Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates aging eyelids through precise removal of excess skin and fat. This procedure addresses sagging upper lids and under-eye bags while maintaining natural eye contours. Patients achieve a refreshed appearance with minimal scarring through customized incision placement along natural folds.
Facelift
Facelift surgery restores youthful facial contours by tightening underlying tissues and removing excess skin. The deep plane technique addresses midface sagging and neck laxity while preserving natural expressions. Results typically last 7-10 years with proper post-operative care and complementary skincare.
Brow Lift
Brow lift procedures elevate drooping eyebrows to restore youthful facial balance. Endoscopic techniques minimize scarring while addressing forehead wrinkles and frown lines. Combines effectively with eyelid surgery for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation without over-correction.
Med Spa Treatments
Med spa services offer non-invasive alternatives for skin rejuvenation. Treatments include BOTOX injections, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing to address fine lines, pigmentation, and texture irregularities. Customized skincare regimens maintain surgical results and delay future aging signs.
Ptosis Repair
Ptosis repair corrects congenital or age-related eyelid drooping through muscle tightening procedures. This functional and cosmetic surgery restores proper eyelid positioning without skin removal. Specialized techniques ensure symmetry and natural movement patterns for improved vision and appearance.

Questions
What differentiates oculofacial plastic surgeons from general plastic surgeons?
Oculofacial plastic surgeons complete specialized fellowships focused exclusively on eyelid and facial structures. This expertise ensures optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes for delicate eye area procedures.
How long do facelift results typically last?
Deep plane facelift results generally maintain youthful contours for 7-10 years. Individual longevity depends on skin quality, lifestyle factors, and complementary skincare maintenance.
What's the recovery timeline for eyelid surgery?
Most patients resume daily activities within 5-7 days post-blepharoplasty. Full swelling resolution takes 2-3 weeks, with scar maturation continuing for several months.
Can med spa treatments replace surgical procedures?
Non-invasive treatments effectively address early aging signs and maintain surgical results. However, significant skin laxity or structural changes require surgical intervention for optimal correction.
How are personalized treatment plans developed?
Consultations assess facial anatomy, aging patterns, and aesthetic goals. Surgeons create customized plans combining surgical and non-surgical options to achieve natural, harmonious rejuvenation tailored to individual needs.
What safety measures are in place for surgical procedures?
Procedures follow strict safety protocols in our accredited surgical suite. Pre-operative assessments, appropriate anesthesia choices, and comprehensive post-operative care minimize risks while ensuring patient comfort.
