Eyelid surgery work
The blepharoplasty page describes upper eyelid surgery (incision hidden in the natural lid crease, removing excess skin and fat) and two approaches to lower eyelid surgery: a subciliary incision below the lash line, or a transconjunctival incision inside the lower eyelid leaving no external scar. Fat grafting may be added to soften contours. The page also lists a separate male blepharoplasty page. (blepharoplasty, source)
The eyelid before-and-after gallery is credited to the practice generally, showing roughly ten sets of upper blepharoplasty and general "eyes" results. (source)
The practice site has no ptosis repair, canthoplasty or double eyelid surgery page.
Other procedures
The site also offers a brow lift by endoscopic technique (three to five small incisions behind the hairline), which can be combined with eyelid surgery. (source)
Insurance and cost
Recovery: sutures are typically removed within three to five days; most patients return to social activities within one to two weeks. (blepharoplasty)
