Why is it important to have eyelid surgery performed by a facial plastic surgeon?
A high degree of surgical training is necessary if a doctor is to operate near the eyes safely. Most plastic surgeons do not specialize in facial plastic surgery and may perform as few as ten blepharoplasty surgeries in a year. Dr. Robinson has performed hundreds of eyelid surgeries and has hundreds of patients who can testify to his expertise. His double board-certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology (head and neck surgery) is a testament to Dr. Robinson’s comprehensive knowledge of facial function and aesthetics. But the quality of the aesthetic results is not the only reason to seek an expert facial plastic surgeon. Cosmetic surgery is still surgery, and it therefore carries some risks if proper precautions are not taken; with this in mind, Dr. Robinson makes patient health his first priority.
