Services
Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery addresses droopy lids and under-eye bags through techniques like fat transposition. This procedure improves appearance and vision by removing excess tissue while maintaining natural contours. Patients benefit from Dr. Rodgers' expertise in oculoplastic surgery, with recovery typically involving minimal downtime and visible results within weeks.
Lower Eyelid Fillers
Lower eyelid fillers restore lost volume using hyaluronic acid-based products. This nonsurgical treatment smooths hollowness and reduces dark circles, providing immediate results with minimal side effects. Dr. Rodgers tailors filler selection to individual facial anatomy for balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation that lasts 6-12 months.
Liquid Midface Lift
Liquid midface lift combines Botox and dermal fillers to lift sagging areas without surgery. This customizable treatment targets cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds, with results lasting 6 months to 2 years. Dr. Rodgers personalizes each session to maintain facial harmony while achieving a refreshed appearance.
Ptosis Correction
Ptosis correction treats drooping eyelids that impair vision or aesthetics. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure tightens eyelid muscles for improved function and appearance. Recovery involves minimal downtime, with patients experiencing enhanced vision and facial symmetry post-treatment.
Tearing Treatment
Tearing treatment addresses blocked tear ducts through DCR surgery. This procedure creates new drainage pathways, reducing excessive tearing and infection risk. Dr. Rodgers performs incisional and endoscopic techniques, with post-operative care ensuring optimal healing and functional improvement.
