Services
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery improves upper and lower eyelid appearance by removing excess skin, fat, and tightening muscles. This procedure addresses drooping lids, under-eye bags, and fine wrinkles, creating a more rested appearance. Ideal candidates include individuals with sagging eyelids affecting vision or aesthetics. The Glavas Center uses advanced techniques like laser and radiofrequency for minimal scarring and faster recovery.
Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
This specialized procedure creates a natural-looking eyelid crease for patients of Asian descent while preserving ethnic characteristics. Techniques vary based on eyelid thickness and desired crease height. Recovery typically takes 2-7 days with permanent results. The Glavas Center tailors each surgery to maintain facial harmony while enhancing eye definition and makeup application capabilities.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic temporarily reduces frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Treatments take minutes with visible results in 3-7 days lasting 3-4 months. The Glavas Center offers expert administration for natural outcomes, often combined with other procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 laser treatment addresses sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture with minimal downtime. This non-surgical option stimulates collagen production for smoother skin. The Glavas Center customizes treatments for different skin types and concerns, often combining with eyelid surgery for enhanced facial rejuvenation.
Scar Revision
Specialized techniques minimize visible scarring from injuries or previous surgeries. The Glavas Center employs precise surgical and non-surgical methods to improve scar appearance while maintaining functional eyelid integrity. Treatments address both recent and established scars with emphasis on natural-looking outcomes.
