Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid lift page names three techniques (source):
- Upper eyelid. Incision in the natural upper-eyelid crease; used to remove or redistribute fat, tighten skin, remove excess skin, and tighten muscle if needed.
- Lower lash line. Incision just below the lower lash line; removes excess skin and redistributes or removes fat deposits that cause puffiness.
- Transconjunctival eyelid lift. Incision hidden inside the lower eyelid; fat is redistributed or removed. The page states this technique does not address sagging skin or wrinkling since no skin is removed.
Other procedures
The site also lists brow lift surgery under Face Procedures (source), plus facelift, neck lift, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, and FaceTite/AccuTite, alongside breast and body procedures (source).
Insurance and cost
No eyelid-specific insurance or price statement. The insurance page asks patients to contact the office about accepted plans and describes CosmetAssure, a complication-coverage program for elective cosmetic procedures available through ASPS membership (insurance). The practice's page states costs vary by location, extent and combination of procedures, reviewed at consultation, with CareCredit financing offered; no dollar figures are published (source).
The practice's page states swelling and bruising are likely for a few weeks after surgery, and instructs at least 48 hours of rest before slowly resuming light activity, with strenuous activity and exercise held until Dr. Cohn approves (source).
