Surgical

Blepharoplasty

A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fatty deposits from the upper eyelid.  Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision, can be treated by blepharoplasty.

Brow Lift

Also known as a forehead lift, a brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that minimizes the creases that develop across the forehead or those that occur high on the bridge of the nose.  It improves what are commonly referred to as frown lines and raises the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position.

Ectropion

An ectropion is when the lower lid falls away or is pulled away from its normal position against the eyeball.  The most common cause of an ectropion is loosening of the skin or ligaments in the lower lid that commonly occurs with aging.  Patients with an ectropion may suffer from recurring eye infections.  They may also complain of excessive tearing because the lower eyelid, which contains a small drainage opening called the puncta, is no longer in the proper position to drain tears from the surface of the eye.  If the lid is not repaired, permanent closure over the puncta can occur.  An ectropion is most common among people over the age of 60.

Entropion

An entropion is when an eyelid turns inward.  When the eyelid turns inward, the lashes rub against the eye resulting in irritation, scratchiness, tearing and redness.  It can also lead to higher rates of infection of the lid and eye itself.  This condition most often affects the lower eyelids due to age or injury.  The most common cause is the loss of the normal skin tone or laxity of the ligaments of the lower lid.

Ptosis Repair

Ptosis of the eyelids occurs from various causes.  The procedure chosen to fix ptotic eyelids depends on the cause, the amount of ptosis or eyelid droop, and the strength of the eyelid muscles.  This can be easily assessed by an exam in our office.  Typically, the surgery involves advancing or shortening of the eyelid muscles in the operating room to the correct height.
