At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, we specialize in oculoplastic and eyelid surgery with a patient-first approach rooted in surgical excellence, innovation, and deep experience. Based in the heart of Atlanta, GA, our clinic is led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, one of the few surgeons in the region to be double board-certified in both Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His advanced fellowship training under globally recognized facial plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono gives him unique expertise in complex reconstructive and aesthetic procedures.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Why Kalos is Atlanta’s Trusted Leader in Oculoplastic Surgery
Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery is a premier destination in the Atlanta area for patients seeking reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid surgery. Unlike practices that take a cookie-cutter approach, we are known for providing individualized care using advanced techniques backed by rigorous medical training and a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
Our practice routinely works with Atlanta patients dealing with:
- Eyelid trauma
- Complications from previous procedures
- Cancer-related defects requiring reconstruction
- Aging-related drooping or dysfunction of the eyelids
Dr. Stong’s extensive surgical background, combined with his compassionate approach and refined technique, allows us to deliver superior outcomes that not only restore function but also enhance confidence and overall appearance.
According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the state, and metro Atlanta has seen an increase in Mohs surgeries performed near the delicate eye area. This makes the need for a skilled reconstructive expert like Dr. Stong even more vital to the local population.
Expert Eyelid Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is highly effective for removing skin cancer, but when performed around the eye, it can result in complex wounds that demand expert reconstruction. Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive post-Mohs eyelid reconstruction to patients throughout Buckhead, Sandy Springs, and the greater Atlanta metro area.
Dr. Stong uses advanced microsurgical techniques, including skin flaps and grafts, to repair damaged tissue while restoring the eyelid’s function and appearance. His careful, layered approach ensures proper eyelid movement, tear drainage, and eye protection, which are crucial for long-term health and comfort.
Ptosis and Ectropion Repair in Atlanta
We regularly see patients suffering from functional eyelid conditions that can interfere with their daily lives:
- Ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid): May cause blocked vision and eye strain
- Ectropion (outward turning of the lower eyelid): Can lead to excessive tearing, dryness, and irritation
These conditions often go untreated due to misunderstanding or lack of access to specialized care. At Kalos, we offer comprehensive diagnostic consultations and clear, expert recommendations for treatment. Dr. Stong’s nuanced understanding of facial dynamics allows him to customize each surgery, ensuring restored eyelid support and natural appearance.
