Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized field in ophthalmology that combines the precision of ophthalmology with the artistry of plastic surgery. At Atlantic Eye Institute, in Jacksonville, Florida, our cosmetic and oculoplastic specialists offer procedures and treatments that address both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyes and surrounding areas. They also offer non-surgical rejuvenation options such as Botox and Xeomin. Our goal is to help you achieve natural-looking results that not only enhance your appearance but also potentially improve your overall eye comfort.

Blepharoplasty, often called eyelid surgery, is a procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the upper eyelids. At Atlantic Eye Institute, we specialize in cosmetic upper blepharoplasty, which addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid area.
This procedure can help create a more alert, youthful, and refreshed look, often resulting in a brighter eye appearance and a more open gaze.

Ideal candidates for cosmetic upper blepharoplasty are typically individuals with excess or sagging skin in the upper eyelids. Those who feel their eyes look tired or aged due to droopy upper eyelids may also benefit from this procedure.
Good candidates are generally in good health, without serious eye conditions, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. However, the best way to determine if you're a suitable candidate is through a consultation with our experienced oculoplastic surgeon in Jacksonville.
The upper blepharoplasty procedure at Atlantic Eye Institute is a precise and carefully planned process. First, your oculoplastic surgeon will numb the eyelid area to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Then, they will carefully mark the eyelid to plan the incision, which is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Through this incision, excess skin and, if necessary, a small amount of fat is removed.
The procedure concludes with the meticulous closure of the incision using fine sutures. Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day.
If you don't like how you look after Botox, you can choose not to have it again, and the effects will eventually wear off.

Ptosis repair is an eyelid procedure that addresses drooping of the upper eyelid, a condition known
as ptosis. At Atlantic Eye Institute, our oculoplastic surgeons perform functional ptosis repairs
when medically necessary.
This procedure aims to correct drooping eyelids that may be obstructing vision. By adjusting the
muscle that lifts the eyelid, ptosis repair can improve both the appearance and functionality of the
eyelids.
If you're experiencing vision issues due to a drooping eyelid, the team at Atlantic Eye
Institute can evaluate your condition and determine if a functional ptosis repair would benefit you.
At Atlantic Eye Institute, we offer several non-surgical options to enhance your appearance and address signs of aging around the eyes and face.
Botox and Xeomin are effective, minimally invasive treatments for fine lines and wrinkles around the face. These wrinkles are often caused by the repeated activity of facial muscles used during expressions.
Both Botox and Xeomin work by allowing these overactive muscles to rest, significantly reducing or eliminating lines and wrinkles. The treatment involves small injections into specific facial muscles, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Results typically last several months, with many patients enjoying smoother skin and a more relaxed look.
Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription treatment designed to enhance eyelash growth. It can help you achieve longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes.
Latisse is applied daily to the base of the upper eyelashes using a simple at-home routine. You may begin to notice eyelash growth after about four weeks of consistent use, with full results becoming apparent after 16 weeks.
Latisse offers a non-surgical way to dramatically improve the appearance of your eyelashes, adding depth and allure to your eyes.
UpNeeq is an advanced, non-surgical treatment for acquired blepharoptosis, commonly known as droopy
eyelid. This FDA-approved eye drop works to lift the upper eyelid, opening up the eyes for a more
alert and rejuvenated appearance.
UpNeeq is particularly beneficial for those who may not want or need surgery for mild to moderate
eyelid drooping. The solution is easy to apply and provides a temporary improvement for those with
droopy eyelids, often lasting throughout the day.
It's an excellent option for those looking to enhance their eye appearance without undergoing a
surgical procedure.
