The Eyelid Specialist Who Is Also an Ophthalmologist: The Critical Difference

In facial aesthetics, no area is more intricate than the eyes. Choosing the right surgeon is essential. Dr. Ahmad is a board-certified ophthalmologist with two years of advanced fellowship training from the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS).

This rare combination of medical and surgical expertise gives him a complete understanding of how eye function and eyelid aesthetics work together. It ensures results that are both refined and safe, protecting eye health while maintaining natural expression. Whether performing cosmetic enhancement or reconstructive surgery after skin cancer, Dr. Ahmad’s focused approach provides the highest level of specialized care.

A Curated Suite of Services for Evanston Residents

Dr. Ahmad offers a full range of surgical and non-surgical treatments that restore youth, function, and confidence. Every plan is designed for balanced, natural-looking results that enhance your individual features.

  • Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

    As a premier eyelid specialist, Dr. Ahmad masterfully addresses concerns of aging around the eyes.

    • Corrects drooping or “hooded” eyelids that cause a tired look and may interfere with vision.

    • Eliminates under-eye bags and smooths contours, often through a discreet internal incision to avoid visible scarring.

  • Reconstructive & Functional Eyelid Surgery

    • This specialized surgery lifts an upper eyelid that has fallen, improving vision and creating a more alert, symmetrical appearance. This procedure is often covered by medical insurance.

    • For patients unsatisfied with the results of a previous surgery performed elsewhere, Dr. Ahmad offers expert revisional procedures to correct asymmetry, scarring, and functional issues.

    • Meticulously restores the eyelid's form and function following skin cancer removal (Mohs surgery) or trauma.

  • Non-Surgical Treatments

    For many Evanston patients, the goal is a refreshed, natural appearance that radiates vitality. By focusing on the eye area — the face’s most expressive feature — Dr. Ahmad achieves balanced rejuvenation that delivers the impact of a full facelift without the extensive surgery. He often combines precise surgical techniques with advanced non-surgical treatments to address every dimension of facial aging.
