Eyelid surgery work
Procedure text on the eyelid-surgery and brow-lift pages describes the practice's service and credentials, and is weighted toward Dr. Michael Eisemann's board certifications; both surgeons are named as performing the procedures together.
- Blepharoplasty. Incisions placed in the eyelid crease to remove sagging skin and excess fat, repositioning or adding soft tissue to smooth wrinkles (source). Procedure time 2-4 hours; can be paired with facelift, brow lift or cheek implants (same page). IV sedation with nerve block is offered as an anesthesia option (same page).
- Brow lift. Techniques include a temporal brow lift (incisions along the hairline) and a transpalpebral brow lift (incisions through the upper eyelid, used to treat central/lower forehead muscle tension) (source).
Other procedures
