Services
Upper Eyelid Surgery
This procedure addresses excess skin and fat deposits on the upper eyelids to restore a youthful appearance. Ideal for patients seeking improved peripheral vision or a refreshed look, it tightens skin while preserving natural contours. Our technique prioritizes minimal scarring and long-lasting results.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Designed to eliminate under-eye bags and reduce signs of fatigue, this surgery targets excess fat and loose skin. Patients achieve smoother transitions between the eyes and face, with options for skin resurfacing to enhance outcomes. Recovery is typically straightforward with visible improvements within weeks.
Functional Blepharoplasty
This corrective procedure alleviates obstructed vision caused by drooping eyelids. By removing excess tissue that impairs sight, patients regain full functionality while achieving a more alert appearance. Insurance may cover portions of this medically necessary intervention.
Ptosis Treatment
Targeting drooping eyelids caused by muscle weakness, this treatment restores proper eyelid position and visual clarity. Our surgical approach strengthens the lifting muscles to correct asymmetry and improve both aesthetics and functional vision for long-term relief.
Eyelid Reconstruction
Addressing defects from trauma, disease, or previous surgeries, this service rebuilds eyelid structure and function. Using advanced techniques, we restore protective eye function while maintaining natural aesthetics, often combining skin grafts or tissue rearrangement for optimal outcomes.

Dr Tanenbaum is an exemplary eye surgeon who is held in very high regard by his colleagues at the University of Miami Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. I had the great pleasure of having a consultation with him this morning and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional. He answered my questions and provided me with the information I needed. Top notch doc! Highly recommend.

Report
I originally had bilateral blepharoplasty in Nov 2018 - and then again in 2019 (in consult). I have turned to using eyeglasses. My eyes are always swollen, puffy, and I look tired all the time. I do not recommend Dr. Tanenbaum. This is not what I expected as much as he says it is 90% better. I feel cheated. Find another doctor.

Report
I recently had upper eyelid surgery for cosmetic reasons. I went to several plastic surgeons for consultations prior to choosing Dr. Tanenbaum. It was the best decision ever. The level of professionalism and skill is beyond anything I could have asked for. My surgery and recovery could not have gone any better. May God bless him and especially his hands!

Dr. Tanenbaum came highly recommended by several friends of mine. I had bilateral Blepharoplasty in October 2020 and Im very pleased with the results. My eyes look refreshed and so natural nobody thinks I had surgery. Dr. Tanenbaum is very professional, take time with every patient and explain what would happen in every stage after the surgery. After years considering which surgeon to go to Im glad I chose him.
