Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

Whether you want to improve your appearance or are experiencing functional problems with your eyelids, eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the area surrounding your eyes.

Lower eyelid surgery without removal of fat

Dermal fillers are typically the treatment of choice for eliminating eye bags without surgery. For patients whose eye bags are caused by cheek deflation, dermal fillers can restore the smooth transition from the under-eye to the cheeks, thereby eliminating the appearance of bags under the eyes. Some patients with excess fat under the eyes can benefit from this treatment. When surgery is done, we move the fat under the eyes into the hollowed areas.

Eyyelids Turning In or Out

Entropion refers to a condition in which your eyelid rotates inward. Your eyelashes rub against your eye and cause redness, irritation, and abrasions on the cornea of your eye. Entropion, or eyelid retraction may cause the eyelid to rotate outward or downward. Treatment involves a relatively simple surgery that can be performed in an outpatient setting.

Sytes and Chalazions

We see hundreds of patients every month with eyelid problems from styes or chalazioins to cancer and conditions like blepharitis and meibomitis that as associated. Many of these condititon are treated without surgery.

Dry Eyes and Tearing

Dry eye occurs when the quantity and/or quality of tears fails to keep the surface of the eye adequately lubricated. Experts estimate that dry eye affects millions of adults in the United States. The risk of developing dry eye increases with advancing age. We have sophisticated way to address these issues.

Drooping Eyelids

The main symptom of droopy eyelid is that one or both upper eyelids droop causing issues with vision. Many patients find that this is bothersome to both driving and reading. When this ptosis of the eyelid is present, surgery can be done a number of different ways to address this problem.
