Eyelid surgery work

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin and, if needed, fat from the upper eyelid (source).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Removes or repositions fat and tightens loose skin for under-eye bags (source).
  • Combined 4-lid blepharoplasty. Upper and lower eyelids of both eyes addressed in one session; described on the home and lower-blepharoplasty pages (no dedicated page) (same page; source).
  • Ptosis repair. Three techniques named: levator resection (external, scar hidden in the lid crease), Muller muscle resection (conjunctival approach, no external scar, for partial levator function) and frontalis sling operation (forehead muscle connected to the eyelid via a silicone rod, for severely weakened levator function); ptosis is combined with blepharoplasty when dermatochalasis is also present (source).
  • Ectropion repair. Corrects outward-turning of the eyelid (source).
  • Eyelid reconstruction. After skin cancer excision (source).
  • Eyelid lesion excision. Removal of benign or suspicious eyelid growths (source).
  • Brow lift (non-surgical). Site's dedicated brow lift page describes an injectable (filler and anti-wrinkle injection) brow lift, not a surgical technique; it notes Dr. Rabinovich also offers consultations for a surgical brow lift (source).

Other procedures

Blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm treatment with Botox; orbital tumor and thyroid eye disease diagnosis/treatment; eyelid laceration trauma repair; removal of blind or injured eyes; anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and lip injections (source).

Medicare eyelid operations, 2022 to 2024

From CMS, Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners by Provider and Service, NPI 1245411743. Medicare pays only when the lids block vision, so these are the medical cases. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is paid by the patient and is not in this record. CMS leaves out any code billed fewer than 11 times in a year.
