Eyelid surgery work
The practice's eyelid-surgery page describes upper eyelid surgery via an incision within the natural fold, extending slightly beyond the outer corner, to remove excess skin and fatty tissue, and lower eyelid surgery via an incision below the lashes or inside the lid to remove or redistribute fat; the practice also offers fat pad transposition and structural fat grafting (source). Recovery per the same page: sedentary activity resumes in 1-2 weeks, stitches are typically out within a week, bruising resolves in 1-2 weeks, and sports/strenuous activity resumes after 4-6 weeks.
The eyelid-surgery gallery category loaded with before-and-after photographs, but describes cases using collective practice language rather than crediting a specific surgeon (source).
Other procedures
Dr. Turko's bio describes hand surgery and facial reconstruction alongside facial cosmetic surgery; the practice separately offers facelift surgery.
Insurance and cost
The practice's page states cost estimates, covering pre/post-op visits, anesthesia and facility use, are given after consultation; no price or insurance/Medicare coverage statement is made on the practice's own site.
