Eyelid surgery work

The eyelid surgery page describes upper and lower blepharoplasty performed under local anesthesia in an in-office surgical suite, and states it can be combined with a brow lift (source). Per the page: upper eyelid surgery removes excess fatty deposits and loose or sagging skin, sometimes impairing vision; lower eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fine wrinkles and can correct under-eye bags and drooping. The upper eyelid incision is placed in the eyelid fold; the lower eyelid incision is placed in the lash line. The page states she was named "Best Plastic Surgeon" by Worcester Magazine.
