Dr. Jay Older is a board-certified ophthalmologists who specializes eyelid surgery using radiowaves. The procedure, called radiosurgery is a new technology that essentially replaces the scalpel. The procedure involves passing high-frequency radio waves from a micro-fine wire to an antenna behind the patient. When the doctor touches the skin with the wire, he makes a very precise incision. Radiosurgery allows the doctor to cut and seal blood vessels simultaneously. This causes very little damage to surrounding tissue. With radiosurgery, patients incur less bleeding, rapid healing and greater comfort.
Radiosurgery can help to correct a number of cosmetic eye problems including unwanted bags or excess skin around the upper or lower eyelids; drooping eyelids; growths on the eyelids; and eyelid malformations, such as eyelids turning toward or away from the eyes.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is usually an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation. Most cases are performed in our office surgery suite. In some cases, we may choose to perform the procedure in an ambulatory surgical center. Tissue adhesives may also be used in place of sutures for ‘stitchless’ results. With reduced pain and fast recovery, than traditional surgery, most patients return to work within a few days.
Dr. Jay Justin Older is extremely skilled in caring for the delicate tissue and structures around the eyes, specializing in upper and lower eyelifts and eyebrow lifts. He realizes that the appearance is important, but never loses sight of the fact that the health of your eyes comes first.
Dr. Older is board certified in ophthalmology and a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology from which he received both the Honor Award and the Senior Honor Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Education. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is past president of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and a member of the European Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
