Eyelid surgery work
- Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). Performed at an offsite outpatient surgical center under local or general anesthesia; technique depends on the patient's concerns (source):
- Transconjunctival incision: on the inner lower eyelid, completely hidden, for fat bags without excess skin.
- Transcutaneous incision: on the lower eyelid hidden in the lash line, for moderate skin removal and fat treatment.
- Upper eyelid incision: in the natural crease, to tighten skin, remove fat and correct sagging.
- Can be performed in-office under local anesthesia with oral anti-anxiety medication for some upper-lid cases.
- Often paired with facelift or brow lift.
- Double eyelid surgery (Asian eyelid surgery). The FAQ describes creating an upper-lid crease for patients who lack one, "also known as 'double eyelid' surgery."
- Revision eyelid surgery. Addresses asymmetry, residual excess skin/drooping, difficulty closing the eyes, or scarring/contour irregularities after a prior blepharoplasty; final results typically develop between 6 and 12 months (source).
Other procedures
Per site navigation, the practice also offers facelift (deep plane, mini), fat transfer, reconstructive facial surgery, chin and lip augmentation, rhinoplasty (ethnic, revision, teenage), neck lift and liposuction, otoplasty, and non-surgical treatments (FaceTite/AccuTite, RF microneedling, Botox/Dysport, dermal fillers, Kybella, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid lift FAQ states: "Insurance will cover the eyelid lift cost only if your vision is being obstructed by the overhanging skin. Insurance carriers will typically require medical documentation of this issue before agreeing to cover surgery costs." No specific price is published; cost is described as dependent on goals and procedure complexity, discussed at consultation.
