Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery: Artistry for a Refreshed, Natural Appearance
Dr. Ahmad’s cosmetic philosophy is to enhance your natural features, not change them. He believes that the eyes play a pivotal role in non-verbal communication, so results should be natural. His goal is a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance that makes you look rested and vibrant, but still unmistakably yourself.
Upper Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)
As a premier eyelid specialist, Dr. Ahmad masterfully addresses concerns of aging around the eyes. This procedure expertly corrects drooping or “hooded” eyelids that can cause a tired, heavy look and may even interfere with vision. His refined technique removes excess skin, avoiding an "overdone" or "surprised" look and restoring a natural, aesthetically pleasing contour to the upper eyelid.
Lower Blepharoplasty (Eye Bag Removal)
Designed to permanently eliminate under-eye bags, puffiness, and smooth the contours between the cheek and eyelid, this surgery offers dramatic rejuvenation. In this procedure, Dr. Ahmad often utilizes an advanced, internal (transconjunctival) incision, which is hidden inside the lower eyelid. This "no-scar" approach is a significant benefit for patients, as it avoids visible external scarring and minimizes recovery time. This procedure is often combined with CO2 laser resurfacing to simultaneously tighten the overlying skin for an optimal, smooth result.
Ptosis Repair (Droopy Eyelid Correction)
Ptosis repair requires a true medical expert to distinguish between cosmetic hooding (excess skin) and ptosis, which is a genuine drooping of the upper eyelid caused by a weakened or detached lifting muscle. Dr. Ahmad performs this specialized surgical repair to lift the eyelid, improving the field of vision and restoring a more open, alert, and symmetrical appearance. Medical insurance often covers this medically necessary procedure.
Revisional Eyelid Surgery
For individuals who are unsatisfied with the results of a previous eyelid surgery performed elsewhere, Dr. Ahmad offers expert revisional procedures. He always approaches these complex cases with a conservative, thoughtful methodology, meticulously analyzing the existing concerns to correct asymmetry, functional issues, and scarring.
Reconstructive & Functional Eyelid Surgery: Restoring Form and Well-Being
Dr. Ahmad has built his reputation on his ability to handle the most complex cases while still being mindful of the importance of artistry. His deep experience in reconstructive surgery gives cosmetic patients profound peace of mind, knowing their surgeon possesses the highest level of technical skill.
Eyelid Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Removal (e.g., Mohs)
Dr. Ahmad has specialized expertise in performing complex reconstructions following skin cancer removal. He meticulously restores both the eyelid's vital protective function and its natural appearance, often employing advanced techniques like precisely designed skin grafts and local flaps.
Ectropion Repair (Outward-Turning Eyelid)
This procedure corrects an outward-turning lower eyelid, which can lead to chronic dryness, irritation, and tearing. Dr. Ahmad tightens the eyelid's supporting structures to restore its normal position against the eye.
Entropion Repair (Inward-Turning Eyelid)
An inward-turning eyelid causes eyelashes to rub against the cornea, leading to pain and potential damage. Surgical correction by Dr. Ahmad addresses the underlying issues to reposition the eyelid margin correctly, alleviating discomfort.
Tear Duct Surgery (Dacryocystorhinostomy — DCR)
For patients dealing with persistent, troublesome tearing (epiphora) or recurrent infections from blocked tear ducts, Dr. Ahmad performs a specialized surgery to create a new and functional drainage pathway for tears.
Advanced Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
Neurotoxin Injectables (Botox®, Jeuveau®)
These treatments effectively smooth dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Dr. Ahmad has a deep understanding of facial anatomy and muscle movement, allowing for precise injections that yield natural-looking results, softening wrinkles without sacrificing your natural expression and character.
Dermal Fillers (Restylane®, Juvederm®)
Dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume in areas like the tear troughs, cheeks, and lips. Dr. Ahmad’s approach is both artistic and medical. He exclusively uses reversible hyaluronic acid-based fillers and applies them strategically and judiciously. Dr. Ahmad carefully assesses candidacy for fillers, as he is never quick to suggest fillers unless he’s confident they are the right choice for achieving a comprehensive and harmonious result.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
This advanced treatment dramatically improves skin laxity, texture, and tone, while also reducing wrinkles, sun damage, and scars. Dr. Ahmad employs both fractional and fully ablative techniques, tailoring the approach to your skin type. His practice uses special consideration and pre-treatment protocols for patients with skin of color to minimize any risk of hyperpigmentation, demonstrating a superior and inclusive standard of care.
The Oculoplastic Advantage: The Impact of a Facelift, Masterfully Focused
Many patients from the Schaumburg area who search for a facelift surgeon are driven by a desire to look less tired, less angry, or less sad. In many cases, they believe a full surgical facelift is the only solution, but this isn’t the case.
Dr. Ahmad offers a more refined, modern alternative. As an expert facelift surgeon specializing in the oculofacial area, he understands that the eyes and mid-face are the most expressive — and often the first — areas to show aging.
For many 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 and associated downtime.
He often combines precise surgical techniques (like blepharoplasty) with advanced non-surgical treatments (like laser resurfacing and fillers) to address every dimension of facial aging. This approach achieves the "Chicago Aesthetic" — refined, confident, and authentic — rather than an "overdone" or "pulled" look. His goal is to create a trusting relationship that makes each patient feel comfortable with his approach.
