We’ve all had someone come up to us and ask, “Are you OK? You look tired!” at some point or another. For some, though, that is a daily occurrence. For people suffering from loose, baggy skin around the eyes, it is nearly impossible to look well rested. If you always look tired and no amount of make-up and/or rest seem to make any difference, you may want to consider a blepharoplasty or eyelid lift in Charlotte.
What is blepharoplasty?
Simply put, blepharoplasty is a procedure aimed to rejuvenate your upper and lower eyelids. It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with a very high rate of satisfaction. Because our eyes often give away our age and can even make us look older than we are, undergoing a blepharoplasty surgery can take years off of a patient’s appearance.
When I perform an eyelift surgery in Charlotte, incisions are made in the natural creases of the eye, right under the eyelashes, or inside the lower lid (depending on the type of blepharoplasty) to ensure scars are hidden. The recovery is fairly easy, with full results evident in 3-6 months. Undergoing a blepharoplasty is a very easy procedure for the patient and comes with a minimal recovery time. It’s quite normal for my patients to look and feel better just days after they’ve had their eyelid surgery in North Carolina.
What does blepharoplasty treat and could you be a candidate?
My patients, male and female alike, come to me with both functional and aesthetic reasons for seeking a blepharoplasty. Eyelift surgery can help treat symptoms such as the following:
-
Loose skin, pouches, or bags under the eyes
-
Excess skin on the upper lid (that may or may not impede vision)
-
Droopy, tired-looking eyes
If you are in overall good health, but want more vibrant, youthful looking eyes, or if you wish to restore vision that is limited by excess skin, a blepharoplasty may be the procedure for you.

Are sagging upper eyelids causing your eyes to look much smaller than they actually are? Using 
Did you know that one of the earliest areas on our face to show signs of aging is our eyes? Think of it this way—when we’re young, our face is round, full of volume and shaped like a smooth grape. As we age, our faces lose volume that contribute to sagging skin, wrinkles, and hallows. If a young face with volume is shaped like a grape, then an aged face that has lost volume will look more like a raisin. Because our face loses volume, it changes how light reflects around the eyes. This is one of the main causes that contribute to the bags and dark areas underneath the eyes.
It’s a well-known fact that Caucasian skin is more prone to wrinkles at an earlier age as opposed to African American skin. However, the same cannot be said for the skin around the eyes. In fact, according to new research, the fragile skin around the outer corners of the eyes in African American men and women tend to droop much sooner than in any other race. As a result, the lower eyelids can look much looser and under eye bags become more noticeable.
