Eyelid surgery work
The oculoplastics page describes the practice's eyelid services. The page covers the practice as a whole and does not name the surgeon for each procedure.
- Upper lid blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin and fat through incisions placed along the natural eyelid crease.
- Lower lid blepharoplasty. Treats puffiness, bags and excess skin below the eyes through a transconjunctival approach (inside the eyelid) or an external incision just below the lash line, depending on whether skin removal is needed. Fat is repositioned or removed and loose skin is tightened.
- Ptosis repair. Corrects drooping upper eyelids, congenital or acquired. Some patients need only a muscle tightening procedure; others need more complex treatment.
- Entropion and ectropion repair. Corrects eyelids that turn inward or outward.
- Chalazion management, lesion excision and trichiasis treatment for cysts, growths and misdirected lashes.
A separate blepharoplasty evaluation and procedure page describes eyelid surgery for drooping eyelids that affect appearance and vision. The practice site has no before-and-after gallery.
