Reconstructive Eyelid Surgery
Age and environmental exposure affect the appearance of your face and eyelids, giving you a tired look and even obstructing your vision. Other medical diseases can also affect eyelid functioning and vision. Our fellowship trained ophthalmic plastic surgeon, Dr. Sterling Cannon, specializes in correction of problems relating specifically to the eyelids, eyebrows, orbit (the bones around the eye), and tear drainage system. Because the eyelids and brows are a functional part of the face, it is important to have your surgery performed by a specialist. Dr. Cannon is committed to your vision as well as your appearance.
Among the procedures Dr. Cannon performs are:
• Ptosis repair (correcting drooping eyelids)
• Upper eyelid blepharoplasty
• Eyebrow lifts
• Lower eyelid repositioning (entropion or ectropion repair)
• Eyelid lesion and cancer removal with reconstruction
• Tear drain repair
• Thyroid eye disease management (orbital decompression,
• upper eyelid lowering, lower eyelid elevation)
• Permanent correction of misdirected eyelashes
• Chalazion Removal
• Orbital fracture repair
• Orbital cancer removal and reconstruction
In most instances, your insurance may pay for part or all of your procedure. The skilled staff at West Georgia Eye Care will perform simple tests to determine if you qualify.
