Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page describes removing excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and lower eyelids to treat drooping upper lids or puffy lower lid bags. It states the surgery does not remove crow's feet or dark circles or lift sagging brows, and that sagging brows usually need a brow lift (blepharoplasty).
- The page states the surgery can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes.
- It is performed under local anesthesia in the office, which the page states decreases risk and saves money.
- Brow lift. Corrects drooping brows, forehead lines and lateral brow hooding. Performed through several small hairline incisions with an endoscope, or conventionally through a scalp incision just behind the hairline, under sedation or general anesthesia, and commonly combined with a facelift (source).
Galleries: the blepharoplasty page shows bilateral upper blepharoplasty cases at 6 weeks and 5 months and in-office facelift with blepharoplasty cases. The brow lift page shows endoscopic browlift cases at 2 and 4 months. The photos do not name the operating surgeon.
