Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision placed within the natural eyelid crease to remove excess skin and fat, using magnification for "natural eyelid contouring"; outpatient, under an hour (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Removes or repositions excess tissue for under-eye bags and tightens remaining skin (source).
- Brow lift. Three approaches: classic coronal lift, temporal (lateral) lift, and hairline (pre-trichial) lift, with incisions "hidden within the hair or natural creases" (source).
- The eyelid surgery page states eyelid surgery can be combined with brow lift, facelift or skin resurfacing in one session.
