Blepharoplasty Surgery
This surgical procedure addresses droopy or sagging eyelids by removing excess skin and fat while tightening underlying muscles. Ideal for patients seeking improved vision or enhanced facial aesthetics, it specifically targets upper or lower eyelid concerns. Our surgeons employ advanced techniques to create natural-looking results that restore youthful contours while maintaining functional integrity of the eyelid structures.
Ptosis Repair
Specialized correction for drooping upper eyelids caused by muscle weakness or nerve damage. Our surgeons use precise techniques to elevate eyelid position, improving both visual field and cosmetic appearance. The procedure is tailored to each patient's anatomy, addressing congenital cases in children or age-related ptosis in adults through minimally invasive approaches that prioritize long-term functional outcomes.
Tear Duct Surgery
Treatment for blocked tear ducts using advanced surgical techniques to restore proper drainage. We specialize in endoscopic approaches that eliminate external scarring while addressing chronic tearing and recurrent infections. The procedure benefits patients of all ages, from infants with congenital blockages to adults with trauma-induced obstructions, using state-of-the-art instrumentation for optimal success rates.
Orbital Decompression
Precision surgery for thyroid eye disease patients, creating space in the eye socket to relieve pressure and improve eye alignment. Our approach balances functional improvement with aesthetic considerations, using CT-guided planning to achieve optimal exophthalmos reduction. The procedure addresses vision-threatening complications while restoring natural facial symmetry through carefully calculated bone removal techniques.
Facial Trauma Repair
Comprehensive management of eyelid, orbital, and midface injuries from trauma. Our surgeons employ microsurgical techniques for laceration repair and 3D imaging for fracture reconstruction, prioritizing functional restoration alongside cosmetic outcomes. The service treats both acute injuries and delayed complications, using specialized approaches for complex cases involving nerve damage or soft tissue defects.

Very professional work and follow up after surgery. Mine was a required surgery and not elective and I am VERY pleased with the outcome and the attention. This was for my eyelid and a scary thing to mess with, but they did great work.

Dr. Klapper did an amazing job on my daughters eye ptosis surgery. He, along with his office staff, was genuinely kind & informative throughout the entire process- from our first consultation to her post surgery check up. We are completely satisfied & happy with her results- not only physically but also the whole emotional/self esteem aspect. We are so thankful for Dr. Klapper & his willingness to use his expertise & talent to help our daughter.
