Eyelid surgery work
- Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). The site describes treating heavy wrinkling, droopy eyelids and heavy under-eye bags; upper and lower lids are sometimes addressed separately as upper eyelid lift and lower eyelid lift (source).
- Most eyelid lifts involve removal or repositioning of fat pads to resolve droopiness and bagginess (same page).
- Candidates have sagging or drooping skin in the upper or lower eyelid, upper-lid puffiness and/or lower-lid bagginess (same page).
Other procedures
The practice's main focus, per its home page, is breast and body surgery (breast augmentation, lift, reduction; liposuction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover); it also offers facelift and neck lift, Botox, dermal fillers and non-surgical body contouring (source).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid lift page states the practice "does not participate with commercial insurance carriers or medicare"; payment methods are cash, check, credit card, or financing through CareCredit or PatientFi (source). No price for eyelid surgery is published.
Recovery
- Swelling. Bruising and swelling peak within 24 hours and begin subsiding over the following two weeks (source).
- Back to work. 24 hours of bed rest is recommended immediately after surgery; patients typically return to work after one to two weeks (same page).
- Bruising. Usually resolves in 10 to 14 days (same page).
- Final result. Early results are visible around 6 weeks; the final result, once all swelling resolves, can take up to a year (same page).
