Eyelid surgery work

• Dr. Fullmer's bio names "eyelid surgeries" as one of his areas of expertise (Dr. Fullmer).
• The practice eyelid page covers ptosis, blepharoplasty, lower eyelid malpositions and eyelid growths. It features the practice's oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Samuel Beckstead (eyelid surgery).
• Ptosis. The page describes drooping of the upper eyelid from a weak or damaged levator muscle, present at birth or acquired. Surgical options named are levator resection and frontalis sling surgery. The page also lists medication for nerve or muscle causes, ptosis crutches on eyeglasses and Botox for some mild cases.
• Blepharoplasty. Removes excess eyelid skin and fat. Nonsurgical options listed are laser resurfacing, radiofrequency, Ultherapy, Botox and fillers.
• Ectropion and entropion. Definitive treatment is surgical tightening and repositioning of the lower eyelid; conservative care uses lubrication and taping.
• Eyelid neoplasms. Growths may be monitored, treated with medication, or biopsied or excised.
• The practice gallery shows upper and lower lid blepharoplasty, Mullerectomy, ptosis repair by external levator attachment and brow ptosis repair. The eyelid page presents the gallery with Dr. Beckstead's section, and it names no case as Dr. Fullmer's (source).

Other procedures

Insurance and cost

• The practice states it "accepts medical insurance only" and does not bill vision insurance plans for routine eye exams, glasses or contact lenses (eyelid surgery).
