Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty (upper, lower, or both). The eyelid page describes removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids. Dr. Iorio makes small incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids. The procedure is done under local anesthesia with sedation, usually takes one to two hours, and patients go home the same day (eyes).
- Consultations take place at the Cottonwood Heights location, with an examination of the eyelids, facial structure and medical history.
- The page lists dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes and slight asymmetry among rare risks.
- Brow lift. The brow page names three techniques: endoscopic brow lift (small incisions and a camera), temporal brow lift (outer brow), and traditional or coronal brow lift (longer incision along the hairline). Anesthesia is local with sedation or general, depending on technique (brow).
The site has one gallery page (source). Its eyelid cases are labeled Upper Blepharoplasty; Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty with lip lift and fat grafting; and Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty. A Brow Lift and Lip Lift case is also shown.
