Eyelid surgery work
The practice offers one combined page for "Eyelid Lift | Brow Lift." Blepharoplasty is described as removal of excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, with incisions positioned along natural eyelid creases to minimize visible scarring. Surgery is performed at Dr. Mani's private, AAAHC-accredited surgical center, under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation depending on the case. Brow lift is described as small incisions made along the hairline to lift and reposition the brows and smooth the forehead (source).
The practice site has no before-and-after gallery page for eyelid or brow lift; the site's photo gallery lists only Body (lower body lift, lower buttock lift, tummy tuck), Breast, and MedSpa (Kybella) categories (source).
Other procedures
The practice also offers facelift, neck lift, Botox/neuromodulators, dermal fillers, Kybella, and breast and body surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, body lift, arm lift, thigh lift, mommy makeover) (source).
Insurance and cost
The practice site has no statements about insurance, Medicare or eyelid/brow-lift pricing.
Recovery: sutures are usually removed within a week; most patients resume daily activities within 7 to 10 days; makeup can conceal residual bruising after about two weeks; more intense exercise resumes after 2 to 3 weeks, once cleared (source).
