Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. "Incisions will be made in the natural upper eyelid creases to hide scarring" (blepharoplasty page).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Incisions placed either right below the lower lash line or on the inside of the lower eyelids; fat is removed and relocated if necessary (same page).
- Brow lift. Separate brow lift page and gallery (source).
The blepharoplasty page attributes the procedure to both Dr. Daniel Rousso and Dr. Austin Adams without distinguishing technique by surgeon. The practice site has no ptosis, canthoplasty, or double-eyelid page.
Galleries, credited specifically to Dr. Adams: blepharoplasty and brow lifts.
Other procedures
The practice's gallery for Dr. Adams also lists deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, facial implants, otoplasty, lip augmentation, and several skin-rejuvenation treatments (source).
Insurance and cost
"Cosmetic blepharoplasty is not covered by insurance, but functional blepharoplasty may be" (blepharoplasty page). "A procedure treating just the lower or upper eyelids starts at $6,150, and for both starts at $9,350" (same page). Recovery: "about five to seven days before most people can return to work"; blurred vision, temporary swelling, bruising and dryness are common; initial results are visible "a few days to a few weeks" after the procedure (same page).
