• Medical Weight Loss
  Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the neck underneath the skin. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss measures. Neck liposuction will diminish the pouch of fleshy tissue just behind and beneath the chin. If one has large amounts of extra skin, then liposuction alone will not be enough to improve the redundant skin and surgical neck or face-lifting techniques are combined with neck liposuction.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma is a fairly common condition that causes permanent vision loss. It usually has no symptoms, so it is of utmost importance to attend regular eye exams. Most people don’t know they have glaucoma until their vision has been compromised. Glaucoma is caused by increased intra-ocular pressure inside of the eye. When the eye is not able to drain fluid properly, fluid becomes trapped and intra-ocular pressure rises.This pressure damages the optic nerve, which results in permanent vision loss and possibly blindness.

• Macular Degeneration
• Laser Eye Surgery
  LASIK surgery is the most performed refractive surgery in the United States today. Are you tired of wearing glasses and dealing with contact lenses? LASIK may be right for you!
• Cataracts
  We are currently participating in a clinical research study of a new investigational multifocal (Trifocal) intraocular lens (IOL) here in our Columbus office. Multifocal IOLs have been developed to improve full range vision — near, intermediate and far distances. You may qualify to take part in this study if you currently have cataracts in both of your eyes. If you are eligible and decide to participate in the study you will be asked to return for examinations to evaluate your vision. All visits will be provided at no cost to you and you will be compensated for your time and travel. We would be pleased to provide more information and answer your questions. Please call our office at 614-301-9291 or 614-827-6726 and ask to speak with Tracy McClelland.
• Cataract Surgery
  Once a cataract has begun forming, there is no method of treatment other than following the above tips to slow progression. Once the cataract is interfering with vision, your doctor will suggest cataract surgery. While cataracts can only be treated through surgery, cataract surgery is safe, easy and effective. If you suspect you have cataracts, call our office today at (614) 221-7464 to schedule a consultation!
• Eye Exam
  During an eye exam, your ophthalmologist may ask you to look at an Amsler grid. This grid helps you notice any blurry or blank spots in your field of vision. Your ophthalmologist will also look inside your eye through a special lens. He or she can see if there are changes in the retina and macula.

