What Dr. Kirzhner's Patients Are Saying:

Dr. Kirzhner has been amazing to work with throughout this entire experience. I absolutely love the way my eyes look now and am no longer afraid to go out in public and be embarrassed of my eye shape and eyelids.

Dr. Kirzhner has been amazing to work with throughout this entire experience. I absolutely love the way my eyes look now and I am no longer afraid to go out in public and be embarrassed of my eye shape and eyelids. My first check up post surgery was so encouraging and I really felt like MK cared about me personally. I will definitely be referring all of my friends and family members.

I would highly recommend Dr. Maria Kirzhner for any surgery that you may need. Her Office Manager Stephanie Kandetzki also did an excellent job in helping me with the paperwork required. I met them both in April of 2023 when I had to have a good part of my lower eyelid removed and new skin grafted due to basal cell carcinoma. The procedure seemed quite odd to me as I had to have my upper lid sewn to my lower lid for a while; however, Dr. Kirzhner explained this to me so that I felt comfortable having the procedure completed. It has been almost a year now and you can hardly tell that I had surgery. Both are so down to earth and made me feel like I had known them all my life which made this difficult process much easier. They stayed in contact with me after the surgery to assure all was progressing as expected. They truly care about their patients and do excellent work.
I would have rated them higher if that was an option.

Dr. Kirzhner is not only highly skilled; she cares deeply about her patients. She is confidence-inspiring, compassionate, and treats the whole patient. She took extra care to make sure I was comfortable before the surgery. She listens and answers all questions. I would recommend her heartily.

For almost a year I had been experiencing refraction of oncoming car lights while driving at night such that I avoided doing this. I thought it was due to growing cataracts but realized it was due to my eyelashes turning down and in as my drooping lids put pressure on them. Dr. Kirzhner performed eyelid surgery in Aug. and I took my annual trip to Hatteras Is. in Oct. An emergency required I return home one evening. I was on the road before I realized 4 hrs. of the 6 hr. drive would be in the dark! I was amazed that there was almost no refraction of oncoming lights! Prior to surgery I had been looking through turned down eyelashes. Dr. Kirzhner is a very caring and excellent surgeon, and I am looking better in both senses if the word. Also I am a confident night driver again.

Every morning when I look at my eyes, I thank Dr Kirzhner for the fabulous job she did on my lower lids (Bags). She is simply a magician. I could not be any happier with the results!

-   Sonia M.

I went to Dr. Kirzhner for her knowledge of ophthalmology, her skill as a surgeon, and her aesthetic sense. I had an excellent experience and am very pleased with the results. Highly recommend.

-   Alexis H.

Doctor Maria is a competent professional. She is devoted to her patients’ well-being and extremely congenial. Took years off my lower eyelids! Bravo….

-   R.C.

Having surgery (Blepharoplasty) under the expert care of Maria Kirzhner, MD, has been a positive experience. After interviewing another surgeon, I met with MK and she really took the time necessary for me to understand the procedure. Her professionalism stood out. Her staff, and the staff at Soaring Surgery Center are extremely friendly, warm and competent. Thank you Dr. Kirzhner, and team.

-   Brenda

I am very grateful for the quality of care I received. Dr. Kirzhner is a true professional who takes great pride in her work and has a very unique skill set. I feel very blessed to have someone so talented share their gifts with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to do to get started?

Step number one is scheduling a consultation. During an initial consultation, you will have an in-depth meeting with Dr. Kirzhner addressing your concerns.

How do I know what treatment is right for me?

Dr. Kirzhner will recommend a specific procedure (or combination of procedures) that best meet your needs and provide you with the best treatment or surgical approach. Before and after photos of similar cases will also be shared during your consultation.

How often will I need to receive treatment?

Truthfully, it depends. Most clients who receive RHA fillers return within 6 months to a year, whereas Botox, Daxxify, and/or Xeomin require frequent injections every 3-4 months. 

Are there any essential items needed for surgery preparation?

Yes, the following essentials are a must: 

  1. Pharmacy Prescriptions: After surgery medications will be sent to your pharmacy ahead of time. Please pick up all prescriptions prior to your surgery date. If your pharmacy did not receive any prescriptions prior to surgery, please contact our office immediately.
  2. Over the Counter Medications: 
    • Arnica/Anicare pills are recommended for surgery to help with the healing process. Dr. Kirzhner recommends patients to start taking this homeopathic medication at least three days prior to surgery and for three days after surgery. However, this medication is only recommended and if you are unable to use this, that is perfectly okay. Ask our staff about in-house purchases.
    • Artificial Tear Lubricating Eye Drops: Your eyes will temporarily dry after your procedure. Place one drop in each eye 4 times a day as needed for dryness. This can be purchased at any pharmacy.
  3. Eye Gel Packs: Gel masks are highly recommended for cold compresses for after surgery care. Cold compresses will be used to the surgery site for 15 minutes every hour you are awake for the first 2 days following surgery. In-house purchasing is also available for this.
  4. Extra Strength Tylenol (Acetaminophen): After surgery, you may experience some mild discomfort. Extra Strength Tylenol is recommended for any mild pain or discomfort.
What to expect on the day of surgery?

On the day of your procedure dress comfortably in clean and loose-fitting clothes. Shirts that can be buttoned or zipped are preferred.

Do not wear any makeup, moisturizer/ sunscreen, or any facial products. A clean face and eyes are preferred. Please shower the night before or the morning of surgery and wash your hair. This will help reduce the risk of infection by eliminating bacteria.

Do not wear contact lenses and remember to bring your glasses/readers with you to sign any necessary paperwork.

Please remove all piercings and leave any valuables at home.

You will need a driver with you to drive you home after your surgery. 

What will it cost to receive treatment?

Cost of treatment will vary, but we’ll always provide upfront pricing before you receive any treatment.

Do I need to stop any medications prior to surgery?

 Yes, a full list of medications to avoid prior to surgery will be given at your consultation. However, blood thinner medications MUST BE discontinued and approved by your medical doctor prior to surgery. All blood thinners must be stopped in order to proceed. If blood thinner medications can not be stopped prior to surgery, then your surgery can not proceed due to a higher risk of bleeding. Coumadin/Warfarin, Plavix, Xarelto, Pradaxa, and Eliquis should be discontinued 3-5 days prior to surgery. Aspirin, BC, Aleve, Advil, Motrin, Ecotrin, Excedrin, Dristan, Celebrax, Naprosyn, Vanquish, Midol, and Alka Seltzer are also among the list of blood thinning medications that should be stopped 7-10 days prior to surgery. 

What are the post operative instructions?

In-depth post operative instructions will be given during your consultation. The list provided below is a quick overview for some of the instructions. 

  • Cold compresses are a MUST and should be applied until bedtime (at least 15 minutes out of every hour) the day of your procedure and then continued the following day. 
  • Prescription antibiotic ointment and/ or antibiotic eye drops are essential for recovery.  Prescription medication should be picked up prior to surgery. If your pharmacy does not have the prescription, please contact our office.
  • AVOID bending over the waist, strenuous activity, and heavy lifting (over 10 pounds) for the first FIVE days after surgery.
  • Mild-to-moderate discomfort may occur after surgery, but this varies. For any discomfort you may take Extra Strength Tylenol if capable. In most cases, cold compresses are excellent at alleviating any discomfort.
  • For follow up care, your post op appointment will generally take place within 7-14 days after your procedure. However, this does vary depending on procedural types.
