The Advantage of
Choosing an Oculoplastic Surgeon:
An oculoplastic surgeon is a board-certified ophthalmologist who completes an oculoplastic fellowship. When contemplating either cosmetic or reconstructive eyelid surgery, you should consider choosing a qualified and experienced oculoplastic surgeon. Oculoplastic surgeons are specifically trained to handle all aspects of your eyelid surgery while maintaining eyelid function. Choosing an oculoplastic surgeon can give you peace of mind in knowing that your eyes will get the care that they need by someone who only performs surgeries on eyelids.

Baggy Lower Eyelids
(cosmetic)
As we age, the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids, weaken. Normal fat that helps support the eyes can then herniate and move into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to look puffy/baggy.
Droopy Upper Eyelids
Excess skin on the upper eyelids. Excess skin creates a heavy looking eyelid or aged appearance.
Ptosis
(drooping eyelid)
A drooping eyelid is also called ptosis. Ptosis occurs when the border of the upper eyelid skin falls to a lower position than normal or can also be caused by dysfunction of the muscles that raise the eyelid. Ptosis can affect one or both eyes.
Ectropion
(outward turning lower eyelids)
When the eyelid loosens and turns out, resulting in exposure of the eyeball.
Entropion
(inward turning eyelids)
When the upper or lower eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes or eyelid to rub against the eye.

Eyelid growths can be inflammatory, benign, pre-malignant, or malignant.
