PERIORBITAL REJUVENATION
Surgical and Non-Surgical
The eyes are treated as one area, not a single procedure. Multiple periorbital aesthetic concerns are treated with holistic interventions ranging from medical-grade skincare, supplements, and in-clinic treatments, to Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, when indicated.

“
After an accident that left a fair gash close to my eye, Dr Douglas handled everything with complete professionalism and empathy — explaining how he would achieve the best outcome, always with a calm and kind bedside manner. It's been six weeks since the surgery and the scar is healing incredibly well. Very grateful for his incredible skill.

SURGICAL INSIGHT
