Eyelid surgery work
The site describes only upper eyelid blepharoplasty: a small incision to remove excess skin and fat, with the scar hidden in the natural lid crease. It can be performed under local or twilight anesthesia, "rarely" requiring general anesthesia for upper-lid surgery alone. Candidacy factors listed include excess skin affecting vision, general health, and pre-existing eye conditions such as dry eyes, glaucoma, or history of detached retina, which may rule a patient out (source). The practice site has no lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair or canthoplasty page. A before-and-after gallery page for blepharoplasty is published (source).
Other procedures
The site also offers breast augmentation, body contouring (tummy tuck, liposuction, mommy makeover), thigh lift, neck liposuction, ear reshaping, laser skin resurfacing, injectables (Botox, dermal fillers) and vaginal rejuvenation laser treatments.
