Why NVISION instead of a traditional plastic surgeon?
We tend to understand eyes better than general plastic surgeons, and have more respect and understanding of the importance of the function of the eyelids as related to your eyes and vision.
We often express to our patients, “the eyelids are the windshield wipers to your eyes, and we need to respect the importance of preserving that function.” -
How does age affect the appearance of my eyes?
As we mature, the delicate skin around the eyes can appear puffy, saggy, or droopy. Our eyelid skin stretches and the muscles around the eyes weaken. Not only will this natural aging process affect how your eyes look, it can also affect your general vision, making it harder to do the things you love.

How is laser surgery different than other surgical procedures?
Most surgery centers utilize the scalpel method, leading to more bruising and swelling. We utilize the CO2 laser; an advantage because:
- The laser provides unparalleled precision
- The laser cauterizes blood vessels along the way, giving the surgeon improved visibility into the aesthetics of the procedure
- Significantly less bruising because the blood vessels are more effectively cauterized and healing begins immediately
