Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes an upper eyelid lift (excess skin and fat removed, incision in the natural crease, often under local anesthesia) and a lower eyelid lift (incision below the lash line or transconjunctival, inside the lid, when skin tightening is minimal, typically under general anesthesia, often combined with a mid-facelift). It also describes laser blepharoplasty, an incisionless skin-tightening option performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, and canthopexy/canthoplasty for tightening a low-hanging eyelid. A "supercharged" lower eyelid lift combined with a mid-face lift is described for removing dark circles and a deflated look (eyelid surgery).
The gallery system lists two Eye Lift - Blepharoplasty before-and-after cases, two Brow Lift cases, and four Mid-Face Lift (Lower Eyelid and Cheek Lift) cases (blepharoplasty gallery, brow lift gallery, mid-face gallery).
Other procedures
The site lists body procedures (abdominoplasty, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, breast augmentation, breast lift/reduction, gynecomastia), additional face procedures (facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, facial fat transfer, lip augmentation), hair restoration, and a MedSpa menu (Botox, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, Sciton treatments) (our practice).
Insurance and cost
The site states no information about insurance or Medicare coverage for eyelid surgery and publishes no eyelid-surgery prices. It links to PatientFi, a third-party financing option.
