Eyelid surgery work
- Procedures listed for Dr. Rowe. Her profile lists "Upper/Lower Blepharoplasty" and "Browlift *primarily endoscopic" among her surgical procedures, along with facelift and neck lift, rhinoplasty, lip lift, chin implant and otoplasty (Dr. Rowe).
- Practice eyelid page. The eyelid page describes upper lid blepharoplasty as a one-hour outpatient surgery in the operating room, with incisions in the natural upper lid crease to remove excess skin and fat. When a low brow adds to upper lid skin, the page recommends a brow lift with upper blepharoplasty. That page names Dr. Bonness as the surgeon (eyelid surgery).
- The same page describes lower lid aging from loose skin, fat bags and a hollow tear trough, with surgery to remove skin and fat and fillers, Botox and resurfacing for volume and fine lines.
- Brow lift. The facial surgery page describes a brow lift through an incision hidden in the hairline, with the forehead skin and muscle elevated and excess skin removed (facial cosmetic surgery).
- Gallery. The blepharoplasty before-and-after page shows endoscopic brow lift with upper blepharoplasty (three views) and lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting, each labeled "performed by Dr. Rowe" (blepharoplasty gallery).

- Eyes pricing: "Starting At $4,983," including surgeon, anesthesia and facility fees, pre and post op visits, post op garments, scar care and BLIS insurance (eyelid surgery).
- The eyelid page lists functional reasons for surgery, such as hanging lid skin that obstructs the view.
