Services
Blepharoplasty
Our blepharoplasty procedures address upper and lower eyelid concerns using advanced techniques that preserve natural blinking mechanics. Surgeons remove excess skin and fat while maintaining tissue volume to prevent hollowing. This dual-focus approach improves appearance while protecting ocular health, with specialized methods for Asian eyelid anatomy and revision cases. Patients experience reduced eye strain and a more alert appearance.
Double Eyelid Surgery
This specialized procedure creates natural-looking creases tailored to individual facial anatomy. Our surgeons employ minimally invasive techniques refined through international training, ensuring results harmonize with patients' ethnic features. The approach addresses both aesthetic goals and functional concerns like inward-turning lashes while minimizing visible scarring.
Ptosis Repair
We correct eyelid drooping through customized muscle repair techniques that restore both function and symmetry. Our methods range from internal scarless approaches to sling procedures for severe cases, all designed to improve visual field without compromising natural expression. Recovery protocols emphasize comfort and optimal healing.
Botox Injections
Administered by ophthalmic specialists, these injections target dynamic wrinkles while preserving facial expressiveness. Our expertise in facial musculature ensures precise placement that prevents complications like eyelid droop. Treatments address crow's feet, forehead lines, and neck bands with results lasting 3-4 months.
Facelift Surgery
Our deep plane facelift techniques address mid and lower face sagging through muscle-based lifting rather than skin tension. This approach produces longer-lasting, natural results with minimal visible scarring. Specialized methods like the extended deep plane technique release facial ligaments for more comprehensive rejuvenation without the 'pulled' look.
