Eyelid surgery work

The eyelid-surgery and brow-lift pages name both Dr. Mazza and Dr. Sharma jointly, not attributed to one surgeon individually (source):

  • Upper blepharoplasty ("double-lid" surgery). Incision marked along the eyelid crease; excess fat and loose skin removed, fine sutures hidden in natural folds.
  • Transconjunctival blepharoplasty. For lower-eyelid puffiness from excess fat; incision inside the eyelid, fat repositioned to avoid hollowing, no visible scarring.
  • Upper eyelid surgery combined with a brow lift: the brow lift is performed first to position the brow, then the remaining loose upper-lid skin is removed.
  • Brow lift. Endoscopic technique using three to four small incisions, often combined with eyelid surgery or facelift (source).

Other procedures

The practice also offers facelift, neck lift, facial fat transfer, chin implant, ear surgery, and breast and body procedures (sharmaplasticsurgery.com).
