Eyelid surgery work

His bio page lists "Cosmetic and Reconstructive surgery of the forehead, eyelids and mid-face," "Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty, Ptosis Repair, Ectropion and Entropion Repair)," skin cancer/Mohs reconstruction and tear duct reconstruction among his professional interests (bio).

  • Ptosis. Surgical tightening or repositioning of eyelid muscles for drooping upper eyelids caused by muscle laxity.
  • Brow lift. Minimally invasive repositioning of the brows for a sagging or heavy brow.
  • Ectropion and entropion repair. Tightening and repositioning the eyelid for outward- or inward-turning lids.
  • Tear duct reconstruction and skin cancer removal/Mohs reconstruction around the eyes. (all: oculoplastics)
