Which Doctor is Best for Eyelid Surgery?
This question can be answered simply but unfortunately we live at a time of terribly unprofessional
behavior by a group of general plastic surgeons who are openly misinforming the public by
using the term “board certification” inaccurately.
The way to determine the best doctor for you to perform your eyelid surgery is by learning
about the doctor’s background training and areas of practice focus.
It is no secret that background training in eyelid surgery is far more extensive and complex
in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery when compared to the background training of general plastic
surgeons.
However, background training is still a starting point and individual factors such as artistic
abilities and technical skills are not standardized in any field.
In addition, training begins the process but actual daily practice ultimately determines
level of mastery.
As a Cosmetic Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon for over 20 years, people who come to see
us rapidly understand by speaking to our staff and myself how much eyelid surgery we perform
and the style in which I do these procedures.
When choosing your surgeon, review their background training, their practice focus and their results
so you can feel confident about your decision.
