Fatigue Is A Filter
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice, but over time, they can also be the first feature to misrepresent how you feel. For many of our patients from McKinney, the issue isn’t simply "aging"—it’s a mismatch. You feel energetic and rested, but the mirror reflects fatigue, heaviness, or stress. Dr. Robert “Bo” Brobst knows that eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is about more than removing skin; it is about restoring the energy that makes you look like you. As a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Brobst specializes in subtle, restorative adjustments. Whether you are navigating a busy professional life in the Metroplex or enjoying the social pace of historic downtown McKinney, your result should look bright and natural—never tight, startled, or "done."

The Structural Reality
Blepharoplasty is a surgical refinement of the upper or lower eyelids. It addresses the structural changes - like stretching skin and displaced fat - that no amount of sleep or eye cream can correct.
When considering blepharoplasty McKinney residents trust Dr. Brobst because he approaches these delicate tissues with an artist's restraint. The goal is not to change your eye shape but to clear away the distractions that weigh it down.
Evidence Over Aesthetics
While many patients focus on the cosmetic shift—looking less tired—the benefits of blepharoplasty often extend into functionality and comfort.
Recognizing the Shift
You might be a candidate for blepharoplasty if you find yourself constantly fielding questions like, "Are you tired?" or "Is everything okay?" even when you feel fine. Common motivations include:
Calibrating Your Result
There is no "standard" blepharoplasty. Dr. Brobst customizes the technique to match your bone structure and aesthetic goals.
This is often performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Brobst makes a precise incision hidden within the natural crease of the lid. He removes the exact amount of loose skin needed to open the eye while preserving the ability to close it comfortably. The scar hides beautifully within the fold, becoming virtually invisible once healed.
Addressing the lower lid is more complex and requires a specialist’s touch. Dr. Brobst may use an internal incision (inside the lid) to reposition or remove fat pads without any external scarring. If skin texture is an issue, he might combine this with a "pinch" removal of excess skin or laser resurfacing to smooth fine lines.
For complete rejuvenation, Dr. Brobst can address all four eyelids in a single session. This ensures that the upper and lower lids age at the same pace, providing a seamless, balanced result.
Respecting Your Calendar
We know that for our McKinney blepharoplasty patients, downtime is a major consideration. We provide a detailed "Smart Prep" plan to ensure your recovery is as efficient as possible. The Timeline:
Because our office is just a short drive down US-75, follow-up visits are convenient and easy to fit into your schedule.
The Timeline of Change
Patience is required to see the final "settling" of the tissues, but the visual improvement is often evident as soon as the initial swelling subsides.
Value Without Variables.
We believe that financial clarity is part of a trusting doctor-patient relationship. Because Dr. Brobst customizes every surgery to the patient’s specific anatomy, we do not offer flat-rate pricing. Blepharoplasty costs reflect the complexity of the correction required.
The A Specialist’s Perspective
Finding a specialist often requires looking beyond your immediate zip code. While our boutique practice is located in Plano, we are the surgeon of choice for many McKinney residents seeking elite facial expertise without the flight to either coast.
Dr. Brobst is Dual Board Certified and fellowship-trained, meaning his entire practice is dedicated to the face and neck. He is known locally as "Dr. Bo"—a testament to his warm, approachable nature. He believes that surgery should be a partnership rooted in honesty. If a non-surgical option like lasers or filler will achieve your goals, he will tell you. If surgery is the right path, he will map out a plan that respects your anatomy and your timeline.
We invite our McKinney neighbors to visit us in Plano for a consultation. Come sit down with Dr. Bo, discuss your goals, and discover how a subtle refinement can restore your outlook.
What Real Patients Are Saying
No. Dr. Brobst’s philosophy is conservative. He respects the natural architecture of your eyelids. The goal is to reveal your eyes, not alter their fundamental shape or slant.
Yes. In fact, many patients confuse heavy brows with heavy eyelids. If the brow is pushing down on the lid, removing eyelid skin alone won’t fix the problem. Dr. Brobst will assess both areas during your consultation to determine if a standalone blepharoplasty or a combined approach offers the best outcome.
If your upper eyelid skin is significantly obstructing your vision (documented by a visual field test), a portion of the procedure may be covered by insurance. Lower eyelid surgery is almost always considered cosmetic. Our team can help navigate these details during your visit.
Eyelid surgery provides long-lasting correction. While the aging process continues, you will simply continue to age from a more youthful starting point. Most patients enjoy their results for a decade or more.
