THOMAS J. OBERG, M.D.
Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon
Board Certified
EXCEPTIONAL CARE.
REMARKABLE RESULTS.
ORBITAL
SURGERY
The orbit is commonly referred to as the eye socket. Made up of multiple bones, muscles, blood vessels and nerves, it is an important structure that supports and protects the eye. Unfortunately, a variety of problems can occur in the orbit that can affect the function of the eye. These problems range from fractures, tumors, infections, and inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease. Patients with orbital problems may have minimal symptoms, but may suffer from double vision, vision loss, or blindness. Dr. Thomas Oberg is a highly trained and experienced expert orbital surgeon.
UPPER EYELID
& BROWS
Eyelid rejuvenation consists of upper and/or lower lid surgery, also known as upper- and lower-lid blepharoplasty. These are surgical procedures which help to remove the excess skin and fat, and also serves to tighten the supporting structures of the eyelids. This overall helps to restore a more youthful appearance. Frequently performed as a cosmetic procedure, patients may also qualify through insurance if the skin is interfering with their vision to a significant degree.
LOWER EYELID
RECONSTRUCTION
An eyelid which is misdirected inward (entropion), or away from (ectropion), or down from (retraction) the eye may cause a wide variety of problems. This can range from excessive dry eye, to damage of the eye itself. There are many causes and different types of eyelid misdirection. A detailed eye and facial exam is required to determine the cause, as well as the best treatment for each individual patient. We are experts in treating lower eyelid malposition and pride ourselves in performing such surgery in the most aesthetically pleasing manner.
TEAR DRAIN
SURGERY
Excess tearing in adults is surprisingly often a result of overproduction of tears from underlying dry eyes. This is especially true in Utah’s dry climate. Often, over the counter artificial tears will help remedy the situation. If not, we recommend you meet with one of our dry eye specialists to help determine if there are other underlying causes which may be treated. Some patients are determined to have physical obstructions which prevent the outflow of tears. In some instances, surgical correction is required to alleviate the problem.
DRY EYE DISEASE,
STYES, CHALAZION
There are different reasons why people have dry eye. A full exam is required to determine the cause in each specific case. We offer a range of semi-permanent and permanent solutions which provide relief for many patients.
A stye or chalazion is a growth on your eyelid which is often red, tender, and may appear as a large pimple or small abscess. We are able to fully evaluate your eyelids in an attempt to discover the reason behind this problem. We offer both medical and surgical management, including minimally invasive surgical options to treat this disease.

Surgery
COSMETIC
PROCEDURES
The midface refers to the area around the cheek and outside corner of the eyelid. Lifting this area helps to smooth out wrinkles in the lower eyelid and cheek region. This allows us to gently elevate the outside corner of the eyelid, restoring a more youthful appearance, without changing the shape of the eye. Typically performed through an upper eyelid incision, which obviates the need for any additional incisions or scars.
BOTOX® &
FILLERS
We offer a full line of injectables to help smooth wrinkles in the face area. We also use these injectables to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), as well as to help control the symptoms of migraine and tension headache.
Fillers are substances which are injected under the skin. These products are used to restore volume in the face, as well as to help smooth out deeper creases and persistent fine wrinkles. We offer a full line of filler injectables.

I wanted to write a note to let you know how thankful me and my family are for your service and knowledge. A lot has happened in the past 3+ years of our lives but we will always be grateful for all you’ve done
FRIEND
Dr. Oberg,
Thank you for being such an awesome plastic surgeon. For not only doing what you do in helping those in your occupation, but also for being such a friend in your mannerism with your patients. You are one of a kind in that department. To me the interaction is so important to make the patient who is suffering in many areas to feel better about themselves, and you do that. Maybe it was wain, but when I was able to wear makeup again, it made me feel so good. No one really notices that I have a scar. Almost all of the feelings has come back on the side of my eye. You are wonderful.
