Atlanta Eyelid Oculoplastic Surgery

The eyelids are among the most delicate features of the face. They are not only the thinnest skin on the entire body, but they have important functional roles as well. It takes a skilled and talented surgeon who is trained in the latest plastic surgery techniques to reconstruct the eye to its natural form and function.

Although Dr. Stong offers the most advanced cosmetic procedures to improve the signs of aging around the eyes, he is remarkably skilled when it comes to eyelid reconstruction and facial reconstruction surgery. Oculoplastic Surgery or Eyelid Surgery can be performed on the upper or lower eyelid, or both. It is primarily used in patients who need reconstruction after minor trauma or after the removal of skin cancer defects in Mohs surgery. Dr. Stong also provides eyelid surgery for those that have a droopy upper eyelids (ptosis) or loose lower eyelids (ectropion).

Eyelid Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery is a sophisticated procedure that removes cancerous cells and cancerous growths in the skin. When performed on the eyes, it can leave patients with large, gaping wounds. At this point, Eyelid Reconstruction is needed to repair the aesthetics and function of the affected eyelid. Dr. Stong is a dual board certified facial plastic surgeon who understands the importance of aesthetics and functionality when it comes to the eyelid. Not only can he successfully restore the eyelid back to its natural appearance, but he preserves the health of the eye at all times. Eyelid reconstruction after Mohs surgery typically involves the use of skin flaps or skin grafts and cutting-edge technique.

Ptosis repair and Ectropion Repair

Eyelid reconstruction may also be needed for individuals who suffer from eyelids that have an irregular shape or contour, such as bedroom eyes (upper eyelid ptosis) and excessively loose lower eyelids (ectropion). In these cases, eyelid surgery can revitalize their appearance and restore proper function. Eyelid reconstruction can also relieve the common symptoms associated with upper eyelid ptosis or lower eyelid ectropion, including excessive tearing (epiphora), obstructed vision, and dry eye.

Dr. Stong uses careful precision and delicate artistry when tightening and repairing the lower or upper eyelids. Patients who choose ptosis repair or ectropion repair are able to regain comfortable function of the eyelids and benefit from a revitalized and natural-looking eye appearance.

Dr. Stong delivered exactly what I was looking for with my blepharoplasty. The results were suttle yet significant. People no longer ask me if I’m tired. Mission accomplished.

Three weeks ago, four days before a large party to celebrate my 20th anniversary and 50th birthday, I went to my dermatologist to get a “small” basil cell carcinoma removed from the end of my nose. The spot in question was only a couple of millimeters in diameter, so I assumed that was about what they would remove. The Mohs surgery was scheduled for 8am, so I thought I would be back at work before lunch with a couple of stiches. After the second pass, they got all of the cancer, but I was left with a hole at the end of my nose a little larger than a nickel. The dermatologist did not think a simple skin graft would yield a satisfactory result and referred me to Dr. Stong. Dr. Stong worked me in that same afternoon and rebuilt my nose using some cartilage from my ear and folding down a skin flap from the bridge of my nose. He worked me in again the day before the party and fixed my ear where it was barely noticeable so the party was able to go forward with only a band aid on my nose. Two days later, he removed the stiches from my nose. While I still have a little swelling, and I’m following his instructions to reduce/prevent scarring, I’m amazed at the result he was able to achieve. I am confident that in the end, no one will ever guess I had such a large chunk of my nose missing. I am very glad that Dr. Stong is as skilled as he is, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

My wound from Mohs surgery opened up and exposed the skull, the Dermatologist sent me to Dr. Stong to have it closed. I went with no appointment, when I got there I was taken almost immediately, the wound was closed in about an hour. and I was on my way. Dr. Stong and his staff are professional and personable. They give you the feeling that they will solve your problem with skill and efficiency, and then they do just that. I went back a week later, the staples were removed and everything was fine. This experience could not have gone better.

My experience with Dr. Stong was great. Recently suffered some injuries in a biking accident and was very concerned about scarring. The work Dr. Stong did to fix my wounds and prevent scarring was quite simply amazing!

Katie Bridgers

I am so pleased with the work that Dr. Stong did for me. I had to get some skin cancer removed below the side of my nose and he came highly recommended by my dermatologist. His work was so detailed and intricate that I do not see my scar anymore! He told me to be patient, but even after 3 months, no one could tell that I had surgery to have the spot removed. My follow up appointments were easy and he was so nice and considerate of how I wanted it to look. Which I am so pleased now that you cannot see where the incision was. His entire office is full of wonderful people who want to help you. I highly recommend Dr. Stong and his team! They were phenominal!
