Services
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) addresses aging signs around the eyes by removing excess skin and fat deposits. Dr. Glavas employs advanced techniques for both upper and lower eyelids, offering traditional incisional methods and laser-assisted approaches that minimize downtime. Patients benefit from improved vision obstruction and natural rejuvenation while maintaining facial expressions.
Facial Injections
Facial Injections include Botox, Juvederm, and Restylane treatments that reduce wrinkles and restore facial volume. Dr. Glavas's expertise ensures precise placement for natural-looking results that soften expression lines and enhance lip contours with FDA-approved products tailored to each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing uses Fractional CO2 technology to improve skin texture and tone. This treatment effectively reduces fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars through controlled thermal injury that stimulates collagen production while maintaining minimal recovery periods for busy patients.
Facelift
Facelift procedures combine endoscopic and traditional techniques to restore youthful facial contours. Dr. Glavas specializes in MACS lifts and mid-facelifts that address jowling and neck laxity through minimal incisions while preserving natural facial expressions and achieving long-lasting results.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery addresses congenital defects, trauma injuries, and disease-related deformities affecting the eyelids and orbital structures. Dr. Glavas combines functional restoration with aesthetic considerations for conditions including ptosis, ectropion, and post-cancer reconstruction, using precision techniques that maintain eye health and natural appearance.

Report
My care was excellent! I was seen emergently for eye trauma, with a referral from a hospital Emergency Dept. It was a Saturday afternoon. Dr Glavas did a wonderful job of keeping me calm, while he repaired multiple issues in and around my eye. Dr Glavas delivers highly skilled care and he has a great bedside manner. I would recommend him to anyone with an eye issue or injury. My injury healed with no residual problems, thanks to his care.

Report
I had eyelid surgery in 2019 and was very happy with the results from then to now. Dr. Glavas and his staff are wonderful, caring and experienced. One of my main concerns when having this surgery was the infection rate. I had no infection issues. If I have any further surgery I will certainly return to Dr. Glavas. He's the best!

The results of my surgery several years ago are still there; everyone tells me how well I look and how much younger. I so appreciate Dr. Glavas' careful attention and my wonderful outcome.
