Blepharoplasty , or lid tucks, is the most common cosmetic surgery done. Upper and lower lid blepharoplasties are also done with the latest CO2 laser to remove the tired, aged look of extra skin and bulges of the eyelids. These often can be done in the office with minimal anesthesia. As expected, these surgeries are considered cosmetic and are not covered by insurance. Dr Zucker, an experienced ophthalmologist and surgeon, is making this report available free to anyone who requests a copy.
Skin cancers are very common on the eyelid and facial skin due to chronic sun exposure.
We have seen skin cancers in 30 year olds but they are much more common as we age into our 60's and 70's. Any skin lesion that is not healing or is bleeding or growing needs to be examined and biopsied. Dr. Zucker works with local pathologists and dermatologists to accurately diagnose and remove skin cancers then reconstruct the tissues for the best possible results. Tearing is a very common problem. This may be due to many things but may be the result of a tear duct infection and blockage.
