Services
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the appearance of upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and tightening muscles. This procedure addresses drooping lids, under-eye bags, and fine wrinkles, creating a refreshed, youthful look. Ideal candidates include individuals with sagging eyelids affecting vision or aesthetics. Recovery typically spans 12 weeks, with minimal scarring due to incisions placed in natural creases.
Botox Injections
Botox Cosmetic smooths moderate-to-severe frown lines, crows feet, and forehead wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Results appear within 37 days and last 34 months. The treatment is FDA-approved, with minimal downtime, allowing immediate return to daily activities. Regular sessions maintain long-term smoothing effects, often combined with fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing targets sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture by stimulating collagen production. It improves skin tone and tightness with controlled thermal injury, promoting rapid healing. Suitable for face and neck, recovery lasts 57 days. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal correction of deeper wrinkles or scarring.
Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
This procedure creates a defined upper eyelid crease for individuals of Asian descent, enhancing eye openness and makeup application ease. Techniques include incisional, suture, or combination methods tailored to eyelid thickness and desired crease height. Recovery spans 27 days, with results offering balanced, natural aesthetics that respect ethnic identity while achieving patient goals.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery restores form and function to eyelids and facial structures affected by trauma, disease, or congenital defects. Procedures address issues like ptosis, ectropion, or post-injury deformities using grafts, muscle repair, or tissue rearrangement. Recovery varies by complexity but focuses on minimizing scarring and ensuring functional improvement alongside aesthetic harmony.
