What Cosmetic Surgeries Does Clearview Dermatology Offer?
If you’ve been curious about what cosmetic surgical procedures are available at Clearview Dermatology, you’re in the right place. Dr. Joe Overman is not just a skin cancer specialist, his fellowship training combined Mohs surgery, reconstructive and facial plastic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, laser surgery, and oculoplastic surgery. That breadth of expertise means patients at Clearview have access to some really meaningful cosmetic surgical procedures right here in the Denver metro area.
In this post, we’re breaking down the three cosmetic surgical services Clearview currently offers: upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), scar revision, and benign lesion removal. Whether you’re exploring options for the first time or ready to book a consultation, here’s what you need to know.
Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty, also called an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that addresses drooping, sagging, or puffy eyelids that can make you look tired even when you feel great. Dr. Overman performs blepharoplasty at Clearview’s Littleton (Dakota Ridge) office.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty focuses on the upper eyelids, removing excess skin that creates hooding, impairs the eyelid crease definition, or, in more significant cases, obstructs peripheral vision. Incisions are placed along the natural eyelid crease so that once healed, scarring is virtually invisible.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty targets the under-eye area to address puffiness, under-eye bags, and fine lines. Dr. Overman uses a transconjunctival approach, meaning the incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid where it is completely hidden. Rather than removing lower eyelid fat, he repositions it for a more natural, long-lasting result.
Combining Upper and Lower
Many patients choose to address both upper and lower eyelids at the same time for the most comprehensive result. Dr. Overman will evaluate your entire eye area during your consultation and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your goals.
Recovery
The first week involves swelling and bruising that gradually fades. Most patients return to desk work within 7 to 10 days. Full results become visible over the following two to six months as healing and scar maturation are completed. Blepharoplasty results typically last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Scar Revision
Scar revision is about making scars look as close to normal skin as possible. While no treatment can make a scar completely disappear, the team at Clearview can often achieve significant improvement, even in scars that are years or decades old.
Clearview offers both surgical and laser-based scar revision, and the right approach depends on the type, size, location, and age of your scar. In many cases, a combination of techniques delivers the best results.
Surgical Scar Revision
For raised, thick, or poorly healed scars, surgical revision carefully removes old scar tissue and closes the area using techniques designed to encourage much better healing the second time around. This approach works particularly well for keloids, hypertrophic scars, wide surgical scars, and scars located over joints where movement interfered with initial healing.
Laser Scar Revision
Clearview’s comprehensive laser options allow treatment of virtually any scar type:
- Vascular lasers (pulsed dye laser) reduce redness and promote remodeling in red or raised scars
- Ablative lasers (CO2 and UltraClear) resurface the skin and stimulate collagen regeneration for deep acne scars and texture irregularities
- Non-ablative lasers (Fraxel) work below the surface to stimulate collagen with minimal downtime, ideal for mild to moderate scarring
Types of Scars Treated
The team treats surgical scars, acne scars (ice pick, rolling, and boxcar), traumatic scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars, and stretch marks. Each scar type responds differently, which is why a personalized treatment plan is so important.

Benign Lesion Removal
Most people develop various skin growths over time, moles, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and others. While these are almost always harmless, they can cause irritation, get caught on clothing, or simply bother you cosmetically. Clearview’s board-certified providers can remove a wide variety of benign lesions safely and with minimal scarring.
Types of Lesions Treated
- Moles (nevi), especially those that are raised, in visible locations, or have changed in appearance
- Skin tags, small, soft growths common on the neck, underarms, and groin
- Seborrheic keratoses, raised, waxy growths that become more common with age
- Dermatofibromas, lipomas, epidermal inclusion cysts, cherry angiomas, and more
Removal Techniques
The right removal method depends on the type of lesion and where it’s located. Clearview offers:
- Shave excision, ideal for raised moles and lesions, heals with minimal scarring
- Electrocautery, effective for skin tags and seborrheic keratoses, with immediate hemostasis
- Cryotherapy, freezing with liquid nitrogen, no cutting required
- Laser removal, excellent precision for cosmetically sensitive areas
- Surgical excision, complete removal with tissue sent to the lab for confirmation when needed
What to Expect
Most lesion removal procedures can be completed in a single office visit under local anesthesia. Recovery is typically quick, most patients see complete healing within one to two weeks. If tissue is sent to pathology, results will be reviewed at your follow-up appointment.
