Brighten Your Look and Vision with Blepharoplasty

Your eyes are one of the first things people notice about you, but over time, age, genetics, and other factors can cause the skin around them to sag or droop. This can lead to a tired or aged appearance, and in some cases, even interfere with your vision. At Singleton Vision Center, with locations in New Bern, NC, and Greenville, NC, our ophthalmologist offers blepharoplasty, a safe and effective procedure to rejuvenate your eyes and restore both comfort and confidence.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. This treatment can address a variety of concerns, including:

•             Drooping upper eyelids that impair vision.

•             Puffy or sagging lower eyelids.

•             Excess skin that creates folds or wrinkles around the eyes.

•             Bags under the eyes that contribute to a tired appearance.

Whether performed for functional or cosmetic reasons, blepharoplasty can help you look and feel your best.

Who Is a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you:

•             Have drooping eyelids that affect your vision or daily activities.

•             Feel self-conscious about the appearance of your eyes.

•             Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure.

During your consultation at Singleton Vision Center, our experienced ophthalmologist will evaluate your concerns and determine if blepharoplasty is the right option for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing for discreet scarring. For lower eyelid surgery, the incision is often placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid.

The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during recovery. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks, revealing a refreshed and more youthful appearance.
