Heath Charvet, MD, is a plastic surgeon at Magnolia Plastic Surgery and MedSpa in New Orleans, Louisiana. His practice publishes detailed eyelid surgery and brow lift pages and a before-and-after eyelid surgery gallery.
Training and board certification
Dr. Charvet is double board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He earned a bachelor's degree in genetics, Cum Laude, from the University of Georgia, and his medical degree in 2011 from the Louisiana State University Health Science Center of New Orleans School of Medicine. He completed general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at the University of California, Davis, where he was named Outstanding Chief Resident (2016-2017), and spent a dedicated research year on fat grafting and breast cancer risk in post-mastectomy reconstruction, earning the Best Experimental Paper award from the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal (2018), ASPS's "Best of the Best Greatest Hits" (2017) and the California Society of Plastic Surgeons' Best Overall Paper award.

Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes upper blepharoplasty (an incision along the upper lid crease, performed under local anesthesia), lower blepharoplasty (an incision below the lash line), and quad blepharoplasty (combined upper and lower, typically under Monitored Anesthesia Care/twilight sedation). Dr. Charvet pairs a high-concentration TCA peel on the lower eyelid with upper blepharoplasty when skin tone allows, and combines lateral canthopexy and nanofat grafting with lower eyelid surgery to smooth the lid-cheek transition. The eyelid surgery gallery shows a before-and-after patient. A separate brow lift page describes four incision approaches: traditional (open), trichophytic, lateral/temporal, and endoscopic forehead lift; the practice site has no dedicated brow lift gallery.
Other procedures
The site lists facelift, neck lift, facial fat grafting, rhinoplasty, and chin augmentation under facial surgery; breast augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction and revision; body contouring including mommy makeover, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck ("Cali-Tuck"), liposculpture, body lift and after-weight-loss-surgery procedures; and male procedures (abdominal/pectoral etching, gynecomastia). Non-surgical offerings include injectables, laser skin treatments and hair restoration.
Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states that if loose upper eyelid skin obstructs vision, health insurance may cover part of the cost; the practice assists with claim paperwork, and a letter from an optometrist or ophthalmologist documenting the vision impairment is typically required. No dollar price is published for eyelid surgery or brow lift; both pages state costs are discussed after a treatment plan is created at consultation, with financing available.
