Areas of Expertise in Eyelid Surgery

For patients whose prior surgery resulted in an unnatural or unsatisfactory appearance. Careful evaluation of existing scar tissue and fascia is required before planning revision.

Reduction of under-eye bags and excess fat, along with correction of age-related lower eyelid skin laxity.

Adjusting the inner corner of the eye to achieve overall proportion, often combined with double eyelid surgery for a harmonious result.

Correction of eyelid abnormalities related to thyroid eye disease, such as upper eyelid retraction — a specific research focus of Dr. Saonanon (Contralateral Mueller's Muscle-Conjunctiva Resection, Orbit).
