Eyelid surgery work
The blepharoplasty page describes upper eyelid surgery with an incision along the natural crease, and lower eyelid surgery with the incision placed inside the lid or along the lower lash line; sagging skin is tightened, fat removed and wrinkles smoothed, closed with fine sutures. It is performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthetic and sedation or general anesthesia, and can be combined with a facelift or brow lift (blepharoplasty page).
Brow lift surgery is described as an outpatient procedure with incisions in well-concealed locations to lift and reposition underlying tissue, closed with fine sutures, often combined with facelift or eyelid surgery (brow lift page).
The blepharoplasty page embeds a before-and-after gallery of 8-9 named cases (e.g., "Blepharoplasty Case #535," describing patient age, complaint and whether upper, lower or combined blepharoplasty was performed). A dedicated gallery page filters cases by provider, gender and age, listing Eric J Wright, M.D. as a provider (source).
Other procedures
The site's Face category also covers facelift, chin implant surgery and ellacor micro-coring; Breast covers augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction, implant revision/removal and gynecomastia; Body covers tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL, mommy makeover and post-weight-loss-surgery body contouring. A non-cosmetic migraine surgery service is also listed (source).
Insurance and cost
The site states medical insurance typically does not cover the expenses of cosmetic procedures. Dr. Wright offers AesthetiSure plastic surgery insurance, a single-premium complication-coverage plan; cosmetic eyelid surgery and brow lift are both listed as Tier 1 covered procedures (source). No procedure prices are published.
Recovery, per the procedure pages: eyelid surgery swelling and bruising develop in the first couple of days and gradually fade within the first week; sutures are removed after about 5 to 7 days; most patients return to work and their daily routine after 2 weeks. Brow lift swelling and bruising typically improve within 1 to 2 weeks, with most patients back to work and light activity within 10 to 14 days (blepharoplasty page, brow lift page).
