Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eyelids by removing excess skin and fat, reducing puffiness, and creating a refreshed appearance. Ideal for patients with mature or fatigued-looking eyes, this procedure enhances both aesthetics and self-confidence. Our specialists ensure natural results through precise, individualized techniques.
Brow Lift
Brow lifts address sagging brows and deep forehead lines, restoring a youthful contour to the upper face. By lifting and tightening the brow area, this procedure alleviates the appearance of fatigue or anger, offering long-lasting rejuvenation tailored to each patient's facial structure.
Botox & Fillers
Neurotoxins like BOTOX and dermal fillers provide non-surgical facial rejuvenation by smoothing wrinkles and restoring volume. These quick, low-intervention treatments target dynamic lines and facial hollows, delivering immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime for busy patients.
Droopy Eyelids
Ptosis repair corrects drooping eyelids that impair vision or aesthetics. Our surgeons address underlying muscle or tendon issues, restoring both function and symmetry. This procedure combines medical precision with cosmetic sensitivity to improve appearance and visual clarity.
Tearing Disorders
Tearing disorder treatments address chronic watery eyes caused by blocked tear ducts or anatomical issues. Our specialists employ advanced techniques like dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) to restore proper drainage, alleviating discomfort and preventing recurrent infections with lasting functional improvement.

Report
Dr Nelson, screwed up a basic 101 surgery on my left eye lid. He refused to fix it and make it right. The doctor that fixed it literally Laughed at me when I told him Dr Nelson was an actually eye surgeon. The doctor that fixed Dr Nelson's work was a plastic surgeon who rarely worked on eye lids but said it was so basic anyone could fix it. Dr Nelson needs to retire

Report
Dr Nelson did surgery on both eye lids, a few years ago and I couldn't believe the excellent results. Yesterday He changed the direction of a tear duct. He is courteous, as as his entire staff, and accurate in his surgeries, and does complete followup.
