Why Choose an Oculoplastic Surgeon?
Oculoplastic surgery is a subspecialty of ophthalmology focused on the delicate structures surrounding the eyes: eyelids, tear ducts, and supporting facial tissues. Unlike general plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons are trained ophthalmologists first, with additional fellowship training that hones their ability to balance aesthetics with essential eyelid function.
This distinction matters, especially for patients concerned with maintaining their natural eye shape, avoiding visible scarring, or preventing complications such as dry eye or incomplete eyelid closure. Dr. Lattman’s deep knowledge of ocular anatomy ensures both cosmetic and functional excellence, with results that look beautifully natural and feel entirely your own.
I did upper and lower blepharoplasty surgeries with Dr. Lattman in October 2024, and I had a great experience with her team! Recommended by a close friend, Dr. Lattman performed the surgeries on my eyes perfectly! She is knowledgeable, patient and extreme considerate through the entire process. Her assistants and nurses are all very professional and caring. I can't recommend her more for anyone who needs her expertise and outstanding services! Look no more, the best doctor is right in front of you!! Thank you so much, Dr. Lattman and your team! I can't be happier to look at my face in front of mirror now.
Above and Beyond, Every Time!
Dr. Lattman has built her reputation not just on results, but on the thoughtful, human experience she provides. She performs every procedure herself and is involved at every step of your care. Her approach is calm, educational, and never a hard sell.
From treating complex eye conditions to delivering subtle cosmetic rejuvenation, her patients know they are getting the highest quality care available. Many say the results exceeded their expectations and that the experience was just as transformative as the outcome.
Dr. Lattman’s Philosophy: Aging Beautifully, Healing Quickly
