Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from eyelids to restore vision and create a more alert appearance. Ideal for patients with drooping lids or under-eye bags, this procedure improves both function and aesthetics. Our surgeon uses advanced techniques to ensure natural results with minimal scarring.
Brow Lift
Brow lifts address sagging brows and forehead wrinkles by repositioning tissue for a rejuvenated look. Candidates include those with heavy brows causing a tired appearance. We offer endoscopic and direct lift techniques tailored to individual facial structures and aesthetic goals.
Botox
Botox injections reduce dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. This non-surgical option targets forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months, with treatments taking just minutes to complete.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore volume and smooth wrinkles using hyaluronic acid or collagen stimulators. Treatments address nasolabial folds, cheek hollows, and lip thinning. Different formulations allow customized approaches for natural-looking volume restoration and wrinkle reduction.
Entropion Repair
Entropion repair corrects inward-turning eyelids to prevent corneal damage and relieve irritation. This reconstructive procedure tightens eyelid tissues under local anesthesia. Ideal candidates experience eyelash rubbing, redness, or vision changes due to chronic eyelid malposition.

Questions
What facial plastic surgery options are available for aging eyes?
We offer blepharoplasty to address drooping lids, under-eye bags, and fine lines. Brow lifts can rejuvenate the upper face, while non-surgical injectables smooth wrinkles and restore volume.
How do I determine if I'm a good candidate for eyelid surgery?
Ideal candidates have good health, realistic expectations, and concerns about drooping eyelids affecting vision or appearance. During consultation, we'll assess your medical history and aesthetic goals.
What non-surgical options exist for facial rejuvenation?
Botox reduces dynamic wrinkles while dermal fillers restore volume. These treatments address fine lines, nasolabial folds, and cheek hollows with minimal downtime and immediate results.
How does reconstructive eyelid surgery differ from cosmetic procedures?
Reconstructive surgery addresses functional issues like vision obstruction or eyelid malposition, often covered by insurance. Cosmetic procedures focus on aesthetic improvements to enhance appearance.
What should I expect during recovery from facial plastic surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure but typically involves 1-2 weeks of swelling and bruising. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
How does Dr. Covici ensure natural-looking surgical results?
Using advanced techniques and conservative approaches, we prioritize subtle enhancements that maintain facial harmony. Before-and-after photos demonstrate our commitment to natural, rejuvenated appearances without over-correction.
