Dr. Robert Applebaum

Dr. Robert J. Applebaum is an oculoplastic surgeon whose practice blends functional eyelid care with thoughtful aesthetic rejuvenation. Patients see him for concerns ranging from droopy or heavy lids to reconstruction after skin-cancer removal, and for minimally invasive treatments that refresh the eye area while preserving a natural look. He is known for clear communication about options, realistic expectations, and recovery timelines so people can choose the approach that best fits their goals.

Dr. Applebaum earned a combined MD/MBA at the University of Florida, completed ophthalmology residency at the University of South Florida, and pursued advanced training in oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the J. Justin Older Eyelid Institute. In the exam room and operating suite, he offers upper and lower blepharoplasty, brow lifts, eyelid reconstruction after Mohs surgery, and cosmetic injectables such as hyaluronic-acid fillers and Kybella. He welcomes adults and children for eyelid and periocular care and coordinates closely with dermatology, oncology, and primary eye care to ensure long-term comfort, vision, and appearance.
