Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The eyelid surgery page describes upper eyelid surgery for a heavy, hooded appearance, with an incision in the natural upper-eyelid crease, and lower eyelid surgery for under-eye bags and puffiness, performed either through a transconjunctival incision (inside the lower eyelid, no external scar) or through an incision near the eyelashes when excess skin is also treated (source).
- Floppy eyelid syndrome surgery. A separate page describes this condition (upper eyelid laxity causing chronic eye irritation) and states Dr. Volshteyn performs at least three different surgical approaches depending on severity, patient age and desired outcome, often combined with cosmetic blepharoplasty (source).
Gallery: the eyelid-lift before-and-after page shows two patient cases (before/after pairs) captioned as depicting blepharoplasty, some combined with facelift, brow lift or liposculpture (eyelid-lift-blepharoplasty gallery).
Other procedures
The practice also offers facelift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, breast surgery, body contouring, lipedema surgery, hand surgery and reconstructive procedures for trauma, cancer and prior surgery complications (source).
Insurance and cost
The practice site has no statement on insurance, Medicare coverage, or pricing for eyelid surgery.
