It's one of life's ironies - those who laugh and smile the most are sometimes the first to develop wrinkles and bags around the eyes. Not to mention the damaging effects of sun exposure, late nights working in front of a computer, or simple heredity. The good news is that lines around the eyes, along with drooping or sagging skin, can be corrected with remarkable results.

Albert Florens Storm Eye Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina offers both medically necessary and elective cosmetic procedures such as wrinkle reduction, eyelifts, reconstructive surgery, Botox treatments, and skin care that can make you look and feel your best.

Our plastic and reconstructive surgery team, led by Gene Howard, MD, a board-certified physician with more than 20 years of experience, focuses on combining the latest, more innovative techniques with compassionate care in a patient-centered environment. Our team understands the balance between surgical science and the delicate touch of cosmetic enhancements. Our eye specialists offer a level of service distinctly different than traditional plastic surgeons and respect and honor each patient's need for privacy, expertise and quality of treatment.

Derived from the Greek word plastikos, the term plastic surgery means "to change." Whether you simply want to freshen your appearance and enhance your self-image, or have a medical emergency and require eyelid repair and tissue replacement, Storm Eye Institute can facilitate change for patients by combining the latest plastic surgery techniques with expert training and knowledge in the anatomy and behavior of the eyes.

At Storm Eye Institute our patients are our top priority. The patient relationship begins with a thorough eye exam and consultation and ends by answering all questions and discussing various treatment options. We remain focused on you and your eye-related cosmetic needs so that you can focus on more important things - life.
