Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Dr. Sloan removes measured amounts of excess skin and repositions underlying tissue; incisions sit in the natural eyelid crease. The page states it can improve the visual field when skin droops over the lashes.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Uses transconjunctival incisions inside the lower eyelid when possible. Fat can be repositioned or removed, and volume restored with facial fat transfer.
- Male blepharoplasty. A separate section addresses excess upper eyelid skin in men affecting appearance and vision.
- Common combinations: brow lift, facial fat transfer and CO2 laser skin resurfacing.
- Brow lift. Three techniques are described: endoscopic brow lift with small incisions in the hairline guided by a camera; temporal brow lift for the outer brow, often combined with blepharoplasty; and direct brow lift for select reconstructive or functional cases such as facial nerve weakness (source).
Gallery: the results page states its cases were performed by Dr. Chad Sloan and lists four blepharoplasty cases: lower eyelid blepharoplasty with facial fat transfer and nostril narrowing, two upper eyelid blepharoplasty cases, and a male upper eyelid blepharoplasty for skin affecting vision and reading (results).
The site has no page for ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty or revision eyelid surgery.
Other procedures
Dr. Sloan also offers rhinoplasty and septoplasty, deep plane face and neck lift, CO2 laser skin resurfacing, chin augmentation and genioplasty, otoplasty, facial fat transfer and buccal fat pad removal (source). The practice provides wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma care, sleep apnea surgery and TMJ treatment.
Insurance and cost
- "Cosmetic blepharoplasty is typically not covered." When upper eyelid excess causes documented visual field impairment, insurance may cover the functional component (blepharoplasty).
- The about page states the practice "accepts most insurance plans" (source).
- The site publishes no eyelid or brow surgery prices.
Recovery
- Blepharoplasty: most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days; bruising and swelling are common in the first week; final results are typically visible within 2-3 months (blepharoplasty).
- Brow lift: normal activities within 10-14 days; strenuous activity avoided for 3-4 weeks; results typically last 5-10 years (source).
