About Me
Dr. Harinderpal S. Chahal is an oculofacial plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, face, and neck. He offers a full spectrum of care—from functional procedures that improve comfort and safety (such as ptosis repair, eyelid malposition correction, and tear-duct surgery) to aesthetic treatments designed to refresh the periocular region. His philosophy blends precision and approachability: he listens closely, sets realistic goals, and crafts treatment plans that reflect each patient’s anatomy and preferences. Dr. Chahal graduated from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, completed internship at Highland Hospital in Oakland and ophthalmology residency at UC Davis, then pursued a two-year ASOPRS-accredited fellowship in oculofacial plastic surgery at the University of Iowa. A Central Valley native, he continues to teach trainees as faculty at UC Davis. Patients can expect attentive follow-up, meticulous surgical technique, and a team committed to natural-looking results and healthy healing.
