Discssing trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty:

There is a procedure that is very hot right now – it minimizes the sagging under eye pouches by operating on the inside of the lower eyelid to remove the fat.  Patients are interested in the procedure because it leaves no visible scar.


Jelks is one of the few plastic surgeons to be “double-boarded” — officially recognized in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery.

Practice Closure & Retirement

After more than 40 years of practicing medicine together, Drs. Elizabeth and Glenn Jelks have made the decision to retire and will be closing Glenn W. Jelks, M.D., P.C. (the “Practice”) as of August 31, 2026. We will no longer be able to provide medical care after that date.

Caring for you has been an extraordinary privilege, and we remain deeply grateful for the trust you placed in us. The Practice has always been intentionally small and personal, and the relationships we’ve built through the years are more than words can express.

Your continued care is important. We encourage you to establish care with a board-certified plastic surgeon or appropriate specialist who aligns with your goals.

Your medical records will remain confidential and securely maintained for six years, or as otherwise required by applicable law, after the Practice closes. During this time, if you would like a copy of your records or wish to have them released to your new provider, please complete this request form, which includes an authorization for your completion.

We extend to you our best wishes for your future health and happiness.

Warm regards,
Glenn W Jelks MD
Elizabeth B Jelks MD
