Dr. Durboraw commonly addresses problems of the eyelids with surgery, from excess eyelid skin and drooping eyelids to malpositions of the eyelids. Skin cancer of the eyelids and surrounding area can become a complex reconstructive undertaking and there is no one more qualified than Dr. Durboraw in the surrounding region.
Ptosis is a condition where the eyelid margin has descended and is obscuring the pupil of your eye and your peripheral vision. People often describe their eyes as looking “half mast” when they are trying to fully open their eyes. Sometimes this is combined with excess eyelid skin which can be addressed simultaneously. If your peripheral vision is significantly obstructed, your insurance company will pay for the surgical repair of this condition. Make an appointment for evaluation.
Aging of the lower lids can often make patients feel they appear tired or “drawn”. Usually the problem involves a combination of excess eyelid skin and bulging fat pockets of the lower lid which accentuate the tear trough and exacerbate the appearance of dark circles. Although this is not considered medically necessary and will not be covered by your insurance, these problems can often be corrected through surgery. Make an appointment for evaluation.
