Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid surgery. Incision in the natural eyelid crease to remove excess skin for droopy or puffy upper eyelids.
- Lower eyelid surgery. Incision under the lower lashes to remove fat deposits and correct sagging skin beneath the eyes.
- No transconjunctival, fat repositioning, ptosis repair, canthoplasty or double eyelid technique is named specifically (source).
- Brow lift. Two named approaches: endoscopic (small hairline incisions with a video device) and coronal (ear-to-ear incision, longer recovery), sometimes combined with incisions within the upper eyelid crease (source).
- Gallery: eyelid surgery before-and-after page shows 12 visible case studies with a "Load More Cases" option, filterable by gender, age range and provider (source).
Other procedures
The site also lists facelift among its facial procedures, alongside the broader WNY Plastic Surgery service menu.
Insurance and cost
The brow lift page states "most health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgery or its complications," and the practice offers patient financing plans; cost is described as varying by surgeon experience and geography. No price figures are published for eyelid surgery or brow lift (source, source).
