Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid lift. A small incision is made in the natural eyelid crease; fat is removed or repositioned, excess skin trimmed, and the incision closed for minimal scarring. Can be performed in-office under local anesthesia with sedation (source).
- Lower eyelid lift. Incisions hidden just below the lash line or inside the lower lid; fat is repositioned or removed to smooth under-eye bags. Fat grafting is often added to fill tear-trough hollows, and skin may be treated with a moderate-depth chemical peel or small excision (same page).
- Surgery typically takes 1-2 hours; most patients go home the same day (same page).
Other procedures
The practice also offers brow lift, facelift, neck lift, facial fat grafting, chin implant/liposuction and lip lift, plus breast and body procedures (breast augmentation, lift, reduction, mommy makeover, tummy tuck, liposuction, labiaplasty) and non-surgical treatments (source).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid-lift FAQ states insurance "may cover part of the procedure when vision is affected" by excess upper eyelid skin. No specific dollar price is published on the practice's page; the site points to a separate pricing page for a ballpark estimate.
Recovery
- Swelling. Days 1-3: mild swelling, bruising and tightness around the eyes; cold compresses, eye ointment and head elevation help (source).
- Sutures out. Usually removed around day 5-7; makeup can be worn by day 7 (same page).
- Back to work. Many patients return to work, light activities and social events within week 1 (same page).
- Final result. Most swelling resolves by weeks 2-3; final results continue to refine through months 2-3 as scars fade (same page).
