Services
Asian Eyelid Surgery
Asian eyelid surgery creates a natural crease while preserving ethnic features. Dr. Carey tailors each procedure to individual anatomy, enhancing eye appearance without compromising cultural identity. Patients achieve balanced, harmonious results that maintain their unique characteristics.
Cosmetic Blepharoplasty
Cosmetic blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat for a rejuvenated appearance. This procedure addresses droopy or baggy eyelids, reducing signs of aging while improving peripheral vision. Results create a more alert, youthful facial expression through precise surgical techniques.
Ptosis Repair
Ptosis repair corrects drooping eyelids that impair vision and cause eye strain. Dr. Carey restores natural eyelid position through surgical adjustment of the levator muscle. This improves both functional vision and facial symmetry for a refreshed appearance.
Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment
Thyroid eye disease treatment addresses autoimmune-related eye bulging and double vision. Dr. Carey employs surgical and non-surgical approaches to reduce inflammation, improve eye alignment, and restore orbital structure for enhanced comfort and appearance.
Tear Drainage Surgery
Tear drainage surgery resolves blocked nasolacrimal ducts causing chronic tearing. Dr. Carey creates new drainage pathways to alleviate discomfort and prevent infections. This restores normal tear flow while maintaining facial aesthetics through minimally invasive techniques.
