- When needed, displaced fat is removed or relocated to restore the contour around the eyes.
- Candidates include patients with sagging upper lids, excess lower lid skin, bags under the eyes, or peripheral vision problems.
- The pre-surgical visit covers goals, prior surgeries, health conditions, medications, vitamins and herbal supplements.
- The surgery is generally performed under conscious IV sedation and a local anesthetic; the patient stays awake and relaxed.
The practice site has no before-and-after gallery page.
