Services
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery addresses excess skin, puffiness, and drooping to create a more refreshed appearance. This procedure tightens eyelid muscles and removes fat deposits, improving both aesthetics and potential vision obstruction. Ideal for patients seeking rejuvenation of the eye area through surgical enhancement.
Forehead/Brow Lift
Forehead and brow lifts correct sagging brows that create tired or angry appearances. Through incisions along the hairline or internal eyelid approaches, surgeons elevate brow position to restore youthful contours and reduce forehead wrinkles for a more alert facial expression.
Injectables
Injectables like Botox and facial fillers provide non-surgical rejuvenation. Neurotoxins temporarily relax muscles causing wrinkles, while hyaluronic acid fillers restore lost volume. These treatments address fine lines, deep creases, and facial volume loss with minimal downtime and immediate results.
Tearing Disorders Treatment
Tearing disorders treatment addresses blocked tear ducts and chronic eye watering. Procedures like dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) create new drainage pathways to resolve excessive tearing and prevent infections. This functional surgery restores normal tear drainage while addressing associated discomfort and irritation.
Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment
Thyroid eye disease treatment manages Graves' disease-related eye protrusion and inflammation. Orbital decompression surgery creates space for swollen tissues, reducing pressure and improving eye alignment. This specialized care addresses both functional impairments and cosmetic concerns associated with thyroid-related eye conditions.
