Eyelid surgery work

The blepharoplasty page describes upper eyelid correction through an incision in the natural lid crease to remove redundant skin and, where needed, excess fat. For the lower eyelid it describes a transconjunctival (internal) approach to remove or reposition fat, including fat transfer below the orbital rim to correct tear trough deformity, combined where needed with an external incision below the lash line for skin removal. Laser resurfacing is offered alongside blepharoplasty for fine wrinkles. The eyelid before-and-after gallery lists dozens of named patient cases, most labeled upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or both, several combined with midface lift, endoscopic brow lift, or buccal fat pad excision.

Other procedures

The brow lift page describes an endoscopic (minimally invasive) brow lift performed through small incisions inside the hairline. The practice also offers facelift and neck lift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, lip lift, buccal fat removal, liposuction and body contouring, hair transplantation, and medical spa treatments.
