continue to age, the results of the surgery can last for many years.
The procedure is a great option for men and women who want to address:
– Loose or sagging skin on the upper eyelids that can create folds or interfere with the natural contour, sometimes even obstructing vision
– Puffiness caused by excess fatty deposits in the upper eyelids
– Bags under the eyes
– Drooping lower eyelids that may reveal the white below the iris
– Excess skin and fine lines on the lower eyelids
For issues like crow’s feet or dark circles, nonsurgical treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal fillers might be more appropriate options.
How Is Eyelid Surgery Performed?
Dr. Gill performs eyelid surgery as an outpatient procedure at one of the hospitals or surgical centers in Houston or The Woodlands where he holds medical privileges. He typically uses “twilight sedation,” which offers a quicker recovery compared to general anesthesia. The length of surgery depends on whether you’re having upper or lower eyelid surgery, or both. Dr. Gill personalizes each treatment plan after assessing your needs during the consultation.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
During upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Gill makes an incision within the eyelid’s natural crease, ensuring the scar remains virtually invisible. Through this incision, he separates the skin from the underlying fat and muscle, removing excess fat and often trimming sagging skin and muscle. The incision is then closed with precision.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery may involve either exterior or interior incisions, depending on what’s needed. If skin and fat removal is required, Dr. Gill will make well-hidden incisions on the outside of the lower lid. In cases where only a pocket of fat needs to be removed or repositioned, Dr. Gill can perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which involves incisions on the inside of the lower eyelid. This option is especially common among younger patients.

What Can You Expect During Recovery?
Dr. Gill provides thorough post-surgery instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients take about a week off from work. Cold compresses and prescribed medication help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days. Elevating the head is crucial, and contact lens wearers will need to switch to glasses for about two weeks.
