Martin K. Fallor, M.D.

Doctor / Lawyer Believes Eye Surgery
Is More Than An Open And Shut Case

They say the eyes are the mirrors of the soul.  There are 12,500 pair of eyes reflecting back to the world the work of Martin K. Fallor, M..D.  That's the number of cosmetic eye surgeries performed by this gifted, Board-Certified ophthalmic and reconstructive surgeon over the past 13 years.

A natural, improved post-operative appearance is a much more desirable result than an obviously surgical, artificial look.

In accomplishing this feat, Dr. Fallor has traveled to nine locations throughout California, performing surgeries for cosmetic and medical reasons (sometimes a combination of both) on people from all walks of life.

Such as:

Reverend Royal Blue of Palo Cedro, who opted for surgery because, at the end of the day, I sit in my chair and just hold up my eyelids.  It felt so good

Receptionist Ramona Butler of Anderson, who noted with glee that after surgery (on her eyes,  remember), acquaintances would declare, My gosh, you've lost weight!

Airline pilots, who needed the career-saving surgery because eyelids flying at half-mast can cause excessive eye watering and fatigue as well as impaired peripheral vision.

It's Hard To Lay Down The Law
When Your Eyelids Won't Stand Up

Dr. Fallor recalls helping a Laguna Beach defense attorney whose excessive tearing caused by drooping lids made him look over emotional.  He was self-conscious because he would address the jury and his eyes would tear up, recounts Dr. Fallor, who remedied the situation.

We have no evidence of how many cases the attorney won after the surgery in comparison with before reaching a verdict about his appearance, but it is true that Dr. Fallor has made a judgment to add a few more initials to his name.  In his spare time, the M.D. recently completed law school and is now preparing to take the bar exam.  As someone who became a surgeon by the age of 22, Dr. Fallor should pass on his first try with flying colors.

On the physician front, Dr. Fallor continues to specialize in cosmetic eye surgery.  He has become an expert in the field, using both laser and traditional surgical techniques. I wanted to stick to one specialty and excel at it, and eyes interested me most.

He cautions patients considering eye surgery with a rhetorical question. With cosmetic surgery technology advancing at such a rapid rate, how can any one doctor remain on top of all the latest techniques and be excellent at each procedure?

Under The Lid Is The Logic
Behind The Man And The M.D.

Thanks to both nature and nurturing, Dr. Fallor is a conservative, well-reasoned physician.  As an intern, he helped develop the trauma and reconstructive service currently in place at the L.A. County-USC Medical Center, and also received specialty training across town at the world-famous Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA.  Even patients not fortunate enough to visit Dr. Fallor in person may derive the benefits of his expertise;  this highly regarded aesthetic physician has instructed several colleagues and written numerous publications.

Asked to speak at a recent medical conference in Hawaii on the topic of balancing a professional and personal life, the young yet seasoned Dr. Fallor shared his philosophy of   blending life.  He told a rapt audience,  It's difficult to strike a balance in life, but I try to blend elements of my practice and my family.

He does that in part by considering his staff as part of his extended family.  My staff members are a big part of my life.  We are a team whose common goal is to give each patient the best care possible.

He doesn't neglect his immediate family, either.  With my family, I share quality time, going to breakfast on weekends and relishing enjoyable walks on the beach.

This excellent physician and wise man recommends a healthy blend to his patients as well.  Believing less is more, he counsels, Don't try to get rid of every flaw. A  natural, improved post-operative appearance is a much more desirable result than an obviously surgical, artificial look.
