Eyelid surgery work
The services page lists "Blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelids)" as a practice service (source). The page states blepharoplasty can:
- reduce bags or dark circles under the eyes;
- enhance eye shape;
- provide an expanded line of sight for improved vision;
- reduce fine lines on the outer corners and lower eyelids.
It states the procedure can correct defects and deformities of the eyelids, and that patients discussing a facelift or neck lift can add blepharoplasty and recover from both at the same time. The page does not name the operating surgeon or describe incisions or techniques.
The practice's results page shows abdominoplasty and breast before-and-after photographs; it has no eyelid photographs (testimonials). The site has no brow lift, ptosis or canthoplasty page.
Other procedures
Breast reduction, augmentation, lift and reconstruction; abdominoplasty with liposuction; arm and thigh lift; facelift and neck lift; septoplasty and rhinoplasty; upper body transgender surgery; lesion removal; scar and keloid revision; and the Earwell procedure for newborn ear deformities (source).
Insurance and cost
The site publishes no eyelid surgery prices and no insurance statement for eyelid surgery. Its insurance text covers prior authorization for abdominoplasty after massive weight loss (source). The office staff includes an insurance precertification specialist (source).
