Eyelid Surgery at Cabarrus Eye Center Restores Youth and Beauty to Eyes in Concord

Are your eyelids looking different? Have you flipped through old photos and yearbooks recently?  If you have, you probably laughed a little and wondered where the years have gone.  Maybe you even marveled at how young you looked in those photos.  Signs of aging sneak up on us gradually and certain parts of our faces show the effect of years more than others.  The tissue around our eyes, for example, is especially susceptible to wrinkling, “bagging” or appearing puffy and tired.  Cosmetic eye surgery at Cabarrrus Eye Center in Concord, North Carolina can help reverse those effects helping to give you a younger, more energetic appearance.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is usually performed for cosmetic reasons.  Our lower eyelids can show signs of aging.  Puffiness, the appearance or bags under the eyes and wrinkling can make eyes appear heavy, tired and aged.  Blepharolplasty involves removing or moving excessive skin and fat from the eyelid to restore it to a more youthful appearance.  In addition, the muscles and supportive tissue of the eyelid are strengthened.   On the upper eyelid, eye lid surgery can be performed to remove or move excessive skin or fat which results in drooping, tired looking eyes.  Some patients, including those of Asian heritage, often choose to have blepharoplasty to create a crease in the upper eyelid. 

Eyelid surgery may also be performed if a patient is suffering from poor peripheral vision due to excessive skin on the upper eyelids.  When excessive skin folds over the eyelashes or the actual eye, vision is compromised.  For these patients, eyelid surgery is functional as opposed to cosmetic.  After the surgery, these same patients have restored peripheral vision which is important for driving and reading.

Whether you are considering blepharoplasty for cosmetic reasons, functional reasons, or both, it is important that you receive treatment from Cabarrus Eye Center, the best eye care center in Concord and north Charlotte NC.  In order to determine if blepharoplasty is right for you, an initial appointment is made to review your medical history, conduct a thorough examination, take photographs of your eyes and discuss the procedure and outcomes.  If you and the doctor decide you could benefit from the surgery, your eye surgeon will explain the process and procedures in more detail.  If blepharoplasty does not seem like an option, the ophthalmologist can discuss other options available to you.  In either case, at Cabarrus Eye Center, you can rely on our experience and expertise. As the best eye doctors in Concord and north Charlotte, NC we can help you make that decision.
