Eyelid surgery work
Her bio lists, under facial rejuvenation procedures: "Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, Brow Lifts, Botox Injections, Soft Tissue Fillers, Cosmetic Laser Services"; and under reconstructive oculoplastic surgeries: "Ptosis Repair... Ectropion and Entropion Repair... Blocked Tear Duct Repair... Management of Orbital Tumors and Disorders... Repair of Orbital, Eyelid, and Tear Duct Trauma" (oomc.com/doctor/kalla-gervasio-md). The bio does not describe her personal surgical technique.
A brand-wide Kremer Eye Center oculoplastics page (not specific to Dr. Gervasio) describes the practice's offerings: adult droopy eyelid (ptosis, from separation of the levator muscle tendon), entropion repair, ectropion repair, eyelid tumor removal and reconstruction, tear duct problems, and blepharoplasty ("excessive skin on the upper eyelids... can interfere with vision") (oculoplastics).
The practice site has no before-and-after photo gallery of eyelid or brow work on either her bio page or the Kremer oculoplastics page.
