Only a very small percentage of physicians performing plastic surgery are specifically trained as oculofacial plastic surgeons. Many of Dr. Reistad’s patients have been referred to him by other doctors since facial cosmetic or reconstructive procedures usually involve the eyes or the areas around the eyes and can impact vision.

Other procedures such as the application of Botox® and dermal fillers likewise depend on a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy for a successful treatment and the best outcome. Dr. Reistad performs all Botox® and filler treatments personally.

Some are and some aren’t, depending on the type of procedure and the insurance plan. Many eyelid procedures are covered as they can impact one’s quality of vision; others are not as they are performed for the purposes of improving appearance. Many patients choose to finance their surgical costs with CareCredit®. CareCredit® offers many 0% interest plans for a reasonable monthly payment. Your surgical counselor will be happy to review financing options available.
