Insight Eye Specialists
There are a variety of procedures that our ophthalmologists can perform to help restore a more youthful appearance while improving function. Eyelid surgeries can be used to treat conditions causing:
- Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
- Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
- Bags under the eyes
- Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
Having an eyelid problem can be painful, limit your vision and affect your appearance. Many people have eyelid problems such as; droopy eyelids, extra eyelid skin, or eyelids that turn inward or outward.
Dr. Patel is our ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive specialist. He is specialized in the medical care of the eye and surrounding structures, and he is experienced in complex medical and surgical cases of eyelids, tear draining systems, orbits, and adjacent face.
