Eyelid surgery work
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). The procedure page describes upper and lower blepharoplasty, removing "excess fat, muscle, and skin from the upper and/or lower lids," and notes it can be combined with a brow lift or facelift (source). No surgical technique is named on the page beyond this description, and no recovery timeline is given.
- Brow lift. The site names three techniques: an endoscopic brow lift using "four to six incisions, each about one inch long, placed behind the hairline"; a coronal forehead lift with an ear-to-ear scalp incision; and a subcutaneous forehead lift with the incision at the hairline (source). Site states "over 25 years of specialized experience" for Dr. Joseph (same page).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states cost "varies based on whether an upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or double eyelid surgery is needed" and directs patients to consult Dr. Joseph for pricing; no figure is published (source). The brow lift page states the practice provides "a transparent breakdown of all fees and discusses financing options during your consultation" but does not state a price or address insurance (source).
Recovery
- Back to work. Brow lift: 10 to 14 days (source).
- Bruising. Brow lift bruising typically subsides within the first two weeks (same page).
- Final result. Brow lift full results visible one to two months after surgery; results last 10 to 12 years (same page).
No eyelid-specific (blepharoplasty) recovery timeline is published.
