Eyelid skin is thin and susceptible to sun damage therefore eyelids are commonly affected by skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and rarely melanomas. Dr. Kopelman has extensive experience restoring the appearance and function of patients who have had skin tumors removed. Eyelid lacerations can occur from accidents and dog bites resulting in torn eyelid margins. These lacerations disrupt the margins of the eyelids which produce misalignment of the eyelashes and margin which may produce cosmetic deformities as well as constant irritation and tearing. Therefore, it is imperative that an oculoplastic surgeon, like Dr. Kopelman, restore the natural contours of the eyelids as well as repair the lacerated tear ducts in order to prevent chronic tearing and infections. Other forms of trauma may also include broken facial bones or orbital fractures that may occur from a blow to the midface. Patients with fractures commonly report that they accidentally fell and hit their face, got injured in a fight, or a barbell accidentally fell and hit them in the face while at the gym. Dr. Kopelman has 30 plus years experience resetting broken facial bones.

“Dr. Kopelman every day I look at my daughter’s beautiful eye and thank God for you and your skills. I am so grateful that you were there for us at such a tragic time. Because of you, our daughter is whole again. I didn’t dare hope that with a dog bite so severe, our daughter’s eye could look normal again. It does! The tear duct functions well! I appreciate how kind and caring you have been. Thank you and God Bless.
