Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes both procedures in detail (source):
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision placed in the eyelid crease; excess skin removed, with muscle strip and orbital fat removed as needed.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Incision under the lash margin, inside the lid, or both; fat bulges removed and excess skin trimmed, with lid tightening performed when needed to reduce the risk of lid droop.
- Patients with visual-field-affecting upper eyelid sagging can sometimes get insurance approval, per an eye doctor's determination.
- Recovery: sutures removed 5-7 days after surgery; swelling resolves within about two weeks (sometimes longer); bruising is expected, managed with ice packs.
- Cost is quoted at consultation; no figures published.
Canthopexy (canthoplasty). A dedicated page describes lateral canthopexy for ectropion and lower-lid malposition: a small incision along the outer eyelid crease with repositioning of the lateral canthal tendon; described as a shorter-downtime, faster-recovery procedure (canthopexy).
Other procedures
Brow lift. Three techniques described: traditional (coronal incision ear to ear), endoscopic (multiple small hairline incisions with camera guidance), and transpalpebral browpexy (through an upper eyelid incision, done together with upper blepharoplasty) (browlift). The practice also offers facelift, body contouring (liposuction, tummy tuck, arm and thigh lifts), breast surgery, and FTM top surgery. The practice site has no ptosis-specific or double-eyelid pages.
Insurance and cost
Insurance approval is possible for upper eyelid surgery when a visual-field defect is documented by an eye doctor. No specific price figures for eyelid surgery, canthopexy, or brow lift are published; cost is discussed at consultation.
