Eyelid surgery work
The blepharoplasty page (shared practice content, with a "Contact Dr. Davies" call to action) states (source):
- Can be performed on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
- Incisions are made within the natural eyelid folds; excess skin and fat are removed, and eyelid fat can be redistributed to contour the area.
- Surgery takes one to two hours.
Disclosed risks: general anesthesia reaction (1 in 5,000-10,000), infection (1-3%), blood clot, hematoma/bleeding (under 1%); possible complications include temporary blurred or double vision, temporary whiteheads, difficulty closing the eyes if too much skin is removed, eye asymmetry, and rare ectropion.
Other procedures
Dr. Davies' own procedure list also includes facelift, FreshLook Lift, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast implant removal and replacement, breast reduction, male breast reduction, arm lift, body lift, Brazilian butt lift, liposuction, mommy makeover, thigh lift, and tummy tuck (source). No brow lift, ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery or canthoplasty is listed.
Insurance and cost
No insurance or Medicare statement for eyelid surgery found. The consultation-prep section names "Price" only as a topic to raise with the surgeon; no dollar figures are published.
Recovery: most patients go home the same day; take at least a week off work; bruising, swelling and blurred vision are common for several days; most symptoms resolve within two weeks; results are described as permanent, though aging continues.
