Eyelid surgery work
The practice's page describes upper blepharoplasty for hooded or drooping lids through an incision hidden in the upper eyelid crease, lower blepharoplasty through an incision inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) or occasionally under the lash line, and ptosis repair "performed when true eyelid drooping is caused by weakness of the levator muscle." Brow lift is named as a procedure that can be done at the same time as blepharoplasty (source).
Other procedures
The site's navigation lists facelift, neck lift, brow lift, chin augmentation, fat grafting, ear surgery and rhinoplasty as a face-only practice.
Insurance and cost
Cosmetic blepharoplasty is not covered by insurance; some insurance companies cover it when excess upper-eyelid skin causes documented visual impairment. The site states blepharoplasty generally starts at $6,000, with final pricing set at consultation. Recovery guidance: most patients return to work within 1 week; strenuous activity is restricted for 3 weeks; mild bruising or swelling usually resolves within 2 weeks (source).
