COSMETIC SERVICES
Plastic surgery of the eyelids can help patients see more clearly as well as look younger and rejuvenated. By removing excess tissue and tightening the skin, cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery can not only increase the visual field …but also "turn back time" by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lines and sagging skin that make you look angry or tired.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Ophthalmic plastic surgery, or oculoplastics, is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that deals with disorders of the eyelids, including tumors, orbits (bones around the eyes), and lacrimal (tear) system. Eyelid tumors and growths may be removed as an office procedure.
