REFRESHED & YOUTHFUL EYES

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure that is performed to improve the aesthetic appearance of eyelids. There are a range of cosmetic features that can be addressed, including excessive sagging skin or wrinkling, puffy bags that form under the eyes, or a general appearance of fatigue. In addition to the cosmetic improvements, sagging skin can also negatively impact vision, especially peripheral vision. By removing this excess skin, patients can both improve their overall aesthetic appearance and improve their vision. At Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, specializing in facial reconstruction, facial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
