Aesthetics
People pursue cosmetic surgical and non-surgical treatments for many reasons. Some men and women wish to reduce the signs of aging. Adults and children with birth defects, eyelid disorders or injuries may need reconstructive surgery to improve their vision and appearance. When they receive expert treatment, these patients benefit from improved well-being, self-image, and in many cases, better vision.
At Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, part of the University of Miami Health System, our board-certified oculoplastic surgeons undergo advanced training. They have the skill and experience needed to perform delicate eyelid and facial procedures. If you’re considering facial surgery or non-surgical cosmetic treatments that may affect your vision, Bascom Palmer is the natural choice.
