Eyelid surgery work
The site has no dedicated eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty technique page. The only eyelid-related page found is a standalone image page showing one lower-blepharoplasty before-and-after photo, captioned "lower bleph" (source). This page is not linked from the site's main navigation or its before-and-after gallery, whose listed categories are Face & Neck, Abdominal, Female Breast, Male Chest, Extremities, Back & Buttocks, Sexual Rejuvenation and Medspa; none is labeled eyelid (source).
Other procedures
Dr. Akkary specializes in face and body contouring surgery, plus non-surgical injectables (neuromodulators, fillers, PRP) and laser treatments; the site states his surgical techniques avoid general anesthesia, which it says reduces recovery time, lowers infection risk and decreases patient cost (yourdreambody.com). The practice's price list separately covers body-contouring and breast procedures alongside cosmetic surgery of the face (source). A second attending surgeon, Mike Chin, DO, MPH, MS, joined the practice; his bio describes general surgery residency at St. John's Episcopal Hospital in New York and a cosmetic surgery fellowship at Southern Surgical Arts, but the site does not credit him with eyelid procedures specifically (same page).
Insurance and cost
No insurance or Medicare statement for eyelid surgery is published. Upper and lower blepharoplasty are each listed at "$6,600" standard price, with a "DREAM member" price of "$4,356" reflecting 40% off the surgeon fee (anesthesia not discounted) (source).
