Services
Blepharoplasty Surgery
Blepharoplasty surgery addresses excess skin and fat deposits in upper and lower eyelids to improve appearance and vision. This procedure benefits patients with droopy eyelids or under-eye bags, using precise incisions to achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial symmetry and youthful contours while maintaining eyelid function.
Ptosis Repair
Ptosis repair corrects drooping upper eyelids that impair vision or create an aged appearance. Our surgeons employ tailored techniques to strengthen eyelid muscles, restoring proper eyelid position and symmetry. This functional and cosmetic procedure benefits adults and children with congenital or acquired eyelid ptosis through minimally invasive approaches that prioritize long-term eyelid stability.
Tear Duct Surgery
Tear duct surgery addresses chronic tearing and blockages through procedures like DCR to create new drainage pathways. We treat adults with acquired blockages and children with congenital issues using endoscopic and external approaches. Our techniques minimize scarring while restoring normal tear drainage function to prevent infections and maintain ocular surface health.
Facial Reconstruction
Facial reconstruction addresses defects from trauma, cancer removal, or congenital conditions using advanced grafting and flap techniques. Our surgeons restore form and function for complex facial injuries involving skin, bone, and soft tissues. We specialize in post-Mohs reconstruction and orbital fracture repair, employing meticulous methods to preserve facial nerve function and achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes.
Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment
We provide comprehensive management for thyroid eye disease including orbital decompression, strabismus surgery, and eyelid retraction repair. Our approach combines medical management with surgical intervention to address proptosis, double vision, and eyelid abnormalities. Treatment plans focus on protecting vision, restoring eye alignment, and improving facial appearance through staged interventions tailored to disease severity.
