Trust the Way You Look to the Eye Surgeon
Nicholas J. Schmitt, MD
Time, genetics, and environment (such as sun damage) all play a role in how your face ages. "Volume loss" causes wrinkles to appear in the skin as collagen, fat, and bone are lost over time.
Injectables such as Restylane®, BOTOX®, and JUVÉDERM™ are therapies that can address the underlying issues and restore a more youthful appearance to your face. Surgical treatments such as Brow lift surgery and cosmetic eyelid surgery are also effective options.
And remember, whatever you decide, you can feel good about trusting the way you look to the Eye Surgeon — Nicholas J. Schmitt, MD.

For many people, lines and wrinkles on facial skin are prominent enough to be bothersome, but not severe enough to warrant surgery such as a face lift. Fortunately, a range of cosmetic injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers such as Restylane® and JUVÉDERM™ are available to address such problems quickly, effectively, and with minimal discomfort. Preventative skin care regimens, including products from the Obagi® line, can also delay or reverse the effects of aging. LATISSE®, a newly available medicine, can even lengthen and thicken your eyelashes.
Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons such as Dr. Schmitt are also trained to perform injections with BOTOX® and fillers such as Restylane®, JUVÉDERM™, and Perlane® in the sensitive areas of the face including the eyelids, cheeks, brows, crows feet, and under-eye area.
In fact, oculofacial plastic surgeons have the ideal credentials to specialize exactly in this area. Dr. Schmitt is experienced with fillers and BOTOX® treatments and is highly knowledgeable with the anatomy and physiology of the eyelids and face.

Surgical options include upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, ptosis (eyelid droop) repair, and brow lift.
Blepharoplasty (Blepharo- means “eyelid”, and –plasty means “change”) is the most commonly performed facial plastic surgery procedure. This is because the eyelids account for a large part of the expressiveness of the face. When you look at someone, you look at his or her eyes. If the eyelids are sagging, droopy, or puffy, the face will look fatigued, sad, and tired despite good health and adequate rest. If the eyes look bright and alert, an otherwise aging face will appear rejuvenated. Thus, blepharoplasty is a procedure that can rejuvenate the face as well as the eyes.
Years ago, treatment focused on aggressive skin and fat removal on every patient. This approach has lead to unnecessary complications, such as lid retraction after excessive skin removal causing chronically irritated eyes, and a sunken (skeletonized) appearance to the eye socket after excessive fat removal. These results, unfortunately, create a more aged appearance - the direct opposite what was intended.
Today, blepharoplasty is tailored individually for each patient. The right combination of skin removal, skin resurfacing, fat removal, fat repositioning, and lid tightening is applied to achieve a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance in each individual patient. Sometimes, less is more.
