- The bio page identifies him as a board-certified plastic surgeon and displays credential marks for the American Board of Plastic Surgery and The Aesthetic Society; the page does not print the certification wording beyond that designation.
Eyelid surgery work
The practice is a five-surgeon group (Boschert, Stefan Craig, Paul Mills, Brendan Alleyne, Angela Hulsey); the eyelid and brow pages describe the practice's approach generally rather than naming an individual surgeon.
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision hidden in the natural upper eyelid crease, with conservative trimming of skin and fat.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Two approaches: transconjunctival, through an incision just inside the lower eyelid with no external scar, or external, through an incision just below the lower lash line. Laser may be used to tighten lower lid skin.
All from source.
- Brow lift. Underlying muscles and tissues are tightened, excess fat removed, and skin redraped for a smooth contour; incisions placed along the hairline. Procedure typically takes 1-2 hours (source).
Gallery: a dedicated blepharoplasty before-and-after gallery lists 12 case photo sets under the face-procedures section (source).
Other procedures
The practice's face-procedures section also covers facelift, mini facelift, rhinoplasty, neck liposuction and non-surgical treatments (Botox, Daxxify, dermal filler, Sculptra, laser); body and breast procedures are offered separately.
Insurance and cost
The eyelid page states eyelid surgery can be covered by health insurance when performed for medical reasons such as obscured vision, but is typically not covered when done for cosmetic reasons. No dollar price for eyelid or brow surgery is published; the brow lift page directs patients to contact the practice for cost.
Recovery statements for eyelid surgery: mild swelling and bruising on days 1-2, peaking around day 3; sutures removed around day 7 with return to light activity; socially presentable and able to return to work by days 10-14; exercise and contact lenses resumed weeks 3-4; full results at 4 to 6 weeks.
