Blepharoplasty (upper & lower eyelid)

As you age, your eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess fat may gather above or below your eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under your eyes. Severely sagging skin around your eyes can impact both your appearance and peripheral (side) vision. Blepharoplasty is a common eye surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, muscle and fat. Blepharoplasty can be performed on your upper or lower eyelid, or both. This procedure can improve your vision and rejuvenate your youthful appearance!

Ptosis Repair

Ptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid that covers part of the pupil. Ptosis impairs vision  and causes a tired, sleepy appearance. Ptosis repair can improve your sight and also provide a more youthful, vibrant appearance!

Ectropion

Ectropion is a condition in which the eyelid turns outward. This leaves the inner eyelid surface exposed and prone to irritation. Older adults are most commonly affected, and generally only lower eyelids. Evaluation and treatment is important as ectropion leaves your cornea irritated and exposed, making it more susceptible to drying. The result can be abrasions and ulcers on the cornea, which can threaten your vision. Ectropion repair can aid in eye comfort, eye health and appearance!

​

Entropion

Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid turns inward. This causes irritation and discomfort as your eyelashes and skin rub against the eye surface. The eyelid may be turned inward all the time, or may turn in when blinking or closing your eyes tightly. Older adults are most commonly affected, and generally only lower eyelids. Untreated, entropion can cause damage to the cornea, eye infections, and vision loss. Entropion repair can aid in eye comfort, eye health and appearance!
