General Practitioners

Sinusitis
If youâ€™re suffering from chronic sinusitis and have exhausted your treatment options, you may be a candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty. This minimally invasive surgical solution is a safe and effective method of enlarging your sinus passages for easier breathing and a drastic reduction in sinusitis symptoms.
Primary Care
If your puffiness is from excessive fat, no. This is a surgical matter. However, I have seen lower eyelid puffiness as a result of untreated allergies, fluid retention, and other medical conditions which has responded to treatment from your primary care physician.
Ear Infections
An ear infection occurs when fluid becomes trapped in the middle ear following a viral or bacterial infection. This painful affliction is most common in children, but can affect people of all ages. Ear infections can be either acute (of short duration) or chronic (persisting or reoccurring frequently).
Sleep Disorders
Sleep is vital for good health. Experts recommend a minimum of seven to eight hours of sleep per night for most adults; a lack of sleep can affect your hormone levels, mood, weight and work or school performance and may result in physical, mental, social and emotional problems. Reaching that goal is difficult for many, thanks to the growing prevalence of sleep disorders.
Immunizations
Make sure your child is vaccinated. Immunizations offer protection from many childhood infections that can cause hearing damage.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Decongestants may increase anxiety or cause sleeping difficulty. If you have a medical condition such as glaucoma, high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disorder, diabetes or enlarged prostate, consult with a doctor before using. Common decongestants include...

Endoscopy
In addition to a physical examination and a review of your medical history, your doctor will inspect your nasal passages for polyps and other abnormalities and check for inflammation and a buildup of fluid. Additional tests utilizing nasal endoscopy, CT scans, MRIs and allergy tests can be used to help confirm the diagnosis.

Depression
Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
There are many possible causes of dizziness including low blood pressure, anemia, dehydration, heat-related disorders, endocrine system disorders (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease), heart conditions, high blood pressure, viral and bacterial infections, head trauma, hyperventilation, neurological disorders and certain medications.

MRI
We will carefully examine your nose using a lighted scope and may use a CT scan or MRI in order to diagnose your nasal obstruction. The first step in treating nasal obstructions is getting the symptoms under control. Medications or nasal steroid sprays are often helpful in reducing inflammation of the nose and turbinates and providing immediate, short-term relief.
Computed Tomography
Image guided surgery. This procedure relies on a 3D mapping system using CT scans and information about the exact position of surgical instruments through the use of infrared signals. This allows the surgeon to accurately guide instruments through complex sinus passages and is especially helpful for those with chronic sinusitis or when previous sinus surgery has changed the usual anatomy of the sinuses.
Chemotherapy
Some drugs cause damage to the sensory cells responsible for hearing. These include certain antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, salicylate pain relievers (e.g., aspirin), quinine (for treating malaria) and diuretics. In order to reduce your odds of hearing loss when taking medications, follow these tips...

Ear Surgery
Iâ€™m 27, and I just got engaged. My fiance loves me the way I am, but Iâ€™d like to get ear surgery to fix how far my ears stick out as a surprise. I think she would love the new look. My wedding is in nine months. Is there enough time for me to get ear surgery and be completely healed by the wedding?
Mohs Surgery
Is it better to have Mohs surgery and reconstruction performed by a dermatologist or to have Mohs surgery performed by a dermatologist and then have the reconstruction performed by a plastic surgeon?

