Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid lift. An incision follows the natural crease of the upper eyelid; excess skin and fat are removed and repositioned.
- Lower eyelid lift. For sagging under-eye skin, an incision along the lower lash line (transcutaneous approach) for skin and fat removal and repositioning. For bulging fat with good skin elasticity, an internal incision (transconjunctival) to reposition and remove fat, with no external scar.
- Upper and lower lids can be treated together or separately. Surgery takes one to three hours in his accredited surgical center.
- Blepharoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures.
- The page states blepharoplasty is "typically considered an aesthetic procedure, not a vision-enhancing one," though peripheral vision may improve when hanging skin is removed.
