Answer by David Richardson, MD
In general I recommend avoiding the “cosmetic surgery in a box” centers. As with most things in life you will generally get what you pay for: the more experienced surgeons with the more advanced technology will charge more for eyelid surgery. These are your eyes, don’t cheap out on your appearance. It’s one thing if you buy a cheap LCD TV and the pixels go bad – you can take it back and exchange it for a new one. But if you have a bad outcome with eye surgery you’re stuck with that for life.

Probably the most important decision someone who is considering cosmetic surgery must make is what surgeon to choose. Although I do not perform lid surgery, I have created a document for my cataract patients to help them in choosing a surgeon. The article can be viewed by clicking this link:

The advice in this document can be applied to choosing any surgeon in any specialty, not just cataract surgeons.

Hope this helped,

Paiton was born with hypertelorism, a condition associated with multiple cranio-facial anomalies, including abnormally-spaced eyes. Dr. Albert Woo, the chief of pediatric plastic surgery at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, undertook the complicated task of correcting this rare deformity.
