Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The blepharoplasty guide states "a surgeon makes carefully placed incisions to remove or reposition selected tissue," with upper-lid incisions typically hidden in the natural crease and lower-lid approach varying by whether fat, skin or lid support is the concern (source).
- Upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair and brow lift are each listed as services, described only at a general level on the services page (source).
- Entropion and ectropion are discussed under reconstructive oculoplastic care, without a dedicated procedure page (same page).
Other procedures
Reconstructive oculoplastic care, non-surgical treatment and skin rejuvenation, and diagnostics are listed among the practice's services (source).
Insurance and cost
No insurance, Medicare or pricing statement is published on the services or blepharoplasty-guide pages.
Recovery
- Swelling/bruising. Many patients have 7 to 14 days of visible swelling and bruising; recovery varies by procedure (source).
- Downtime. Many patients plan on 1 to 2 weeks of visible downtime (same page).
- Final result. Eyelid tissues may continue maturing for several weeks or months, especially after lower eyelid surgery or combined procedures (same page).
