Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty addresses sagging eyelids and under-eye bags through precise skin and fat removal. This procedure revitalizes the eye area, improving both appearance and vision when excess skin obstructs sight. Patients benefit from natural results with minimal scarring, typically performed under local anesthesia. Our surgeons tailor techniques to individual anatomy for optimal symmetry and rejuvenation.
Botox Injections
Botox injections reduce dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Ideal for forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines, results appear within days and last 3-4 months. Our specialists use precise dosing to maintain natural expressions while softening aging signs, ensuring safe and effective outcomes for a refreshed look.
Laser Resurfacing
Fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing improves skin texture, tone, and fine lines by stimulating collagen production. This treatment addresses sun damage, acne scars, and aging signs with controlled precision. Patients achieve smoother, tighter skin after one session, with full results developing over several months as collagen rebuilds.
Facelift
A facelift restores youthful contours by tightening underlying tissues and removing excess skin. Our approach focuses on natural-looking results, addressing midface sagging and jowls through discreet incisions. Combining surgical expertise with advanced techniques ensures long-lasting improvements that harmonize with facial aesthetics.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers replenish facial volume lost to aging, enhancing cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows. Using hyaluronic acid-based products, we achieve immediate, natural results that soften wrinkles and restore youthful proportions. Treatments are tailored to individual goals, with effects lasting 6-18 months depending on product selection.

Questions
What is oculoplastic surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery focuses on eyelid, orbital, and facial procedures addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns. Our surgeons specialize in blepharoplasty, tear duct surgery, and orbital reconstruction.
Are consultations covered by insurance?
Cosmetic consultations are typically not covered, but medically necessary evaluations (e.g., vision-obstructing eyelids) may be covered by medical insurance.
How long do Botox results last?
Botox effects typically last 3-4 months. Regular maintenance sessions help sustain results as muscle activity gradually returns.
What's the recovery time for eyelid surgery?
Most patients resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Full healing with final results takes 6-12 months as swelling subsides and scars mature.
Do you treat non-surgical patients?
Yes, our medical spa offers non-invasive treatments like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and injectables for comprehensive facial rejuvenation options.
How are complex eyelid cancers treated?
We collaborate with Mohs surgeons for cancer removal followed by reconstructive techniques preserving both function and aesthetics, using skin grafts or flap techniques as needed.