Surgeons

• Reconstructive Surgery
  Oculoplastics is a general term for surgeries involving plastic and reconstructive surgery of the structures around the eye and other facial tissues. These include the eyelids, eyebrows, forehead, cheeks, orbit (bony cavity around the eye), face, and lacrimal (tear drain) system.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  BOTOX® Cosmetic, DYSPORT®, and XEOMIN® are a group of neurotoxins composed of purified proteins administered in a simple non-surgical injection that temporarily improves the appearance of facial wrinkle lines. Because of how well it works and how much patients enjoy the results, BOTOX® and other neurotoxins have become the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States.
• Brow Lift
  The position of the forehead and eyebrows plays an important role in the perception of one’s mood. A droop in the brows can imply tiredness or anger. The gradual downward repositioning of the brows from gravity and aging can lead to heaviness of the upper lids as the brow tissue drops into the eyelids. Repositioning of the eyebrows and forehead may diminish the wrinkles, improve the expression of mood, and open the heaviness of the upper eyelids. Forehead repositioning can be accomplished by many surgical techniques. The most appropriate technique will depend on a patient’s goals and a discussion with your surgeon during and after the exam. The most common technique performed by our surgeons is an endoscopic brow lift. This is an outpatient local anesthetic procedure with hidden incisions. Small incisions are made in the scalp and endoscopic technology is used to access the forehead and eyebrows. The squinting muscles are weakened to decrease the lines between the eyebrows. The eyebrows are lifted and contoured. Strenuous physical activity is limited for 10 days and bruising and swelling diminishes over one to three weeks. Botox treatments are sometimes recommended in association with the brow lift procedure.
• Eyelid Surgery
  As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, loss of elasticity of the skin, cigarette smoking and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Creases form between the nose and mouth; the jaw line develops jowls, folds and fat deposits appear around the neck, and the cheek fat descends down toward the mouth. There are numerous cosmetic procedures designed to alter these changes, and sometimes the terminology is confusing. “Facelift” is the terminology used to describe a number of different techniques that are all designed to improve facial aging changes. A facelift can’t stop the aging process. What it can do is “set back the clock,” improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of the face and neck. A facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or neck lift.
• Liposuction
  Our surgeons also provide the option of autologous fat transfer for facial volumization and rejuvenation. Using liposuction, fat can be harvested from other parts of the body, usually the flank or abdomen, and transferred to the face to provide a natural, youthful appearance. This is usually performed in the operating room and can be combined with other surgical procedures.
• Plastic Surgery
  Dr. Kenneth V. Cahill graduated from The Ohio State University Summa Cum Laude and as a Phi Beta Kappa member. He also graduated from The Ohio State University College of Medicine where he received the Dean’s Award and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. He completed his residency in ophthalmology at the University of Pittsburgh, where he was chosen Chief Resident of the program. Dr. Cahill then served a fellowship in ophthalmic plastic surgery at Grant Medical Center, Ohio State University Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
• Face Lift
  Plastic surgeons use facial implants to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you feel better about the way you look. There are many implants available, manufactured from a variety of materials. They come in many different sizes and may be trimmed to suit the individual patient. They may help strengthen a jaw line or bring the chin or cheekbones into balance with the rest of the face. Cheek implants help to define the prominence beneath the eyes and to support the lower eyelid. Cheek implants, or tear trough implants, can improve the smoothness of the junction between the lower eyelid and the cheek. When the natural cheek fat descends, the cheek implants may be use separately or together with a mid-face lift to recontour the cheek.
• Neck Lift
• Blepharoplasty
  The eyes are often the first thing people notice about your face and are an important aspect of facial appearance. As we mature, upper and/or lower eyelids may become “droopy” or “baggy” because the eyelid skin stretches, muscles and tendons weaken, bone remodels, and fat pockets bulge and become more prominent. Your eyebrows also may sag or droop as part of this same process, and this adds to the excessive tissue in the upper eyelid. Aesthetically, such conditions may detract from the overall attractiveness of one’s eyes and cause a “tired” or older appearance. When severe, these conditions also may cause functional problems, such as impaired field of vision (baggy upper eyelids) or difficulty wearing glasses (baggy lower eyelids). The eyelid problems are treated with a procedure called blepharoplasty.
• Laser Resurfacing
  Laser Resurfacing: Aging changes in the skin take many forms including dyschromatopsias (color changes, brown and red spots), loss of elasticity and volume, wrinkle formation, and texture irregularities. Many of the changes are the result of prior sun damage, but smoking also plays an important role. Improving one’s skin texture and tone is a vital component of comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Laser resurfacing procedures are performed using the Sciton Joule Erbium:Yag laser, one of the most technologically advance resurfacing systems on the market. Our physicians have the ability to tailor the treatment to achieve the results you desire and reduce unwanted wrinkles on the face including around the eyes and mouth. In addition, the laser can be used to diminish melasma. Laser resurfacing can be performed in the office under local anesthesia or at the same time as other surgeries.
• Cosmetic Surgery
  Dr. Cameron Nabavi joined Ophthalmic Surgeons & Consultants of Ohio in 2012. He trained as an ophthalmologist, but did further training in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, orbit and lacrimal system due to trauma, cancer, congenital defects, system diseases and aging. Dr. Nabavi received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in Neurobiology.
• Facial Implants
• Forehead Lift
  Dr. Straka has extensive training in the areas of cosmetic facial surgery including upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), endoscopic brow/forehead lift, facelift, and laser resurfacing techniques to reduce facial wrinkles. As a complement to his surgical interventions, he performs many non-invasive procedures including neurotoxin injections (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport), dermal and facial fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Belotero), and Kybella, the only FDA approved injectable to help reduce neck fullness. In addition, he specializes in the medical and surgical management of many conditions affecting the eyelids, eye socket (orbit), and tear ducts in both adults and children. These include droopy eyelids (ptosis), upper and lower eyelid malposition (ectropion, entropion, retraction), eyelid or periocular skin cancers, orbital tumors and fractures, blocked tear ducts, congenital eyelid malformations, and thyroid eye disease.

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  Eyelid lesions. This includes chalazia (styes), cysts, skin tags and moles, as well as more serious lesions like skin cancer.
• Cyst
• Lesions
  Medical oculoplastic surgery, as opposed to cosmetic oculoplastic surgery, is performed for functional reasons. These procedures can be done for a variety of conditions, including lesions needing a biopsy or removal, or droopy eyelids obstructing your vision. One of the most common oculoplastic surgeries is ptosis surgery. Ptosis is a condition in which the upper lid droops down for a variety of reasons. With upper lid ptosis, the droopy eyelid can sag low enough to obstruct a significant portion of vision.
• Chemical Peels
  Chemical peels help treat skin irregularities, wrinkling and discoloration. There are different levels of treatment for different problems. Some treatments have a very brief recovery process and may be given as “lunch time peels.” Other peels, with more dramatic results, may require a several day recovery process. Sometimes a series of light peels is recommended and peels maybe combined in the same treatment with Microdermabrasion.
• Skin Care
  Microdermabrasion is a gentle technique for removal of superficial skin irregularities, fine wrinkling and pigmentary discoloration. A strong vacuum and particles or a diamond tip device are used to remove the superficial epidermis. Although one treatment will result in noticeable changes in skin texture, multiple treatments are necessary for the best results. After a treatment, some redness and crusting are common, but usually not enough to require time off for recovery. Microdermabrasion is a nice way to “jump start” a topical skin care program to get better penetration. Microdermabrasion is also used prior to some chemical peels to get deeper penetration of the chemical peels.
