Eyelid and Oculoplastic Procedures in Dubai
Dr. Lama Jurdy operates only on the eyelids and the structures around them. Each procedure she performs is explained here in plain language.
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 plans every blepharoplasty around the patient's own facial structure, so the eyelids look rested rather than reshaped.
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 by a surgeon who operates on this anatomy every week.
Dr. Lama treats the eye region surgically as well as with injectables, so she plans each injection around the muscles, vessels and nerves she works with in theatre. She injects conservatively and reviews results before adding more.
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.
