Eyelid surgery work

The eyelid surgery page describes an eyelid lift as removing excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids to correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below the eyes. Incisions follow the natural lines of the eyelids: in the creases of the upper lids, and just below the lashes or inside the lower lids, sometimes extending into the crow's feet. Surgery takes 1 to 3 hours under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia if preferred, and is usually outpatient. Embedded videos on the page show Dr. Wang performing blepharoplasty combined with brow lift, and separately with rhinoplasty and chin implant (eyelid surgery page).

The blepharoplasty before-and-after gallery shows 37 photos (source).

Other procedures

The Face category also lists brow lift, deep plane facelift, mini facelift, S-lift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, buccal fat removal, facial implants and lip lift; the practice also offers breast and body procedures, male plastic surgery, hair restoration and non-surgical injectables and laser treatments (source).
