Eyelid surgery work

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin, fat and/or muscle from the upper eyelid; incision placed along the natural eyelid crease; closed with sutures or surgical adhesive (source).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Incision along the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), chosen based on patient anatomy (source).
  • Ptosis repair. Usually tightens the levator muscle to elevate the eyelid; in severe ptosis with a very weak levator, a frontalis "sling" operation may use the forehead muscles to lift the eyelid; other repairs address the muscle on the inside of the lid (ptosis).
  • Brow lift. Separate procedure page exists (source).
  • No canthoplasty, double eyelid or dedicated revision eyelid page found.

Other procedures

The group practice also offers breast, body and MedSpa procedures, shown in separate gallery categories (source).

Recovery
