Procedures
A focused oculoplastic practice
Dr. Lama Jurdy operates exclusively on the eyelids and surrounding structures. Below is a plain-language guide to the procedures she offers most often.
Blepharoplasty
Refreshing the upper and lower eyelids.
Blepharoplasty is surgical reshaping of the upper or lower eyelids, or both. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as removing excess skin that makes the eyes appear tired or aged, or for functional reasons when drooping skin obstructs vision. Dr. Lama approaches every blepharoplasty with the goal of a natural, rested result that complements the patient's facial structure rather than altering it dramatically.
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper eyelid, restoring a more open, refreshed appearance. Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness, bags, or loose skin beneath the eye. Both procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and typically take under two hours.
Common questions
Ptosis Repair
Correcting a drooping upper eyelid.
Ptosis is the medical term for a drooping upper eyelid caused by weakness or stretching of the muscle that lifts the lid. It can affect one or both eyes and may be present from birth or develop with age. In adults, ptosis often develops gradually and can cause the eyes to appear asymmetrical or half-closed. In more significant cases it can obstruct vision.
Dr. Lama performs ptosis repair surgery to restore the eyelid to its natural position. The specific technique depends on the severity of the drooping and the underlying cause, she will assess this thoroughly during your consultation and explain which approach is most appropriate for you.
Common questions
Peri-Ocular Aesthetics
Non-surgical rejuvenation around the eyes and upper face.
Non-surgical treatments around the eyes and upper face can achieve meaningful rejuvenation without the recovery time of surgery. Dr. Lama offers anti-wrinkle injectables for fine lines and brow shaping, dermal fillers for under-eye hollowing and mid-face volume, and brow lift treatments, all performed with the precision of a surgeon who understands the anatomy of this area in exceptional detail.
As a specialist in the eye region, Dr. Lama brings a level of anatomical knowledge to injectable treatments that goes significantly beyond that of a general aesthetic practitioner. Safety and natural results are the priority.
Common questions
Lacrimal (Tearing Eye)
Diagnosis and treatment of excessive tearing and blocked tear ducts.
Excessive tearing or watery eyes is often caused by a blockage or narrowing in the tear drainage system: the lacrimal system. This can cause constant overflow of tears, blurred vision, and recurring eye infections. Dr. Lama specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of lacrimal disorders, offering both medical and surgical solutions depending on the underlying cause.
Common questions
