Fellowships
The endoscopic approach used in cosmetic operations allows a surgeon to rejuvenate the mid-face (cheek) and brow using very small and hidden incisions. It is occasionally referred to as scarless surgery. Dr. Ford acquired his endoscopic skills while working with pioneering surgeon Dr. Oscar Ramirez in Baltimore Maryland. Paces Plastic Surgery in Atlanta Georgia, is a group practice renowned for developing a scientific approach to cosmetic eyelid surgery. While at Paces Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ford worked with Drs. Roderick Hester, Mark Codner, Sonny McCord and Foad Nahai. This experience has allowed Dr. Ford to attain predictable and natural results when performing blepharoplasty surgery. He accepts referrals from other plastic surgeons for blepharoplasty surgery, and to correct complications arising from prior cosmetic eyelid and midfacial surgery.
