Eyelid surgery work
The practice's blepharoplasty page describes eyelid surgery generally, not attributed to a named surgeon: incisions hidden in the eyelid creases remove small amounts of fat and sagging skin from the upper and/or lower lids, closed with self-dissolving sutures (blepharoplasty). The page states blepharoplasty is the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedure in the United States and presents two case studies (a 55-year-old man, a 63-year-old woman with upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty). The site does not name a specific surgical technique such as transconjunctival approach or fat repositioning.
The brow lift page describes an endoscopic procedure using five incisions hidden in the hair-bearing scalp to elevate the forehead skin and restore eyebrow position, which can be done with or combined with blepharoplasty (browlift).
Other procedures
The practice also offers rhinoplasty, facelift, mini-lift/necklift, liposuction and fat augmentation, earlobe repair, scar revision, laser procedures, Botox and Dysport, Infini (microneedling RF), and skin fold and wrinkle fillers (surgical services).
Insurance and cost
Insurance does not generally cover surgery done purely for cosmetic reasons; surgery to correct peripheral vision or an eye deformity or injury may be reimbursable in whole or in part, per the patient's own carrier (blepharoplasty). The site publishes no price figures.
Recovery, per the blepharoplasty page: swelling and bruising are expected immediately after surgery; significant bruising and swelling of the eyelids continues for 10 days; dissolving stitches fall out after about 7 days.
