Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision placed along the natural eyelid fold; excess skin removed and fat excised through the same incision for "an open and alert look" (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Incision placed inside the lower eyelid to remove fat, and under the eyelashes to remove excess skin; the page notes skill is needed to avoid removing excessive tissue.
- Male blepharoplasty. A dedicated section of the practice's page addresses eyelid surgery for men.
- The eyelid page's FAQ distinguishes true ptosis (a levator-muscle problem requiring a different surgery) from excess-skin droop.
