Options for Eyelid Enhancement
Patients have various surgical and non-surgical options for eyelid enhancement. Dr. Eftekhari offers procedures such as upper and lower blepharoplasty, tailored to your unique needs. Additionally, non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers can complement surgical outcomes.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery?
