Enhancing Beauty Can Also Improve Eye Issues
The eyes are the key to a youthful appearance. Eyelids can also be the cause of many nagging problems, several of which have dramatic impacts. For example, droopy eyelids not only make people look older, they can obscure sight and reduce peripheral vision. Removing the excess skin rejuvenates the face and provides an important medical benefit.
Among the problems Dr. Barbarino routinely corrects through surgery or non-surgical procedures are: bags under eyes or excess skin in the upper or lower eye (Dermatochalasis), dark circles under eyes, drooping upper eye lids (Ptosis), dry eye irritation, lower lid retraction (Keratoconjunctivitis), eye lash insufficiency (Latisse®), and excessive tearing (Ectropion and Epiphora).
As a member of The Morrow Institute's team of Specialty Plastic Surgeons®, Dr. Barbarino performs the following eyelid procedures:
- Blepharoplasty (Upper eyelid repair)
