Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from eyelids to improve vision and appearance. Ideal for patients with droopy or puffy eyelids, this outpatient procedure uses local anesthesia with sedation. Recovery involves minimal bruising and swelling over 1-2 weeks. Results are long-lasting, though natural aging may require future touch-ups.
Asian Blepharoplasty
Asian blepharoplasty creates a double eyelid crease for a more open-eyed appearance. Designed for individuals with single-lid anatomy, this procedure enhances symmetry and definition. Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with minimal downtime. Results provide a natural, balanced aesthetic aligned with facial proportions.
Lacrimal Surgery
Lacrimal surgery addresses blocked tear ducts and chronic dryness. Procedures include dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) to restore proper drainage. Patients experience relief from excessive tearing and recurrent infections. Surgery combines functional improvement with minimal visible scarring for long-term comfort.
Orbital Fracture Repair
Orbital fracture repair corrects trauma-induced damage to the eye socket. This reconstructive procedure restores structural integrity and protects vision. Surgeons use advanced techniques to realign bones and soft tissues. Recovery focuses on minimizing swelling and ensuring proper ocular function post-injury.
Botox Treatments
Botox injections reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Commonly used for crow's feet and forehead lines, this non-invasive treatment takes minutes with visible results in days. Effects last 3-4 months, offering a refreshed appearance without downtime.
