General Surgery
We practice in a climate of high-deductible, low quality healthcare insurance. Decisions that we make when billing patients can have significant, and sometimes devastating, financial impact on our patients. I have been an eyelid surgeon for the past 9 years in several different practice models (from an academic center to a boutique plastic surgery practice to my current practice), and I have developed strong beliefs on how to fairly manage the financial transactions that go hand-in-hand with medical and surgical services.
Reconstructive Surgery
In addition to publishing articles on functional and aesthetic oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Walrath serves as manuscript reviewer for The Aesthetic Surgery Journal and Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Dr. Walrath offers cosmetic botulinum toxin A ( Botox ) for dynamic wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyebrows, and in the “crow’s feet”. He also has a great deal of experience treating patients with Botox for neurological disorders of the eyelids, tear glands, and face.

Eyelid Surgery
This patient (postoperative) underwent external eyelid surgery to correct drooping that was present on both sides — you can see her preop photo in the photo gallery. Swelling and bruising are usually minimal after ptosis surgery.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Walrath attended medical school at the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York, and completed residency training in ophthalmology at The Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia University, where he was elected Chief Resident for 2006-2007. Over the course of his training he developed a passion for surgery of the eyelids, eye socket, tear drains, and surrounding tissues. After practicing in Manhattan and training ophthalmology residents at Columbia University, he relocated to Atlanta to complete an Oculoplastics Fellowship at Emory University. Dr. Walrath was subsequently invited to join the Emory medical faculty as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology, Division of Oculoplastics, where he practiced until August of 2011. From August 2011 through January 2013, Dr. Walrath partnered with the world-renowned surgeons at Paces Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA. He has been a full-time member of the Woolfson Eye group since September 2013.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty: removing the excess skin of the eyelid that interferes with vision. A typical postoperative course can be viewed here.
Cosmetic Surgery
Dr. Walrath is an oculoplastic doctor in Atlanta specializing in oculoplastic cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. His cosmetic surgical procedures focus on upper and lower lid appearance and function, restoring a youthful refreshed appearance without compromising the natural position and closure of the eyes. He also restores function and appearance in patients who have had prior unsuccessful cosmetic surgery.

Skin Cancer
Chemical Peels
In younger patients, the personalized approach to the lower eyelids may involve a surgical incision on the inside of the eyelid to remove and redistribute the fat pads (“lowering the mountain”), or it may involve the nonsurgical placement of injectable filler in the region adjacent to the fat pads (“raising the valley”), both with the goal of smoothing out the transition zone from the lid to the cheek and the transition zone from the inner aspect of the lower eyelid to the nasal side wall (the “nasojugal fold” or “tear trough”). The skin may be pinched and a small segment removed, or a gentle chemical peel may be utilized to remove fine wrinkles and create mild tightening. The eyelid itself is usually anchored to the eye socket rim for additional support if surgery is performed.In patients with skin excess and eyelid laxity, the usual approach is to perform an incision beneath the eyelashes. This incision preserves the eyelash follicles. Lower eyelid fat pads can then be removed or repositioned, tailored to the patient’s cosmetic needs. Customized treatment of the middle anatomic layers of the eyelid is critical. This layer is often released surgically, and spacer materials, usually composed of processed collagen, are often used to provide vertical support to the eyelid within this middle layer, to ensure proper eyelid position and function. Excess skin is then redraped and conservatively removed, so as to avoid a “skin shortage” and the attendant problems with eyelid closure and protection of the ocular surface.
