Dr. Jaffe specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery involving the eyelids and surrounding area, including the forehead, orbit, lacrimal system and eyebrows. Dr. Jaffe also has experience performing cosmetic procedures such as upper and lower blepharoplasty, brow lifts, and laser resurfacing, as well as performing many medically necessary reconstructive procedures. He is one of the few surgeons who performs the majority of his surgeries using a CO2 laser in lieu of a scalpel. He has more surgical experience with the CO2 laser than anyone in the state of Texas and is recognized as a pioneer in his field. He has designed and patented surgical laser instruments to promote the safety of patients and improve surgical outcomes. Advantages of using the CO2 laser instead of the blade include quicker surgery time, shorter duration of anesthesia, faster recovery time, less bruising and less swelling.
