Dr. Conn's background is impressive. Trained in ophthalmic plastic surgery, general surgery, eye surgery, and

Most Advanced Technology: Shorter Recovery Process
Dr. Conn is a leader in the use of the laser for cosmetic surgery and facial skin
rejuvenation for the removal of lines, wrinkles, and aging spots. He first began using
lasers in 1978. He has served as a medical consultant to laser manufacturers, and
has helped train medical professionals in the safety and use of the laser for eyelid
surgery and skin resurfacing.
Dr. Conn's distinguished affiliation with the Beckman Laser Institute allows him to
bring to his patients the most advanced technology in the field of laser cosmetic
surgery. He specializes in using the laser for the combination of cosmetic eyelid
surgery and facial resurfacing. The result is a remarkably more youthful appearance of
the eyes and face. Patients literally look years younger. They are delighted with the
superiority of their results and amazed at their short recovery process. Most report
minimal discomfort and little, if any, bruising or swelling.
A World Class Ocular Plastic Surgeon
In this world, there are less than 250
certified ocular plastic surgeons. Of these, very
few have training in general surgery as well. Dr.
Conn is one of those few. His patients hail from
every continent. The elegance of his results have
earned his international reputation as a world
class surgeon.
