Some of the more common procedures performed in our in-office operating facility are: 

Ptosis Repair: Ptosis repair is a repair of the upper eyelid which can be common in all age groups. It can be congenital, traumatic (often seen in contact lens wearers) or associated with aging. In these cases it is often the muscles' inability to lift and thus resulting in a droopy lid. Various surgical approaches are used depending on the cause.

 

Blepharoplasty: This surgery can relate to either the upper or lower eye lids and does not involve the muscle within the lid but excess of skin or herniated fat pads. Most typical of upper eye lid blepharoplasty is removal of excess upper eyelid skin. If minor, a laser blepharoplasty can be done non-surgically, but if more significant,  surgery is required.  Lower eyelid blepharoplasty usually removes herniated fat pads and possibly skin.

 

Brow Lift: refers to eyebrows that begin to fall below the bony support of the orbit.  This usually occurs from aging changes related to fat loss and bone loss in the orbit and face.

 

Eyelid Malpositions: these can occur with aging or scarring.  In these cases the eyelid can either roll in causing irritation of the eyeball or roll outward with resultant dry eye. There is a large spectrum of severity with different treatments for each.

​

Skin Cancers: Develop mostly in areas of skin exposed to the sun, such as nose, cheeks and eyelids.  When basal cell carcinoma involves the eyelids, it is most common in the lower eyelid and the area of the eyelid toward the nose.  These need excision with pathological examination
