The Oculofacial Center

The Oculofacial Center focuses only on the eyelids, face, and orbits. Its surgical work covers eyelid surgery, facial surgery such as brow and forehead lifts, orbital surgery, and tear duct surgery. Its non-surgical options include neuromodulators, dermal fillers, chemical peels, blepharospasm treatment, laser skin resurfacing, and radiofrequency. Patients come from across the country and from abroad.

Eyelid work includes upper and lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, correction of eyelid malposition, eyelid reconstruction, and treatment of eyelid problems related to Bell's palsy. Upper blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure, usually done under local anesthesia with or without sedation, and most patients go home the same day. A brow lift repositions the brow and addresses forehead aging through incisions in the hairline or natural creases. A forehead lift targets sagging brows, forehead lines, and frown lines; it can be done under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, with incisions along the hairline or within the scalp. After a forehead lift, swelling and bruising usually settle within one to two weeks, and final results appear by two to three months.

Non-surgical care includes in-office neuromodulator injections that soften frown lines and crow's feet, with effects that typically last three to four months. Dermal fillers add volume to address fine lines, folds, and volume loss; each visit begins with a consultation and may include topical numbing cream or local anesthesia. Results are visible right away and settle within one to two weeks, and touch-ups may be recommended, since longevity depends on the product and area. Chemical peels are customized to improve tone, texture, and clarity. Laser skin resurfacing targets wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture, with optimal results typically appearing after one to three months. Some patients need more than one session, and the practice notes that the typical cost of $1,500 to $5,000 per session depends on laser type, depth, and area treated, so an exact plan requires a consultation.

Patients from out of town can often complete pre-operative consultations virtually, and some post-operative follow-up may be done remotely when appropriate. Most out-of-town patients stay nearby for a short recovery and are cleared to travel home within several days after surgery, depending on the procedure. Support includes scheduling coordination, pre-surgical preparation, suggestions for local accommodation, and post-operative care planning. Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, and Sunbit. Insurance applies only to reconstructive procedures, since cosmetic treatments are not covered, and the site states the practice accepts all major insurance providers.
