Services
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns through precise tissue modification. This procedure corrects drooping eyelids, removes excess skin, and improves vision obstruction while enhancing facial aesthetics. Patients achieve natural-looking results that restore youthful eye appearance and improve peripheral vision when necessary.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation combines surgical and non-surgical approaches to combat aging effects. Treatments include injectables, chemical peels, and laser therapies that target fine lines, skin texture irregularities, and volume loss. These interventions promote collagen production and skin tightening for refreshed, natural facial appearances.
Orbital Reconstruction
Orbital reconstruction addresses traumatic injuries, congenital defects, and tumor-related damage to eye socket structures. Surgeons restore anatomical integrity using advanced techniques that preserve vision function and achieve facial symmetry. This specialized procedure requires precise bone grafting and soft tissue management.
Tear System Repair
Tear system repair resolves chronic tearing caused by blocked tear ducts. The procedure creates new drainage pathways to alleviate discomfort and prevent infections. Success rates exceed 90% for properly indicated cases, significantly improving patients' quality of life through functional restoration.
Injectable Treatments
Injectable treatments provide temporary wrinkle reduction and volume enhancement through FDA-approved formulations. Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid products target dynamic lines and facial hollows with minimal downtime. Results appear naturally refreshed while maintaining facial expressiveness within treatment zones.

Questions
What distinguishes ophthalmic plastic surgeons from general plastic surgeons?
Our surgeons complete specialized training focused exclusively on eye and facial anatomy through ASOPRS-accredited programs, combining ophthalmic expertise with plastic surgery techniques.
Are eyelid surgeries covered by insurance?
Medically necessary procedures like vision-obstructing blepharoplasty often receive coverage, while purely cosmetic surgeries remain self-pay. Our staff assists with pre-authorization.
What financing options are available for cosmetic procedures?
We offer CareCredit financing with flexible payment terms for qualified patients seeking elective aesthetic treatments not covered by insurance.
How do I prepare for a consultation?
Bring current medications list, previous eye treatment records, and specific concerns. Allow 1-2 hours for comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment planning.
What is the recovery time for orbital reconstruction?
Recovery varies by procedure complexity but typically requires 2-4 weeks. Detailed post-operative instructions ensure optimal healing and functional restoration.
Do you treat both adults and children?
Our practice addresses congenital defects and acquired conditions across all ages, with specialized approaches for pediatric patients requiring eyelid or orbital corrections.
