Eyelid surgery work
The practice's services pages describe procedures at the practice level, not attributed to an individual surgeon.
- Blepharoplasty. Removes excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids; incisions hidden in the upper-lid crease and just below the lower lashes (surgical).
- Ptosis. Surgical correction of drooping eyelid, for vision or cosmetic reasons (surgical).
