Eyelid surgery work

Procedure text describes the practice's service generally, not Dr. Kronish individually.

  • Upper eyelid blepharoplasty ("eyelift"). Outpatient removal of excess fat and skin from upper eyelids, with incisions along the eyelid-crease contour for minimal visible scarring (source).
  • Lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Reduces excess fat and skin through an incision inside (invisible) or outside (barely visible) the eyelid (same page).
  • Ptosis repair. Tightens the muscles responsible for lid elevation to address drooping upper eyelids that can obstruct vision (same page).
  • Revisional eyelid surgery for complications from prior procedures, and reconstructive surgery for removal and lab examination of eyelid skin lesions and growths (same page).
  • Entropion and ectropion repair, plus tear duct blockage treatment (source).

The practice site has no before-and-after gallery page.

Other procedures

Enucleation, blepharospasm/hemifacial spasm treatment, thyroid eye disease (TED) management, lower eyelid rejuvenation and cheek volumization, and tumor/lesion removal (source).

Insurance and cost

The site's payment page states general Medicare acceptance ("we accept assignment for patients with Traditional Medicare for all covered services," with 20% co-insurance and unmet deductibles due from the patient) but does not specify whether eyelid surgery is a covered service (source). No procedure prices are published.

Medicare eyelid operations, 2022 to 2024

From CMS, Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners by Provider and Service, NPI 1720189699. Medicare pays only when the lids block vision, so these are the medical cases. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is paid by the patient and is not in this record. CMS leaves out any code billed fewer than 11 times in a year.
