Comprehensive Eyelid & Facial Rejuvenation Services at Our Lisle Clinic

At our new Lisle office, Dr. Amjad Z. Ahmad offers a complete spectrum of advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments. These services are meticulously designed to restore function, rejuvenate appearance, and enhance natural beauty. Recognizing that each patient is unique, every treatment plan is carefully tailored to individual needs, anatomical considerations, and aesthetic aspirations, ensuring a personalized path to achieving desired outcomes.

The detailed explanations of how Dr. Ahmad approaches specific procedures, such as favoring an internal incision for lower blepharoplasty to avoid external scars, his cautious and individualized use of dermal fillers, or pre-treating skin of color before laser resurfacing, demonstrate a thoughtful, patient-specific, and advanced methodology.

  • Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery: Artistry for a Refreshed You

    Cosmetic eyelid surgery with Dr. Ahmad aims to address age-related concerns and enhance the eye's inherent beauty, resulting in a naturally refreshed and more youthful appearance.

    • This procedure expertly corrects drooping or hooding of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and, when necessary, small amounts of fat. The result is a more alert, vibrant, and youthful look. Dr. Ahmad's refined technique is focused on achieving a natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance of the entire upper eyelid complex, avoiding an "overdone" look.

    • Designed to reduce under-eye puffiness, bags, and improve skin tightness, this surgery can dramatically rejuvenate the lower eyelid area. Dr. Ahmad frequently utilizes an internal (transconjunctival) incision, hidden inside the eyelid, to minimize visible scarring. This approach is often combined with CO2 laser resurfacing to achieve optimal improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness.

    • Ptosis, or a genuinely drooping upper eyelid caused by weakened or detached lifting muscles, can impair vision and create a tired appearance. Dr. Ahmad performs specialized surgical repair to correct this condition, improving the field of vision and restoring a more open, symmetrical, and engaging eye appearance. A careful assessment of the underlying cause of ptosis guides the tailored surgical approach.

    • For individuals who are unsatisfied with the results of previous eyelid surgery performed elsewhere, Dr. Ahmad offers expert revisional procedures. He approaches these complex cases with a conservative, thoughtful methodology, meticulously analyzing the existing concerns to improve symmetry, address functional issues, and achieve the originally desired aesthetic outcome.

  • Reconstructive Eyelid Surgery: Restoring Form and Function

    Reconstructive surgery is essential for repairing damage resulting from trauma, skin cancer removal, or congenital conditions, with the dual goals of restoring normal eyelid function and a natural aesthetic appearance.

    • Dr. Ahmad possesses specialized expertise in performing complex eyelid reconstructions following the removal of skin cancers, often after Mohs surgery. He meticulously restores both the eyelid's vital protective function and its natural appearance, employing advanced techniques such as precisely designed skin grafts and local flaps to achieve the best possible outcome.

    • This procedure corrects an outward-turning lower eyelid, which can lead to dryness, irritation, and tearing. Dr. Ahmad often utilizes techniques to tighten the supporting structures of the eyelid, restoring its normal position against the eye, thereby protecting the ocular surface and improving comfort.

    • Entropion, an inward-turning eyelid, causes eyelashes to rub against the cornea, leading to irritation and potential damage. Surgical correction by Dr. Ahmad addresses the underlying muscular or tissue issues to reposition the eyelid margin correctly, alleviating discomfort and protecting eye health.

    • Blocked tear ducts can cause persistent, troublesome tearing (epiphora) or recurrent infections. Dr. Ahmad performs specialized surgery to create a new drainage pathway for tears, effectively resolving these symptoms and restoring normal tear flow. Patient testimonials attest to his proficiency in this area.

  • Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation: Subtle Enhancements, Significant Impact

    For those seeking to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance without surgery, or to complement the results of surgical procedures, Dr. Ahmad offers a range of advanced non-surgical treatments.

    • These treatments effectively smooth dynamic wrinkles — those caused by repeated facial expressions, such as frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Dr. Ahmad has a preference for Jeuveau® due to its typically quick onset of action. His deep understanding of facial anatomy and muscle movement allows for precise injections that yield natural-looking results, softening wrinkles without sacrificing expression. His practice has even developed specific protocols, such as "Cosmetic Botox in PTOSIS Patients — Dr. Ahmad and Daisy's Formula", indicating a nuanced approach to specialized applications.

    • Dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours (such as in the cheeks or under the eyes), and plump lips for a more youthful appearance. Dr. Ahmad exclusively uses reversible hyaluronic acid-based fillers. He applies these products strategically and judiciously, often in conjunction with neurotoxins or as an adjunct to surgery, to achieve comprehensive and harmonious facial rejuvenation. Candidacy for fillers is carefully assessed to ensure optimal and appropriate outcomes.

    • This advanced treatment dramatically improves skin laxity, texture, and tone, while also reducing wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. Dr. Ahmad employs both fractional and fully ablative CO2 laser techniques, carefully tailoring the approach to the patient's skin type and concerns. Special consideration and pre-treatment protocols are often used for patients with skin of color to minimize any risk of hyperpigmentation. CO2 laser resurfacing is frequently combined with eyelid surgery to enhance overall results, as noted by satisfied patients who have undergone such combination treatments.
