The Rare Doctor Who Tells You What You Actually Need
Wow, I went to see Dr. Kotlus for under-eye darkness and honestly I was a little nervous going in. I thought I might need a procedure, but instead he was very honest with me. He took a careful look and told me I was not really at the point where a procedure would be worth it yet. He explained that the changes he saw were there, but mild, and that the improvement from a procedure might be too subtle right now to justify doing it. He also explained why some treatments may only

Great Experience with Dr. Kotlus.
On 10/29, I got Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Repositioning with Dr. Kotlus. Throughout the process, Dr. Kotlus and his staff were very professional. I am VERY HAPPY with my results. Dr. Kotlus has a top notch reputation. His work speaks for itself! Note: To anyone wondering how many weeks you should take off from work, 2 weeks is sufficient. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. KOTLUS

Great Results
This is my only experience with facial surgery. I had bags under my eyes and it’s bothered me for awhile. My dermatologist recommended seeing Dr. Kotlus. My experience with him was fantastic from my first visit until my last visit post surgery. He explained the procedure and was available post surgery. The healing process was not painful. It’s been around 7 weeks since I had lower eyelid surgery and laser and I feel great and I’m very pleased with the results.

Excellent Doctor
Excellent and very gentle doctor, great staff, clean and private office. Great eye and very careful and conservative with his incisions. Provides good support for followup or if any questions after surgery.

Incredible Experience
Working with Dr. Kotlus and his team has honestly been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my lower blepharoplasty from two months ago. The whole process was smooth, seamless, and completely painless. I’d 100% recommend setting up a consult with Dr. Kotlus and his team if you’re considering any type of surgery in his area of expertise.

A Superlative Oculplastic Surgeon!
Dr. Kotlus is a superlative and outstanding Oculoplastic Surgeon. In the Spring of 2023, I got lower eyelid fat pad belpharoplasty and fat repositioning by Dr. Kotlus. Truly satisfied with my results, I decided last Spring of 2024 to go back to Dr. Kotlus to have him perform Asian double-eyelid surgery, upper eyelid blepharoplasty, and blepharotosis repair for my droopy eyelids. I am completely and thoroughly satisfied with my results. I initially came across Dr. Kotlus's

The man is an artist
It's been 1 1/2 years since my blepharoplasty (eye bags, not eyelid surgery. Realself does not give you the right options). It still looks amazing. The man is an artist. He gave me back decades. I looked better at 54 than I did at 36. Highly recommend Dr. Kotlus. There is no pressure. His consultations are comfortable and reassuring. He makes you look natural. The entire experience was kind of magical. I will return to him when it's time again. I researched many doctors for months.

I Love my Results! Dr. Kotlus is Outstanding.
Dr. Kotlus is outstanding. If you are considering eye surgery with him, don’t hesitate! At the initial consultation, he was kind, answered all of my questions and was thoughtful in his recommendations and advice. The surgical suite is off site from his office, but is state of the art and has very competent, professional staff. The anesthesiologist he works with is also outstanding. The procedure went very well and I had no pain after the surgery. Dr. Kotlus was available

Bleph with Fat Trasfer, Laser and Canthopexy Took 8+yrs off my Face
48 y/o female that had lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer and laser.... plus a minor canthopexy to address minor drooping of lower outer eyelid. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kotlus. First and foremost he is board certified, safe, sets realistic expectations, and has follow up appointments to ensure things are healing according to plan. His staff members are kind, warm, organized and pleasant. Absolutely wonderful staff. The lower bleph was the most straight

The results are youthful but natural
Wonderful, precise, kind surgeon! Dr. Kotlus did a fantastic job with upper and lower blepharoplasty on my 53 year old eyelids. The results are youthful but natural. I had absolutely no pain post surgery and the recovery was fairly fast.
