Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery encompasses a broad range of conditions affecting the upper and lower eyelids — from cosmetic and functional excess skin to drooping, laxity, tumors, and trauma. Oculoplastic surgeons are uniquely trained in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery to address these conditions with precision.
Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty ("eye lift") — cosmetic and functional correction of excess eyelid skin and fat.
Learn more →Ptosis
Repair of drooping upper eyelids (ptosis) — both cosmetic and functional correction of levator muscle weakness.
Learn more →Eyelid Laxity
Treatment of lax or loose eyelids — ectropion, entropion, floppy eyelid syndrome — causing discomfort, tearing, or corneal exposure.
Learn more →Lagophthalmos
Treatment of lagophthalmos — incomplete eyelid closure from facial nerve palsy or Bell's palsy — to protect the cornea and restore function.
Learn more →Skin Tumors
Diagnosis and surgical removal of benign and malignant eyelid skin tumors with reconstruction — including basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma.
Learn more →Congenital
Surgical correction of congenital eyelid and orbital conditions present from birth — ptosis, blocked tear ducts, hemangiomas, and more.
Learn more →Trauma
Surgical repair of eyelid, orbital, and lacrimal trauma — from minor lacerations to complex orbital fractures and reconstruction.
Learn more →Infections
