Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The eyelid page describes surgery to correct hanging skin around the eyes and bulges from fat pockets. Surgery can be performed on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both (source).
- Conditions listed: loose upper eyelid skin that can impair vision, puffiness from fat, bags under the eyes, drooping lower eyelids that show white below the iris, and lower eyelid wrinkles.
- Good candidates have normal tear production and good eyelid tone. Contact lens wearers may be asked to stop lenses for one to two weeks.
- Alternatives named on the page: laser resurfacing, injectable fillers and PRP therapy.
- A 2019 blog post by Dr. Lytle states the eyelid lift may be combined with a brow lift, dermal fillers or Botox (source).
Gallery: the blepharoplasty gallery shows 6 before-and-after cases, including lower lid, upper lid, and upper and lower blepharoplasty (source).
The site has no page for ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, brow lift or revision eyelid surgery.
Other procedures
The site lists breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction, arm, thigh and back lifts, buttock augmentation, injectables, GLP-1 weight loss injections and skin treatments such as HydraFacial, microneedling and chemical peels.
Insurance and cost
The eyelid page states cost depends on several factors, including technique, and is discussed at consultation. The site publishes no price and no insurance or Medicare statement for eyelid surgery.
Recovery
- Swelling and bruising of the eyelids and surrounding area, with mild discomfort early in recovery (source).
