Eyelid surgery work
The blepharoplasty page describes the procedure as lifting the upper eyelid and eliminating lax tissue for a brighter, more alert appearance, and states it also corrects puffy eyelids, under-eye bags, drooping lower eyelids, excess skin, fine wrinkles and fat pads (blepharoplasty). The page notes a drooping upper lid can stem from eyebrow and forehead relaxation, for which the surgeon may recommend a brow lift, or from eyelid ptosis, a muscle condition where the lid droops over the eye; in ptosis cases the surgeon suggests blepharoplasty and/or another procedure to restore vision. The page states patients should see immediate results once swelling and bruising subside, usually mild, with full healing in about 2-4 weeks.
The Before & After page states "not yet posted" and shows no before-and-after photographs of any procedure (source).
