COSMETIC SERVICES PROVIDED BY DR. HOWARD INCLUDE:
“Blepharoplasty is surgery to modify the eyelids. It’s a simple procedure, and yet for me it changed my world. I was unaware how restricted my upper field of vision had become. Two weeks after the procedure and I am amazed at how much better I see. Driving is perhaps the most notably improved aspect of my vision. Dr. Howard and his staff are the best. They accommodated me at short notice. Sam, one of his staff members, was amazing.
