Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The eyelid page describes upper eyelid surgery (skin and fat removed and sculpted, scar hidden in the natural crease) and a lower-eyelid technique that preserves and transposes orbital fat into the tear trough rather than simply removing it, "means less of a hollow-eyed result and less skin is removed" (source).
- The page states eyelid surgery can be combined with fractional CO2 or Erbium laser resurfacing.
- Brow lift. Endoscopic brow lift is offered as a separate face procedure (source).
- Blepharoplasty: 7 cases tagged, with before-and-after photo sets (source); the gallery filter list separately counts 3 cases tagged "Lower Blepharoplasty."
- Endoscopic brow lift: 2 cases tagged (source).
Other procedures
The practice also offers face procedures (facelift/"Whisperlift," rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, otoplasty, lip lift, skin cancer reconstruction, undereye filler, resurfacing), breast and body procedures, and non-surgical skin care, per the main services menu (smytherichmd.com).
Insurance and cost
No eyelid-specific insurance or Medicare statement is published. The site's structured data lists "priceRange: Call for pricing options" with no dollar figures for eyelid surgery.
