- OphthalmologyHe received his medical doctorate from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Following his internship at St. Joseph’s hospital in Houston, he completed his ophthalmology residency at MetroHealth St. Luke’s Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. He received his specialty training in Oculofacial Surgery while serving a fellowship with Dr. Orkan Stasior in Albany, New York. Dr. Sanderson is privileged to be one of the only 600 members in the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
- Pregnancy
- Reconstructive SurgeryFortunately, the mask area is amenable to significant improvements at the hands of those qualified to do so. Dr. Sanderson is one of approximately 550 specially trained physicians of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. These surgeons have undergone extensive fellowship training in eyelid and facial plastic surgery.
- BotoxBotox™ is the product name (Also Botox cosmetic™) for botulinum toxin A, which is owned by Allergan, Inc. When injected, Botox™ works to interfere with the communication between incoming nerve fibers and the muscles which are normally activated by the nerves. The solution works in the local area in which it contacts the nerves and muscles. This has the desired effect of weakening certain overactive muscles of the face, allowing the relaxation of wrinkles. This only helps if the cause of the wrinkles is overactive muscles. Dr. Sanderson will have to evaluate you and determine if you are a candidate for Botox™. The procedure is administered in the office, usually only takes a few minutes and causes minimal discomfort. The patient is instructed to limit their activity for 24 hours to prevent shifting of the Botox™.
- Brow LiftThe Brow lift is designed to lift the forehead and eyebrows and can be accomplished by a variety of means. The older technique involves cutting from ear to ear and lifting up the scalp and is not very common anymore. We use a newer method that involves using endoscopic instruments and small incisions to lift and secure the forehead. These procedures can usually be performed at the same time as a facelift.
- Eyelid SurgeryThe area around our eyes, the upper and lower eyelids along with the skin quality, is critical in projecting the first impression that people get of us. In evaluating and treating this area, Dr. Sanderson uses a variety of methods, based upon his expertise and over 16 years of experience.
- Plastic SurgeryDr. Sanderson’s Facial Plastic Surgery is a “boutique” style practice which allows him to give additional personal attention for his patients. His primary concern is making the patient feel comfortable and well-informed during every step of the process. Patients have commented that they appreciate this approach. This also includes lots of one-on-one time with Dr. Sanderson and his caring staff during the postoperative healing process.
- Face LiftThe facelift has been an extremely successful operation over the decades that it has been used. It is designed to (as the name implies), lift the tissues of the face. There are, however, several different approaches to the facelift, and various versions which have been promoted in recent years.
- BlepharoplastyThe history of CO2 laser skin resurfacing is also quite interesting. The CO2 laser has been used for decades in medicine as a cutting tool. The advantage it holds here is that it coagulates(stops the bleeding) at the same time that it is cutting. In fact, the CO2 laser is often used to perform eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) by Dr. Sanderson. Advances in computer technology allowed the scientists to develop the CO2 laser for resurfacing purposes, by delivering the pulse of laser energy very rapidly.
- Scar Revision
- Lip Augmentation
- Laser ResurfacingThe introduction of CO2 Laser Resurfacing brought about significant improvements to the safety and consistency of skin resurfacing. And there is an additional benefit: The laser actually tightens the skin as it is performed! The key with laser skin resurfacing is that the computer can deliver the pulse of energy so rapidly, that the skin does not heat up very much. This allows tightening, without unwanted scarring of the surrounding tissues.

- DermabrasionFor years, the main methods for resurfacing the facial skin involved either chemical (acid) peels, or dermabrasion. Although both of these techniques involved removing the top layers of skin, they each had their limitations, especially with regard to consistency, patient comfort and safety.
- Forehead Lift
- Lesions
- Chemical PeelsFor skin quality issues, especially those of mild pigmentation problems, a good quality skin care regimen can be enough to improve a patient’s condition. Such skin care will also help prevent rapid aging and can therefore postpone the need for surgical intervention. More developed problems such as fine lines or deep rooted pigmentation issues may require the use of a mild chemical peel, and may even require regular treatments to keep in check.
- Skin CareAn important component of skin protection and maintenance is the use of a high quality skin care product line. There are many choices for patients in the market, but Dr. Sanderson feels that the Obagi™ and Kinerase™ brands offer the very best in skin care products. Under the direction of Dr. Sanderson’s esthetician, these products can be the first step in skin rejuvenation. These are the lowest level of intervention when trying to rejuvenate the facial skin. Also, Dr. Sanderson feels it is important to use them to maintain any gains that each patient has made through treatment or surgery. A thorough examination by Dr. Sanderson and his esthetician can determine which of these fine skin care products is appropriate for your skin.
