Eyelid surgery work
The site's single eyelid page, titled "Eyelid Surgery," describes upper blepharoplasty only (source):
- Upper blepharoplasty. Removes excess upper-eyelid skin, fat and muscle through an incision placed along the eyelid's natural crease, to reposition or remove tissue.
- The page states the procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, lasting 1-3 hours.
- No lower-blepharoplasty, ptosis, double-eyelid, canthoplasty, revision or brow-lift page is published.
Other procedures
The site lists facelift, facial balancing, secondary facelift, lip lift, neck lift, rhinophyma correction and male facelift under Face, plus breast and body procedures (dunedinplasticsurgery.com).
Insurance and cost
No insurance or Medicare statement for eyelid surgery is published. The practice's page states cost "can vary, depending on a myriad of factors," to be discussed at consultation; no price figure is printed.
Recovery
All from source:
- Swelling. Most noticeable in week 1; cold compresses help reduce it.
- Sutures out. Typically removed by week 2, when most swelling and bruising subsides.
- Back to work. By weeks 3-4, most patients resume normal activities, including work.
- Exercise. Light exercise after 2-3 weeks; heavier workouts after about 4-6 weeks.
- Final result. Full results visible in 3 to 6 months as swelling subsides.
