Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. Treats excess sagging skin on the upper or lower eyelids, plus under-eye puffiness and bags.
- Procedure. Takes about an hour under local anesthetic. Incisions are closed with removable sutures, skin adhesives or surgical tape and are placed so scars sit within the natural eyelid shape.
- Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty. One case caption describes removing a prominent lower lid fat pad through the inside of the eyelid, combined with fat grafting around the eyes and cheeks using the Sientra Vitality fat processing system.
- Browpexy. For lateral brow descent with hooding, the page describes a browpexy done through the upper blepharoplasty incision. It anchors the lateral orbicularis muscle to the orbital rim so the brows do not drop further. One case is an 80-year-old woman whose upper visual field was blocked by skin and brow ptosis; the caption states her vision improved after browpexy with upper blepharoplasty.
- The page states candidates are typically 35 or older, and that smokers or patients with serious eye conditions may not be candidates.
Gallery: the blepharoplasty gallery lists seven patient entries (source). The site has no separate brow lift, ptosis or canthoplasty page.

Recovery

- Everyday activities can normally resume after 10 days.
- Patients avoid direct sunlight on the eye area until healed.
- Scars are pinkest at 6 weeks and fade over 6 months or longer.
- Results are long lasting; removed lower lid fat and skin do not regenerate.
