Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty corrects droopy eyelids and removes excess skin or fat to improve vision and appearance. Ideal for patients with sagging or tired-looking eyes, this procedure enhances facial symmetry and reduces eye strain. Our technique ensures minimal scarring and natural results.
Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic temporarily smooths facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. Commonly used for crows feet and forehead lines, it offers quick, non-surgical rejuvenation. Results appear within days and last up to four months with minimal downtime.
Lacrimal Surgery
Lacrimal surgery addresses blocked tear ducts or chronic tearing to restore proper drainage. This procedure alleviates discomfort and prevents infections, improving eye health and reducing excessive tearing in patients with lacrimal system disorders.
Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation treatments like chemical peels and laser therapy reverse sun damage and aging signs. These non-invasive options enhance skin texture, tone, and clarity, promoting a youthful glow through collagen stimulation and cell turnover.
Orbital Reconstruction
Orbital reconstruction corrects fractures or deformities in the eye socket to restore function and appearance. Tailored to trauma or disease-related defects, this surgery ensures proper eye positioning and protects ocular health with precise anatomical restoration.

Questions
What is oculoplastic surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery focuses on eyelid, orbital, and facial structures for medical and cosmetic improvements. It addresses functional issues like vision obstruction and enhances facial aesthetics through precise techniques.
What cosmetic treatments are available?
We offer Botox, facial fillers, chemical peels, HydraFacial, and laser skin treatments. These options target wrinkles, skin texture, and tone to complement surgical outcomes or provide standalone rejuvenation.
Does insurance cover eyelid surgery?
Medically necessary procedures like ptosis repair may be covered. Cosmetic surgeries are typically self-pay. Our staff assists in verifying insurance benefits and discussing financing options.
What is the recovery time for blepharoplasty?
Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days. Swelling and bruising subside gradually, with final results appearing after several weeks. Post-operative care includes cold compresses and avoiding strenuous activity.
Are non-surgical options available?
Yes, we provide injectables and skin treatments for patients seeking minimal downtime. These options address fine lines, volume loss, and skin texture concerns without surgery.

The doctor is very nice. I chose her because of her credentials, but she botched my Botox which led to a drooping eyelid. She was unable to see me because her receptionist said she was fully booked and she was leaving for vacation the next day. I was offered a cancellation spot but I had another appointment I couldn't miss. I will not be going back

Came here for my first Halo treatment about 6 months ago. Denise was the doctor who did my laser procedure and she is absolutely amazing. She wanted to ensure I was satisfied with the treatment and results. We kept in contact almost everyday post treatment for a couple weeks to make sure my skin was healing properly. I couldn't have been more happy with the results from this procedure. It shrunk my pore size significantly and helped with acne scarring and overall skin texture. Not to mention my collagen improved over time. I am so grateful that I can finally feel confident without makeup.

I was referred to Desert Eyesthetics by my general eye center. They called to set up the appointment for me. Initially I was told at the time of the first call that they didn't take my version of Medicare. But the appointment was scheduled and I received a call from DE, saying that they took my version of Medicare. They asked for both my Medicare card and my Humana PPO, which I have used at the Mayo Clinic, for a specialist who is a Dermatologist. I have a very serious skin disease which is similar to having a severe sunburn, that does not heal, so my chronic pain is 24/7. Anyway they
