Reconstructive Eyelid Surgery

In addition to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Kapadia has a large practice devoted to functional and reconstructive oculoplastic surgery. In the non-cosmetic eyelid surgery realm, he sees patients who have medical problems with their eyelids which cause them ocular discomfort, eye irritation or difficulty seeing. For example, when eyelids rotate inward, eyelashes constantly scratch the eye and cause eye pain and redness. Many older patients have eyelids which droop enough that they obstruct their vision. A major portion of my practice focuses on reconstruction of eyelids after the excision of skin cancers around the eye. The "questions" page on this website has more information about eyelid skin cancers.
