Eyelid surgery work
The combined eyelid-surgery-and-brow-lift page states (source):
- Upper eyelid surgery. Removes excess skin from the upper eyelid and corrects drooping.
- Lower eyelid surgery. Corrects bags and puffiness under the eyes; the page notes lower blepharoplasty is not the best treatment for dark circles specifically.
- Endoscopic brow lift. Small incisions hidden along the hairline; described on the page as "the most advanced and safest brow lift technique available."
- BOTOX brow lift (non-surgical). No anesthesia, incisions or recovery time; lifts brows a few millimeters for 3 to 6 months.
Other procedures
The practice also offers facelift and neck lift, breast procedures (augmentation, lift, reduction, male breast reduction, reconstruction), and body procedures (mommy makeover, tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift and thigh lift), plus non-surgical treatments.
Insurance and cost
The page states: if drooping eyelids are causing vision problems, insurance may cover the procedure, and patients should contact their insurance provider; for purely cosmetic eyelid surgery or brow lift, insurance will not cover it. CareCredit financing is offered; final cost is quoted after consultation, with no dollar figures published (source).
Recovery: swelling and bruising may last one to two weeks; temporary watering eyes, blurred vision, or light sensitivity can occur after eyelid surgery.
