Eyelid surgery work

- Lower blepharoplasty. Incision placed just below the lower-eyelash line, or a transconjunctival approach hidden inside the lid.
- Brow lift. Endoscopic approach (small, short scalp incisions, concealed scarring, shorter recovery) or coronal approach (single continuous incision from ear level across the top of the head) (source).
Other procedures
The site also lists facelift, Botox, breast surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction, revision), abdominoplasty, liposuction, mommy makeover and gynecomastia.
Insurance and cost
The practice's page states cosmetic procedures are not reimbursed by insurance generally, but gives no statement specific to eyelid surgery and no pricing figures.
Recovery
- Eyelid-surgery swelling settles within a few days; bruising resolves within about two weeks; complete swelling elimination and scar maturation take several months.
- Initial eyelid-surgery recovery period is about five to ten days; contact lenses can resume after one to two weeks or longer.
- Follow-up visits scheduled at one day, one week, one month and 12 months post-surgery.
- Brow-lift patients go home the same day; bruising typically resolves within two weeks.
