Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The services page has one section on cosmetic eye surgery. Incisions are made in the upper or lower lids and both skin and fat are resected.
- The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. The page notes it is often done at a younger age than a face lift, since some people develop excess eyelid fat or skin early.
- The site has no separate page for eyelid surgery, brow lift, ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty or revision eyelid surgery, and no before-and-after gallery.
- The FAQ states general anesthesia is used on almost all cosmetic procedures, and post-operative visits are typically at two to three days, two weeks, one month and six months, with the doctor seen at every visit (patients).
Other procedures
The services page lists face lift with neck liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, liposuction, abdominoplasty and post-bariatric body contouring. The practice also has a dermatology clinic run by a nurse practitioner and a laser center (source).
Insurance and cost
- The billing page lists accepted insurance: Blue Cross Blue Shield, BCBS State and Federal Employees, Medicare, Medicaid, MississippiCAN, Ambetter, Allwell, Chips, United Healthcare, Aetna and most commercial insurance (patients).
- The eyelid section makes no statement about coverage for eyelid surgery.
- The site publishes no prices. Payment by Care Credit, and payment plans in some cases.
