Dr. Michael Neimkin, MD

Dr. Michael Neimkin is an oculoplastic surgeon, board certified in Ophthalmology, practicing in the West Paces Ferry area of Atlanta, Georgia. He specializes in oculoplastic and orbital surgery, focusing on cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the eyelids and face. Dr. Neimkin is board certified by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) and received his education at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Neimkin considers upper eyelid blepharoplasty "arguably the most powerful procedure in facial cosmetics." For lower blepharoplasty, he typically performs all incisions inside the lower eyelids, repositioning fatty pockets to fill in hollowness. When no skin is removed during blepharoplasty, he uses a Lutronic ECO2 laser for skin tightening. He also performs temporal browlifts with incisions within the hairline and lower blepharoplasty with SOOF lift to add volume and reduce festoons. Most blepharoplasties are performed in-office under local sedation with an oral sedative, with general anesthesia available but "not needed in most cases." Patients can expect a straightforward recovery from upper blepharoplasty, often returning to everyday activities within 24 hours and in-person work within 7-10 days.
