Eyelid surgery work
The blepharoplasty page describes removing excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids and removing or repositioning fat to reduce puffiness, correcting drooping upper lids and puffy under-eye bags (source). A separate brow lift page is also listed (source). Before-and-after galleries exist for both blepharoplasty and brow lift (blepharoplasty gallery, brow lift gallery).
Other procedures
The site's broader scope includes breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), tummy tuck, facelift, CoolSculpting, Botox and fillers, laser hair removal, facials and Morpheus8. His bio page lists breast reconstruction as a special area of interest.
Insurance and cost
The blepharoplasty page states insurance typically covers the procedure "if your vision is affected by your sagging eyelid skin," based on a visual field test run by the patient's optometrist; the office can advise which tests are needed. The practice site has no published price for eyelid surgery.
