Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Dr. Cynthia M. Gregg provides eyelid surgery for patients in Cary, Raleigh, and the surrounding areas of North Carolina area.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is the most common facial plastic surgery procedure performed. Drooping eyelids can dramatically age a person and even impair their vision. Blepharoplasty also removes puffiness and bags under the eyes that make you look tired. This procedure can remove the effects of aging, stress and sun exposure and bring back the youthful, rested appearance of your eyes. Blepharoplasty cannot alter dark circles, fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes. Dr Gregg may recommend additional procedures such as laser resurfacing or Botox/Dysport to achieve the best results.
Many Cary, North Carolina patients have been choosing Dr. Gregg’s expertise to rejuvenate the area surrounding their eyes for years.
How is Eyelid Surgery Performed in Cary, North Carolina?
Patients have the option of having eyelid surgery performed on their upper or lower eyelids.
In upper eyelid surgery, the incision is placed in the natural eyelid crease in order to minimize the scar. Fine sutures are used to close the incision, thereby minimizing the visibility of the scar. The lower eyelid is usually performed via a transconjuctival approach. This incision is placed inside the lower eyelid and excess fatty tissue can be removed or repositioned to achieve a more rested look.
Blepharoplasty procedures surgery can take from 1 to 2 hours. There may be slight swelling or bruising immediately after the surgery; however, recovery time is minimal. Cold compresses and head elevation will enhance healing. Blepharoplasty provides patients a refreshed appearance.
People with ophthalmological or serious medical conditions must rely on the diagnostic skills of their own personal specialists to determine whether blepharoplasty is an option to consider. Consultation with Dr. Gregg can help you decide whether any additional complementary procedures would increase the success of the surgery. Dr. Gregg might recommend planning a simultaneous forehead lift to correct a drooping brow or skin resurfacing to improve wrinkling in the eye area.
