Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Brown's credentials, and what to expect at Oculo-Facial Consultants.
What is an oculoplastic surgeon?
An oculoplastic surgeon is a board-certified ophthalmologist who has completed additional fellowship training in plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, orbit (eye socket), and lacrimal (tear duct) system. Dr. Brown is an ASOPRS member — the internationally recognized certifying body, with fewer than 600 members worldwide.
What makes Dr. Brown unique on Alabama's Eastern Shore?
Dr. Brown is the only ASOPRS fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon practicing on Alabama's Eastern Shore. He trained at Harvard College, Tufts Medical School, and completed his ophthalmology residency at NYU, followed by an ASOPRS oculoplastic fellowship at the University of Illinois Chicago — bringing 20+ years of subspecialty expertise to the Gulf Coast.
What is blepharoplasty, and am I a candidate?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess eyelid skin and fat. Upper blepharoplasty corrects hooded or heavy upper lids that can impair vision; lower blepharoplasty reduces under-eye bags and puffiness. Recovery is typically 1–2 weeks. Good candidates are adults in general good health with realistic expectations. Dr. Brown performs a thorough in-person evaluation to confirm candidacy.
What is ptosis, and is it different from blepharoplasty?
Ptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid caused by a weakened or detached levator muscle — it requires repair of the muscle itself, not just skin removal. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat but does not address the underlying muscle. Many patients have both conditions simultaneously. Dr. Brown specializes in distinguishing and treating both, often in a single procedure.
Does Dr. Brown treat thyroid eye disease (Graves' disease)?
Yes. Dr. Brown offers a complete range of thyroid eye disease (Graves' orbitopathy) care, including Tepezza (teprotumumab) IV infusion therapy, orbital decompression surgery, strabismus correction, and eyelid retraction repair. Early evaluation is important — the sooner treatment begins, the better the outcome.
Where are your office locations and hours?
Oculo-Facial Consultants has two Alabama locations. Mobile: 6576 Airport Blvd, Suite B200, Mobile, AL 36608 — Tuesday through Thursday by appointment. Daphne: 1 Timber Way, Suite 202, Daphne, AL 36527 — Monday afternoons and Thursdays by appointment. Surgical cases are performed at Daphne Surgery Center. Call 251-650-5437 to schedule.
Does Dr. Brown accept insurance for eyelid and oculoplastic surgery?
Many oculoplastic procedures are medically necessary and covered by insurance — including ptosis repair, entropion and ectropion correction, orbital surgery, dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for blocked tear ducts, and thyroid eye disease treatment. Upper blepharoplasty may be covered by some insurance; our staff can verify your benefits before and during your appointment. Lower blepharoplasty is always cosmetic, and self-pay.
Do you offer virtual or telehealth consultations?
Yes. Dr. Brown offers telehealth consultations for appropriate cases, including patients from Pensacola, FL, Mississippi, and other Gulf Coast areas who wish to evaluate candidacy before traveling to Mobile or Daphne. Visit the telehealth page to request a virtual appointment.
