Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page (source) describes:
- Upper blepharoplasty. Restores the upper lid crease and removes hooding; can improve peripheral vision when sagging skin blocks sight.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Treats puffiness and tear trough hollows; incisions sit in the lid creases or inside the lower lid (transconjunctival).
- Canthopexy. Reinforces the outer corner of the eye.
- Natural fat pads are preserved where needed to avoid a sunken look.
- Outpatient surgery at an accredited facility under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia; 1 to 3 hours.
- Patients stop blood-thinning supplements and medications two weeks before surgery and stop smoking several weeks before.
The male blepharoplasty page (source) states upper lid surgery is typically done under local anesthesia in the office, and lower lid surgery removes or repositions fat through a transconjunctival or subciliary incision, typically under general anesthesia.
The brow lift page (source) lists endoscopic, temporal, pretrichial (hairline lowering) and coronal brow lifts, plus direct and gliding brow lifts.
The practice's eye lift, men's eye lift and brow lift galleries are titled with Dr. Yarish's name and do not credit cases to Dr. Parikh.
Other procedures
The site lists facelift, neck lift, facial fat transfer, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, breast surgery, body contouring and a medspa. His bio lists research on infection prevention in breast surgery and autologous breast reconstruction.
