Innovation/Invention in Eyelid Surgery: Development of the upper eyelid blepharoplasty technique, excising excess skin and muscle using one precise cut. This provides optimal anatomic preservation of the pretarsal contour and prevents development of a hollow sulcus deformity.
-
Expertise in Asian Eyelid Surgery: The transconjunctival repositioning of fat with laser surgery (CO2 laser) provides an ideal method to minimize the potential for the patient to develop ectropion. Medial epicanthoplasty and lateral canthopexy can also be performed to create a natural appearance to the eyelids.
