Training and board certification
The site states he is board certified in oculoplastic (ophthalmic plastic) surgery; it does not name the specific certifying board on the pages checked (source). It states he trains other physicians, lectures nationally and internationally, and has authored and reviewed textbooks and peer-reviewed articles on ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, blepharoplasty and facial rejuvenation (source). The ptosis page links to a published article by Massry on ptosis repair for the cosmetic surgeon (ptosis repair).
Eyelid surgery work
The practice's cosmetic eyelid procedures: upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, canthoplasty, cheek lift, fat grafting, and revisional eyelid surgery (cosmetic procedures).
- Upper blepharoplasty. Lifts the upper eyelid for a more vibrant look; in severe cases treats drooping that obstructs vision (upper/lower blepharoplasty).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Reduces eyelid bag prominence; the site describes transposing (repositioning) excess fat into hollows and dark-circle depressions rather than removing it (upper/lower blepharoplasty).
- Ptosis repair. Tightens the internal lifting muscle of the eyelid when it has weakened and the lid margin falls toward the pupil (ptosis repair).
- Canthoplasty. Tightens the outer corner of the eyelids; the gallery page shows it combined with blepharoplasty, cheek lift, fat grafting and lid-margin procedures in revision cases (canthoplasty).
- Revisional eyelid surgery. Site describes addressing an "operated look" or visual problems from prior surgery, calling revision more complex than primary surgery because of scarred, distorted anatomy (revisional surgery).
- Endoscopic brow lift / browpexy. Minimally invasive hairline-incision brow lift; internal or external browpexy offered alongside upper blepharoplasty to stabilize a low brow (endoscopic brow lift).
Other procedures
The practice also offers cheek lift, fat grafting, non-surgical treatment with Juvederm, Restylane and Botox, and reconstructive procedures including anophthalmia (prosthetic eye), eyelid cancer removal, thyroid eye disease treatment, ectropion and entropion repair, and lacrimal gland repair (cosmetic procedures, reconstructive procedures).
Insurance and cost
The practice site makes no statement about insurance, Medicare coverage or price for eyelid surgery.