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
In many patients, surgery or other interventions, such as injectable fillers or Botox, simply cannot provide the results that are desired. The use of laser can treat a wide array of problems, such as mild to deep wrinkles, acne scars, and poor skin tone and texture.
Brow Lift
The brow lift is an ideal procedure for individuals with low positioned brows or flattened brows which lack an arch. Most patients range in age from forty to sixty, though the procedure can be performed at younger and older ages if necessary. As with all types of surgery, good health and realistic expectations for improvement are important.
Eyelid Surgery
Dr. Oâ€™Mara performs the lower eyelid surgery at an outpatient surgery center using either IV sedation or general anesthesia. Surgical times will vary but generally average one hour in length. Excess fat is typically addressed through an incision located on the inside of the lower eyelid. If excess skin must be removed, the incision is sometimes made under the eyelashes. Working through the incision, Dr. Oâ€™Mara may remove excess fat responsible for bags or reposition the fat to a lower point in order to smooth the junction between the lower eyelid and cheek. Any excess skin beneath the eyelashes is also removed.
Liposuction
Submental or neck liposuction is a procedure involving liposuction of the neck and jaw line to remove localized fat deposits. This procedure can improve the contour of the neck for a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Rhinoplasty
As with other forms of surgery, candidates for rhinoplasty should be physically healthy and have realistic expectations for improvement. Computerized digital imaging is performed during your consultation to aid in visualizing how specific changes would alter your appearance. Younger patients are advised to postpone surgery until the nose is fully grown, which typically occurs during the later high school years.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Oâ€™Mara performs laser skin resurfacing himself in the office procedure room at Facial Plastic Surgery of Beaumont. Treatment and recovery time varies according to the patientâ€™s individual plan of care.
Face Lift
The facelift procedure designed to treat the aging face by improving sagging in the lower portion of the face, primarily the jaw line and neck. During surgery, relaxed or sagging tissue is tightened and excess skin is removed, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance to the neck and jaw line.
Neck Lift
My neck is losing its tone and starting to sag. I would like to have a neck lift, but I am worried that I may have visible scarring. Can you tell me where the scars will be located and how big they will be after neck rejuvenation?
Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty in TX is an ideal procedure for individuals with excess fat and skin of the lower eyelids resulting in a tired appearance. As with all forms of surgery, patients should also be in good physical health and have realistic expectations for improvement. While often performed on its own, lower blepharoplasty may also be combined with a cheek lift, or midface lift, for additional improvement of drooping in this area. Lower blepharoplasty is also commonly combined with upper blepharoplasty for individuals looking to brighten up and refresh the overall appearance of the eyes.
Nose Surgery
Nose surgery can produce very dramatic or very subtle results depending on your desired outcome, and anyone considering rhinoplasty in Texas would be wise to schedule a consultation with Dr. Oâ€™Mara.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty procedure in Beaumont, Texas which corrects outstanding or protruding ears. Candidates for otoplasty include children and adults who have one or both ears that protrude or are too visible from a frontal view. The surgery can be performed as early as age 6 or 7 and the ears will retain their new shape throughout adulthood. This is often a good procedure to perform at an early age as it can spare children the teasing that is often associated with large or protruding ears.
Scar Revision
Scar revision is a surgical procedure, which can minimize the appearance of scars that are raised, widened or depressed. While surgery cannot entirely remove a scar, it can minimize its appearance.
Laser Resurfacing
ProFractional-XC is a procedure done in our office. Topical anesthetic is usually applied prior to the treatment. The procedure normally takes 30-45 minutes depending on the condition and the size of the area treated. Most patients report that Profractional-XC is often less intense than laser resurfacing because only a fraction of the skin is treated.
Cosmetic Surgery
Fat injection, also referred to as fat transfer, is a cosmetic surgery procedure in which fat is harvested from a distant location, usually the abdomen or lateral thigh, and then injected into selected areas of the face. This effectively restores volume in areas where soft tissue volume loss has occurred as a result of the aging process. The procedure can fill wrinkles and lines, enhance the lips, and improve some scars and other skin depressions to restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Dermabrasion
I am a 27 year old black male. As a teenager I had horrible acne. Now as an adult where the worst of the acne was has very dark scar tissue. Will dermabrasion treatments fix this?
Facial Implants
Chin and cheek implants are facial implants which may be used to improve facial balance and harmony, enhance facial highlights, add definition to the face or correct natural insufficiencies. The surgery can create more prominent cheek bones and a better defined chin.
Chin Augmentation
Dr. Oâ€™Mara performs chin and cheek augmentation procedures at an outpatient surgery center using either IV sedation or general anesthesia. Chin implant procedures typically take thirty minutes to complete while cheek augmentation takes approximately one hour. For cheek augmentation, the incisions are typically intraoral, located inside of the mouth below the cheek. For chin augmentation, a small skin incision is made just beneath the chin. Working through these incisions, Dr. Oâ€™Mara will create precise pockets over the mandible and/or cheekbones, then place the implants into these pockets.
Forehead Lift
The brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure which elevates low or drooping brows to a higher position, and acts to reshape the curvature of the brow in a more aesthetically pleasing way.

Skin Cancer
MOHS micrographic surgery, which is performed by a specially trained dermatologist, is a specialized form of skin cancer treatment in Beaumont, Texas in which skin cancers are excised and then examined under a microscope. This process ensures that all involved tissue is removed layer by layer while as much normal, healthy tissue as possible is preserved. MOHS excision has one of the highest cure rates. However, the procedure can leave defects, which are quite extensive.
Acne Treatment
Cyst
Eczema
Allergy drops are an important new treatment option for patients constantly refilling over-the-counter allergy medications or taking daily trips to the doctorâ€™s office for allergy shots. Currently, allergy drops are effective for treating asthma related to dust mites, as well as allergies to grass, ragweed, pet dander and tree pollen. Researchers hope to expand the treatmentâ€™s effectiveness for other allergies such as hay fever, eczema and food sensitivities.
Fungus
Molds are extremely common, both indoors and out. They are a type of fungus that thrives in moist, dark places. Not all molds cause allergic reactions, and not everybody who breathes in mold spores will experience symptoms.
Lesions
Reconstruction of MOHS defects is the reconstruction of skin defects resulting from excision of cancerous lesions and is often performed immediately after the skin cancer removal. Reconstruction is aimed at restoring form and function of the treated area. Dr. Oâ€™Mara performs MOHS defect reconstructions at his office or at an outpatient surgery center. General anesthesia is most often used, though IV sedation is also an option. While surgical times will vary, they average one to three hours.
Chemical Peels
BBL provides gradual improvement rather than immediate results. Depending on the extent of correction the patient is seeking, we recommend anywhere from 2-4 Broad Band Light treatment sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart. Because the treatments are so brief and require little or no recovery, they are ideal for patients with active, busy lifestyles, especially those who donâ€™t have the time to recover from more invasive treatment with laser skin resurfacing or deep chemical peels.
Skin Care
Also, patients may have sun-damaged skin in the form of pigmented spots, or problems with small blood vessels causing chronic redness. Phototherapy is a valuable tool often used in combination with other laser procedures to help improve skin discoloration. Please refer to the Skin Care section for more details.

Physical Therapists

Occupational Therapy
Options include medications (antihistamines, sedatives, antibiotics, steroids), physical or occupational therapy, surgery, repositioning exercises, vestibular retraining programs and lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes and elimination of alcohol and nicotine).

Allergies
A skin prick test is the most common form of allergy testing. This test involves placing a small drop of an allergen extract on your skin. An applicator is then used to prick the skin underneath the drop; this allows for a small amount of solution to enter just below the surface of the skin. Once this is completed, any swelling or redness is measured and, depending on the size, is considered a positive reaction.
