Eyelid surgery work
- Upper lid blepharoplasty. For heavy eyelid hoods. Fat is removed or repositioned, excess skin is cut away and the muscles around the eye are tightened through an incision in the natural crease. It can often be done in the office under local anesthesia.
- Lower lid blepharoplasty. For puffy or dark, saggy under-eye bags, through a lash-line incision to remove skin; some patients also have muscle and fat removed or repositioned.
- Skin pinch blepharoplasty. A lower lid option that removes excess skin only.
- Transconjunctival blepharoplasty. Fat is removed through an incision inside the lower lid, with no visible scar.
- Fat grafting and transposition. Fat is moved into the tear trough or cheek for dark circles and lost volume.
- Setting. Surgery takes about one hour for the upper lids and up to two hours for the lower lids, in an in-office AAAASF-certified facility or an ambulatory surgery center, usually under local anesthesia or IV sedation. General anesthesia is used when combined with a face or brow lift, rhinoplasty or other facial surgery.
- Gallery. The eyelid gallery shows one before-and-after case and states that more photos are available in the office (source).
The site has no separate brow lift or ptosis page.
