Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Primarily involves excision of excess eyelid skin, with incisions placed in existing natural creases (blepharoplasty).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Primary focus is removal of excess fatty deposits (same page).
- Can be paired with facelift or neck lift for enhanced results (same page); surgery takes about one hour, longer if combined with other procedures.
- Brow lift. Offered via traditional or less-invasive endoscopic method, done under local anesthesia with sedation using small incisions to remove excess forehead skin (source).
