Eyelid surgery work

  • Overview. Treatments listed: eye lift, fat repositioning and reduction, brow lift, and laser resurfacing of the lower eyelids (source).
  • Upper blepharoplasty. Incisions within the natural folds of the upper eyelids; removal of excess skin and, if needed, fat; "muscle enhancement" may be performed to relieve strain. Performed under sedation anesthesia. It can be combined with an endoscopic brow lift (source).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Small incisions on the inner surface of the lower eyelids remove fat deposits without visible scars; the page also describes removing extra skin. Performed under sedation anesthesia (source).
  • Brow lift. An endoscopic brow lift raises the outside portion of the brow through a hidden incision in the hair above the temples using a fiber optic camera. It takes about an hour; swelling and bruising may last three to seven days; results often remain visible for up to 10 years. A chemical brow lift with small amounts of neurotoxin is also offered (source).

The eyes and brows gallery spans four pages of before-and-after cases, including upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting and CO2 laser, and brow lift combined with upper and lower blepharoplasty (source). The site has no page for ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty or revision eyelid surgery.

Other procedures

The practice also offers primary and revision rhinoplasty, face and neck procedures, ear surgery, facial reconstruction, TMJ treatment, injectables and fillers, non-surgical rhinoplasty, energy-based treatments and skin care (cabinmd.com).
