Boston Eyelid Surgery – Bleparoplasty

Boston Blepharoplasty patients are seeking to improve the appearance of drooping skin around the eyes. Eyelid surgery can lift drooping upper lids and reduce the puffy bags that form below your eyes – features that may be making you look older and more tired than you feel. Blepharoplasty is one of the many facial rejuvenation procedures offered by Dr. Bartlett.

Some patients benefit from choosing to have other reshaping facial surgery performed at the same time as their eyelid surgery. Some of the most common procedures performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery include a forehead lift, face lift and/or improvements to the nose & chin.

For more information regarding Blepharoplasty, please contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Bartlett. He will be happy to discuss blepharoplasty and other facial rejuvenation procedures to help you determine which procedures will produce the results you desire.

Ear Surgery Boston

Exceedingly protruding ears can be a source of pain and embarrassment from childhood on. Usually performed under local anesthetic, an otoplasty consists of repositioning the ears through an incision in the back. Additionally depending on your needs, your cartilage may be resculpted or removed to create a more sleek appearance. Dr. Bartlett may also use stitches to form the ear cartilage into a more pleasing position. At our Boston practice, we provide immediate results and most likely a rapid return to your normal activities. Ear surgery or otoplasty can typically be performed as soon as the ears have stopped growing, usually around age four. Why wait for years of negative attention and difficulty?
At our Boston cosmetic surgery practice, otoplasty is an extraordinarily effective procedure which can have the ultimate impact on a child’s or adult’s self-confidence. Click here to request a consultation with Dr. Bartlett today.
