Cosmetic Eye Surgery

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Botox | Galloway | Manahawkin | MargateBotox is a non-surgical procedure that smoothes out the deep, persistent wrinkles between the eyebrows and around the eyes that develop over time. One ten minute treatment - a few tiny injections - relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed for up to six months.

Approved by the FDA, Botox consists of natural purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. Botox blocks transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles. No anesthesia is required and most patients return to work and/or their normal activity that very same day. Botox means being able to frown, smile or look surprised without the furrows, creases and wrinkles. You can come in and learn about Botox and if you’re a candidate, get a treatment that very same day. Best of all, Botox is one of the least expensive facial cosmetic procedures in the country.

Blepharoplasty

Also known as Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery, Blepharoplasty is designed to cosmetically improve the area around the eyes. The procedure can dramatically alter this area so that the individual appears significantly younger. In a procedure which lasts approximately 30 minutes per lid and which requires only local anesthetic, a portion of the eyelid skin and underlying fatty tissue is surgically removed. This is one of our most common plastic surgeries performed.

Droopy Eyelid Correction (Ptosis Treatment)

Ptosis (droopiness) is a common condition that can affect the upper eyelid of one or both eyes as a result of aging, a congenital defect, muscle deformity or neurological disorder.This condition can occur in patients of all ages, but is most common in older patients and will likely continue to worsen with age.

In addition to drooping of the eyelids, patients with ptosis may also experience:

  • Difficulty closing the eye or blinking
  • Tearing
  • Eye fatigue
  • Double vision

Patients may seek treatment for droopy eyelids for cosmetic and/or medical purposes. Severe drooping may obstruct vision as the eyelid gradually droops lower and lower, eventually covering the eye. Other patients are simply bothered by the appearance of their eyelids. Treatment for this condition usually involves eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty. This procedure involves lifting the eyelid and reattaching it to a higher location on the face.
