Reconstructive Procedures

Residents of the San Luis Obispo, Fresno and Santa Barbara areas who seek facial plastic surgery to correct facial problems can turn to Stallman Cosmetic Surgery with confidence. Dr. Stallman has advanced subspecialty training in the treatment of oculoplastic and orbital disorders. These are treated in a fashion which addresses the fundamental problem while achieving an aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Dr. Stallman’s reconstructive procedures include:

• Correction of excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis), affecting vision. This is accomplished through blepharoplasty and brow lift surgery.
  
  
• Correction of weak upper eyelids (acquired or congenital ptosis) such that the lid margin rests too low and blocks vision. Upper lid muscles are tightened so as to elevate the lid.
  
  
• Correction of eyelids that turn in (entropion) or eyelids that sag outward (ectropion). Sometimes these conditions may be due to natural age-related relaxation of eyelid tissues. Other times they may be due to scarring from sun damage, trauma, burns or other diseases (cicatricial ectropion or entropion). These may be repaired with a variety of eyelid tightening procedures and will sometimes require grafting of skin or mucus membranes and mid-cheek elevating procedures.
  
  
• Excision of skin cancers.
  
  
• Repair of eyelid defects following trauma or surgery for skin cancer.
  
  
• Tear duct (lacrimal) surgery.
  
  
• Treatment of orbital diseases and surgery for orbital tumors.
  
  
• Treatment and surgery for orbital fractures.
  
  
• Treatment and surgery for thyroid related eyelid and orbital disease.
  
  
• Repair of problems stemming from prior cosmetic surgery.
  
  
• Treatment and surgery for patients with Bells Palsy or facial paralysis from other causes.
  
  
• Treatment for blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and other facial dystonias.
  
  
• Surgery for the anophthalmic patient. Surgery for patients who need removal of blind eyes with repair by eye socket implants.
