Eyelid surgery work
The practice's eyelid surgery page describes upper blepharoplasty as removing excess skin (and fat, if present) through an incision placed in the upper lid fold, closed with fine sutures. For the lower lid, it describes a transconjunctival approach (incision inside the lower eyelid mucosa, no external incision) for fat removal, and a "pinch" technique for removing excess lower lid skin; laser resurfacing, chemical peels and dermarolling are offered alongside surgery to address skin quality. Eyelid surgery is listed as a 30-60 minute procedure, and is often combined with brow lift, mini facelift or fat grafting (source). A mini brow lift is offered as a separate, related procedure (source).
The practice's page's before-and-after gallery shows 8 cases; several are explicitly credited to other surgeons in the practice (Dr. Vath, Dr. Cunningham) rather than to Dr. Wolfe by name (source).
Other procedures
The site's Face category also lists facelift, mini facelift, deep plane facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty and chin augmentation; Dr. Wolfe's own bio emphasizes breast augmentation, breast implant consulting (Allergan, Sientra, Mentor, Motiva) and body procedures (source).
Insurance and cost
Recovery, per the eyelid surgery page: the "at a glance" summary states back to work in 1-2 weeks; swelling and bruising dissipate within 1 to 2 weeks; with makeup, most patients feel ready to appear in public within 2 weeks or less (source).
