Eyelid surgery work
The practice keeps a separate page for Dr. Sessa's blepharoplasty work (distinct from a "Blepharoplasty With Dr. Winnie Lee" page), which states "double-board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alberico Sessa has completed over 25,000 surgeries with more than 18 years of experience" performing the procedure (source).
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incisions placed in the eyelid crease; excess skin and fat removed or repositioned; closed with fine sutures; can improve peripheral vision when sagging is severe.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Incisions below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid using the transconjunctival technique; allows fat repositioning and skin tightening without external scars.
- Anesthesia is typically local with light sedation, with general anesthesia for more extensive correction; surgery lasts about one to two hours; patients go home the same day.
- Recovery: first 48 hours bring mild swelling and bruising; sutures are removed and swelling starts to subside days 3-7, with most patients back to light activity and office work; residual swelling and redness fade over weeks 2-4; final results are visible at 2-3 months as the contour smooths and scars mature.
- Cost is not published; the page states pricing depends on whether upper or lower eyelids are treated and is quoted at consultation.
- The practice also offers a brow lift, described as lifting sagging eyebrows and restoring forehead position, often recommended alongside blepharoplasty for complete rejuvenation (brow lift).
