Eyelid surgery work
The oculoplastics page describes the practice's eyelid services:
- Upper lid blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin and fat through small incisions along the natural eyelid crease; the page notes hooding can interfere with peripheral vision.
- Lower lid blepharoplasty. Treats puffiness and bags through a transconjunctival approach inside the eyelid or an incision just below the lash line, focusing on repositioning or removing fat and tightening skin.
- Ptosis repair. Addresses congenital or acquired drooping of the upper lid, ranging from simple muscle tightening to more complex repair.
- Entropion and ectropion repair. Corrects eyelids that turn in or out.
- Other eyelid care. Chalazion removal, eyelid lesion removal, treatment of misdirected lashes, and Botox for eyelid spasm and tearing.
A separate blepharoplasty page states the procedure corrects drooping eyelids for appearance and vision. The oculoplastics pages are written for the practice and do not name a surgeon. The site has no before-and-after gallery.

Insurance and cost
The site publishes no prices and no statement on insurance or Medicare coverage for eyelid surgery.
